multiple jobs while day/swing trading?

V

i have a full time IT job supporting a financial company. before the pre-covid, i had some down time when there isn't alot computer issue with users and i could do my day/swing trade. now with work from home, i had alot of down time so i day trade. but with a whole year of staying at home, i needed some exercise. so i thought to myself why not get paid at the same time. and i starting doing part time bike food delivery with ubereat and door dash. so imagine trying to day trade, full time job, and ubereat at the same time.

just wondering if anyone out there are doing the same thing?

Which job is top priority? I hate cold food. :)

my main job is 6 figures job. so that's my priority. and if i don't have any open position that i need to monitor on my day trade, and if i see an ubereat/door dash order that is 1 mile radius of me and pay a minimum of $7/order, then i will cherry pick those orders to do.

When I decided to daytrade fulltime, I quit my job in IT support and worked as instructor(Cisco, Microsoft, Juniper) after market. Now I only daytrade.
 
the funny thing that i found doing physical work is more enjoyable than my IT job and day trading. not that stressful. not stuck in a cubicle. get to go outside and exercise and breath fresh air. customer are always happy to see you when you bring them their food. work on your own schedule, make as much or little as your want. really no boss to micro manage you. maybe if i ever get laid off from my IT job, i would do ubereat/door dash and trading as my full time job.
 
I, a fellow IT guy, feel exactly like below. The ability to work remotely and being able to trade is a godsend.
