Do you have any way of finding out how long your company tolerates people being on the bench? And are you there awaiting clearance or for your next project to start very shortly, or for some other, less desirable reason?

There is a staffing group which coordinates that but I’ve heard that a lot of staffing happens mouth 2 mouth i.e knowing somebody from prev engagements or similar stuff

I was on the bench for 10 weeks back mid Covid. But I was very active on the practice side and working on rfp’s etc. see what you can get involved in

Don’t worry the first 4 weeks is only the warm-up

I'm so stressed and nearing my limit 😪. My design partner for several years now, loves to pretend she's the CD and markup my work. Historically I've let it slide because she has good suggestions. But lately she outright changes my copy and tells me later. I'm easygoing and they're good suggestions so I try to ignore but its getting worse and borderline disrespectful. We work exclusively together so if I rock the boat its going to get even more uncomfortable. What would you do?

Always been a fan of FIRE and reading about it has definitely helped my finances but I can’t help but wonder if the movement is more about lifestyle change than early retirement.

After you achieve FI,you basically have to maintain the lifestyle that got you there.

What if you want to go on a lavish vacation or buy that flatscreen TV? Are you supposed to do away with material goods entirely? I suppose you could keep working for discretionary $ and live off interest but then you’re not retired.
