I’m trying to get into the cybersecurity industry, and I’ve met a few people through networking who work multiple jobs in the field, which has always made me curious about how they manage their time and what their day to day lives actually look like.

For those of you working two, three, or even more cybersecurity jobs, how many hours are you actually putting into each job, and how demanding is the workload? Are you constantly busy throughout the day, or do you have enough downtime between tasks to make working multiple jobs manageable? I’m also curious how you handle situations where meetings, deadlines, or other responsibilities overlap, and whether managing multiple positions is as stressful as it sounds or if it really depends on the roles you’re working.

I’m especially curious about your work-life balance because I can’t imagine juggling that many responsibilities without sacrificing a good amount of personal time. Do you still have time to spend with friends and family, go to the gym, enjoy your hobbies, or even just have a day to yourself without worrying about work? I’d really like to hear what a typical day looks like for those of you doing this and how you manage to have a life outside of work.
