That's a tough question to answer. "Personal Chef" can mean so many things. So, a big upside is that you'll work for yourself. That means you can cater the job to your lifestyle.

I think the answers to your previous downsides question (https://www.careervillage.org/questions/612715/what-are-some-downsides-of-being-a-personal-chef) have a lot of information. Cooking for people is hard work. But, if those people are appreciative and know what they want, it can be incredibly satisfying.

Find some personal chefs in your area and talk to them. You'll see how varied that job can be--the different number of clients, where they produce the food, whether it is served fresh or to be finished by the client, etc. Offer to lend that personal chef a hand for the day, or even just a few hours and you'll quickly get a bead on how intriguing it might be for you to pursue.
