Having free time enables you to either upskill yourself and to move to a more lucrative position later, or perhaps even work on side projects.
Some people freelance and both get practical skills and an additional source of income (even though a somewhat inconsistent one), whereas others enjoy trying to create their own SaaS solutions which could serve as a passive income, in the age of widespread web APIs and things like Stripe making payment processing easier.
Heck, some people actually enjoy doing things that are completely unrelated to the ICT sector, so woodworking/carpentry/farming and so on could also be both nice sources of income, as well as a way of getting some fresh air and/or exercise in an otherwise sedentary lifestyle.
Of course, even if some of the free time is spent not generating income but instead doing stuff like working out, that could also both improve one's quality of life and also cut down medical expenses, as well as indirectly make them more productive at their regular work due to better alertness, which may or may not further contribute to how effectively they can use those hours that they have.
