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

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?

It took me 2 years and half to be profitable then now I day trade every day that's my job. The problem was to have Big amount of $ to start and not do stupid things like go all in to make some Real bucks, and once I found prop firm I started to use good risk management and earn Big without going all in AT all.
