Anyone here got a side hustle ON TOP of working 80-100 hours a week?

Just wondering, anyone got a side hustle for extra income in additional to working 80-100 hours per week at your regular day job? What is your side hustle(s)?

 

Based on the most helpful WSO content, it's not uncommon for finance professionals to engage in side hustles even with the demanding hours of their primary jobs. Here are a couple of examples from the WSO forums:

  1. Stock Portfolio Management:

    • One user mentioned building up a stock portfolio with invested capital of around US$1 million as their side hustle.
  2. Real Estate:

    • Some users have discussed real estate as a viable side hustle, such as owning and self-managing small multifamily buildings. This can be more feasible and less time-consuming than being a full-time broker while working in another demanding finance role.
  3. T-Shirt Design Business:

    • Another user runs a t-shirt design business on the side, which clears them $2-3k a month, requiring about an hour a week to manage.

These side hustles are chosen because they can offer passive or semi-passive income, requiring less active time commitment, which is crucial when one is already working long hours in their main job. It's important to note that any side hustle should not conflict with the primary job's responsibilities and should comply with any relevant regulations or company policies.

HMRC once thought I was working two IB gigs at once (I reneged on an offer and apparently the bank didn’t tell the taxman) and sent me an angry letter demanding I pay the taxes I owed them for my second 100 hour a week job
