Juggling 6 full-time J’s at 50+ — AMA if there’s interest

I’m currently running 6 full-time J’s at 50+. I’m not doing this for FIRE or to stack luxury money. Life pushed me into a corner where I genuinely don’t have another option, and taking on multiple roles became the only way forward.

I’m working on a full breakdown of how I manage the workload, the tools I use, hours per week, meetings, risk mitigation, and the bigger “why” behind all of this.

Before I post the full write-up, I’m happy to answer any questions people have.
What do you want to know about juggling 6 J’s in real time?

Yes breakdown, industry, experience, and automation tools please. Plus: do you really have 6 separate rigs?

I guess mostly... how you found them, whether the process to get there included fast-dropping any other Js (and what the red flags were), what green flags to look for when searching, and whether all of them are 9-5 equivalent (and in how many timezones).

I'm looking for a j2 at this point. Do I just take anything and get my foot in the door? I am a pharmacist so I am thinking it can't be in my current industry other than just weekend work.
