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:
Stock Portfolio Management:
Real Estate:
T-Shirt Design Business:
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.
