Since even before I started moonlighting, I've known girls who carry on day jobs and choose to provide after hours for any number of personal reasons. Obviously, I also have friends who are full time.  

Ladies who lead dual lives are very sexy.  The intrigue of possibly meeting in the civie world vs the allure of the forbidden ventures.  Mysteries have always been the attraction of the adventures and many of us men love the flip sides of the gentler sex.  To master you twice, that would be nice.

Both of my ATFs have day jobs....having a legitimate vocation makes them more relatable imho

when they say they have a second career, I never know whether to believe it or not.  

claimed to have another career.  I often wondered how they kept their two personas separate and how they managed to keep their secret life from coming out.  In most cases they managed both very well.  I know for a fact that one highly educated lady is in this biz just for the thrill of getting paid to have sex.  More power to her and to all the other ladies who maintain 2 lives.  Just stay safe and be well.

I had several wonderful times with a lady who was selling real estate part time, and used that as her cover story for going out to meet dates.  While I never saw her business cards, she certainly understood a lot about the real-estate business.  She did her business up in Lancaster County, PA, so I never had a chance to encounter her in that capacity, but it was tempting to think about her "showing me a house", so to speak.  She enjoyed her dates, and it wasn't strictly business for her, I don't believe.

Yes more sexy if she has a 9-to-5 life and is motivated in a "straight" career. As you say, a matter of personal preference, but it's an important "selection criteria" for me.

saw a top rated DC provider numerous times and our conversation included talking about her day job. What we did for kids showed me she was an overall awesome person that loved sex.  I am sure the money from providing allowed her to fulfill her career goals which was a low paying job.  Good for her and any provider that has a passion outside of the hotel room.

I love it when a woman has an outside career.  One pitfall of that is I have fairly in depth knowledge in a surprisingly wide array of industries and I'm naturally pretty curious, so when I meet someone who works in an area I've researched it's an awesome bond and makes for a much easier first meeting, but if it's just a story it's a turn off and I rarely see them again.  

I think it's very sensual to know a provider has another side. In fact, for me it is somewhat preferred as it suggests balance and priorities. Because of her career, my ATF is available for limited hours but this keeps her low, low volume and that much more special for me when we plan long afternoon trysts. Great question, Sara!

...and I'm always super frustrated because I'm not able to commit as much time as I would like to being a provider. Only being available on the evenings and weekends sucks sometimes. I genuinely love this work. I love sitting at my desk during the day in anticipation of a date later on in the evening, wearing lingerie underneath my business casual attire

Some of the sexiest providers that I've ever met in the business led double lives -- by day they worked everyday jobs like most hobbyists and by night they released their pent up inner desires through their secret "alter ego."  

For me, it's very sexy, but it really is just personal preference.  There is nothing undesirable about a companion who is fully devoted to her profession.

I am a pianist and a piano teacher. Guys seem to find this fascinating and always have a comment such as "I need private piano lessons from you!" or "if I had a teacher like you when I was young, I would have practiced piano more!" LOL

...it would be very sexy.  Otherwise, I seldom inquire about a provider's life outside of the hobby, so I suppose it wouldn't matter

seen a provider who I later ran into in the real world and wow what fun -- we were both professional and no knew the wiser

Apparently sexy is the general consensus...For those who haven't assumed thus far: yes, I have another career

Right there with you Elle although I'm partial to a dress with nothing underneath at all!
