Hi. This is for a friend.
"I have a gap year of 1.5 years. I used to work in TCS but had to leave the job to look after my father's business after he fell ill. My career has not been consistent. I worked in sales for the initial 2 years of my career after which I joined Testing.
Right now, I am in need of a job. How do I justify my graph?"

I have 10 YOE and I am in Seattle..

What are some part time opportunities for CPAs? I enjoy the field as a whole but am already burnt out after just 1 year and want to use my CPA in a more sustainable way. I’d be interested in either working less than 40 hrs a week or working only part of the year, so I have time to pursue other interests/have a “fun” job. (Only one YOE in a niche type of audit so I’m open to almost anything)
