I work in corporate tax group and have some experience in personal tax. I am free for next 4 months, what should I do? Should I just relax (4 months is a lot of time)? I can try to freelance on upwork or something like that but not sure where to start. I don’t want to Uber/door dash but don’t want to sit home and sleep all day either. Any ideas on where I can find temp work or contractual jobs? Any suggestions?

Can you provide some background on why you are free for 4 months? Sounds like you are motivated to work more and so one thought is why not go into public accounting. Guarantee you won’t have 4 months of down time. Or if you are just looking to make side cash, PwC does contractual hires for specific projects so you can consider that. Otherwise, definitely don’t feel above doing uber, door dash etc if you could use some extra money.
On top of that, I would suggest continuing professional education so you are very familiar with the new tax law. Maybe do some research on investing in the stock market if you aren’t already involved.
Lots of other things I can recommend as well but the initial understanding of why you are free is key.

Were you laid off? If you don’t have a conflict, I would def look for freelance work but I feel like there’s start costs for that (I.e buying tax software).

I also feel like uber does not actually make any money after gas, add’l insurance, and the beating you put on your car

Since you are in tax perhaps consider H&R Block or something similar? I think they have contractual hires. Call center or volunteer at animal shelter?

My observation is that it is hard for consulting partners to land the quality public or private board roles everyone naturally targets. Despite there being a significant amount of exceptional talent that could be deployed, there is a big bias against consultants. Everyone wants “operators,” but I feel every board could also benefit from one current or former consulting partner. But sadly, that’s not the way the external world looks at things...
