Hi guys! 2 questions if anyone knows:
1. Can I have my home address be in a different state while my home office is in a different state? My roommates and I are thinking of breaking our lease due to COVID-19 since we’re all quarantining out of state. I’m currently on OPT and my H1B will kick in in October. I am allowed to work from another state on OPT but I’m concerned on whether updating my home address to a different state will raise concerns.
2. Can this out of state address be my home...

NDAs for Nannies? I was wondering how everyone who is doing some work from home during covid handles in-house caregivers?

I worked abroad as an intern during the summer of 06 in an African country. My assignment was to work with the local Government on corporate partnerships to help with water conservation. I didn't see the final outcome by the time I left. I later found out my efforts were reworked which led to a private company drying up most of the local community wells and loading stores with bottled water at a cost. I still think about it til this day, especially the friends I met who lived in the villages.

Im a fourth year partner. The clients are good, workload is manageable, have a great team and a great boss. But I'm just not motivated to go and kill it anymore. It just feels more of the same thing. Also, I keep having a feeling that I could be doing a lot more if I were in a startup or in a different corporate role. The only reason that stops me from doing any of this is that money here is good and I worked really hard to get here. Any advice?
