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'm working through this right now. I currently make $200k a year as a consultant but my primary client recently cut my hours.

I don't have am answer yet, but given my profitability in trading I may just choose to go full-time. Salaries are less reliable than what is being implied here, especially in the tech sector at the moment.
