If you’re lucky. Sometimes it’s longer. Always have a buffer to smooth out these delays.

What do you mean by a buffer?

Give or take.. yea. It’s really not an issue if you budget properly, and price yourself appropriately.

If you’re finding it hard to wait for a check consider double booking yourself for a few days, agree to transfer IP once payment is complete, charge more, save more.. budget.. negotiate different terms.

Interview tomorrow for a tax associate opening at RSM. Been working in a mid-size city (different firm) that is about 70 minutes from this new home office in a larger metro. How flexible is WFH or dual model going forward post Covid? Am interested in this position and going to tax, but not be able to relocate for family reasons. Don’t want to drive 700 miles per week M-F. What will dual model be like going forward? 1-2 times week, 4-5 month? Seems like tax was more flexible than audit pre-Covid

I was laid off, and I am now trying to pick up freelance while also on unemployment. Last week I made roughly double my UE benefits from a freelance job.

Does anyone know if this will disqualify me from future UE benefits, even though it was a temporary, one-time job?
