What about a LOA?

like

Please take a leave of absence!

like

Take LOA! The stress of not having a job will also start to take a toll after a couple of months (and it typically takes at least 3 months to get offers, for me it took 6 months end to end to find something I liked)

Yeah. I would try to take a leave of absence. You can do an unpaid one (but if you can find a way to do STD for mental health - that is an option) but still remain on your employer plan, which will save you ~$600-1500 a month depending on what health plan you are in. I think you can do up to 6 months (but check with HR).


Deloitte will just bill you via WageWorks for your regular premium amount (which will be MUCH cheaper than cobra or any aca plan).


I did this a couple years back.

I know the major considerations of insurance/financial stability/ the recession but also I barely have time to work on myself physically/mentally/professionally with the current position I have. I’m blessed to be in a decent place financially and I can jump onto an ACA health plan if need be (would love to hear if anyone and experienced that) but I just really need a reset and I feel overwhelmed

Hello my Fishies!
English is my second language. I learned it 8 years ago and I have been living in the US for the past 5 years. I communicate very well, but sometimes I feel so bad when I don’t, or when I forget an English word in the middle of a design presentation 😣… Sometimes I wake up and my English is not good that day, for realz.
Any other designers who struggle with this? What do you do to feel or do better besides working on your presentation skills?
