Creating this as a career-driven (previously job obsessed person) who is trying to re-evaluate her career after being diagnosed with a chronic illness that limits the hours I can work. Looking for experiences from others in working and finding flexible work. What kind of jobs have been a great fit? How do you find a company willing to cater to your needs?

Same here. Trying to stay within the #Tech fields despite no longer being able to be active more than 16 hours per week. I just wanted to keep my mind sharp instead of just collecting shopping carts for a department store. Not looking to advance up the ladder or get amazing benefits. In addition, now having to get over this current additional hurdle of gastrointestinal issues which has completely sidelined me from my #jobsearch but hopefully only temporarily.

I'm able to work as a job coach and bring my experience with employment to others who have similar barriers to employment. If you are in the US, companies like Vocational Rehabilitation can help find jobs in a field you are interested in, or similar ones, that can accommodate for your needs.

Might be the wrong bowl but finding it extremely difficult to focus on work post busy season. It’s been 2 weeks since we filed and I’m still taking lots of naps and breaks (I’m talking like 3-4 cumulative hrs worked during the day). Idk if I’m taking longer to recover from busy season bc I’m getting old or if I’m over public accounting (but then where do i go). Tried to schedule time with a therapist but everyone has a months-long waitlist so next step might be trying to find a life/career coach

I started full time at an agency mid pandemic so have never once worked in the office. I find myself working 50+ hour weeks even from home. Everyone who says "I can't wait to be back at the office" - are they really serious? To tack on commute time and public transit anxiety, wake up at the crack of dawn. Will working from the office somehow decrease the work load and increase productivity? Genuinely curious who wants to go back and why.

Hello! Looking at an opportunity with established startup in UK that's just been acquired by a large co. I'm US based and my salary is around $250k (NYC) -I've been asked my expectation without the startup giving me a range to work from (though I've asked). I'm not sure how to reply to them because I have a feeling that my requirement may be out of their range and while I don't want to undercut my value, I also don't want to be cut out of the process because it's an interesting co. Any advice?
