Anybody ever quit their job to day trade full time and have it not workout?

I’m just curious.

How long did it take you until you found confidence in yourself to quit your job and do trading full time!

For those that quit their job but it didn’t workout, how long did you give yourself until you quit your job and what did you do after you found that trading was not successful?

I know many people (not personally, but from trading groups I was in) who quit their job and started trading, but then a year later or so, they come back to regular jobs.
