Oscar Silver offered in CA and really happy with it. Please don’t get super cheap insurance. I’m super healthy and unexpectedly had to get surgery the previous year when I had a crap insurance and had to pay $$$$$ OOP.

If you don’t mind me asking -
What do you pay OOP per month?

I overpay for Oscar Health. I'm in NYC and pay over $600/month for it.

NYC. Freelancers union. I have emblem health. I am happy.

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
