Anyone go down to part time to take care of family (children, elderly, whatever) with plans to go back to full time in some years? I got my CPA with hopes of being able to enter and reenter the workforce.

So i think it depends (but u will never know til u try). I was told the same thing, but my partners and managers were great about it. But you also need to advocate and set boundaries yourself (which should be easier bc for ex I needed to pick up my kids, do dinner, baths etc) so i am offline by 5/6. I think if you advocate for yourself and to ur teams ur plan, u can make it work, and if the plan doesn't work, adjust, and try again. It's deff doable. It's just about fining the right balance and also being okay that your career may just slow a little. Simply for the fact you're not on as many projects and learning as fast as someone who is full-time and seeing /doing more than you. But for me, the time with my family is worth that.

I have a business idea in the VR/AR space utilizing AI. However, I lack skill sets to evaluate viability or to create an MVP. Neither do I have a network to tap into.

My plan is taking classes to deepen my knowledge while joining and actively participating in communities to find collaborators.

Does this approach make sense or do you recommend other approaches? If it makes sense, do you have any recommendations for classes or communities?

Look forward to hearing your experiences and wisdom!

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer. Previously interned there & left because my supervisor did not have any growth opportunities planned out for me; this was in spite of my stellar performance, as reflected in my 90 day review. She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?

What are your strategies for completing work efficiently? How do you figure out how long projects should take? A consistent piece of feedback on my yearly reviews has been that I over-bill & spend too much time on assignments. It’s something I actively work on, but I still have no concrete sense of how long I should spend on basic tasks (e.g., drafting a motion to dismiss). My firm is right to expect that I manage my time better as a mid-level associate. WFH has made my time management worse.
