I have and it has been life changing. Here's the thing about a 2nd job. It isnt 2x better than a first job. Its about ~5x better by my calculation because it is 100% savings. Heres the math. I make 10k a month at job 1. After taxes 7k. I spend 2k on rent, 1k on food, 1k on insurance and other recurring and 1k on fun. That means im saving 2k / month from job 1. Now i get job 2. Im now making 20k / month, 14 k after taxes. But my expenses are still exactly the same. My savings have now gone from 2k / month to 9k / month. So im really making almost 5 equivalent years of savings every year. At that rate, if you could keep it up for a decade, youd essentially account for a whole career.
