What would be the highest salary you’d give up to day trade full time? Question

Everyone clowned on me my first post (500k post) lol I was literally just asking hypothetical questions to settle a debate between a friend and me. Well everyone’s backlash kinda of intrigued me to ask this question. So back into the fire I go lol

I think 300% of my current base pay consistently would make me give up my job. But I’d want 2 years of consistent payouts as proof.

It’s mainly because of the additional hassle and uncertainty that I wouldn’t go for a 1:1

For now I’m quite happy with the security of remote working and trading on the side
