If you’re booked full time but on an hourly rate, what do you charge if it’s slow? Do you still charge the full day for being around and available, even though we’re all remote now?

Yes because you cant be booked anywhere else. You cant control how busy it is. And if something comes up in the next half hour, theyll want you waiting on pins and needles to work on it. So youre booked, and should get paid.

Thanks, that’s what I thought. Just feels different somehow not being on site.

You should get paid for all “hurry up and wait” scenarios. All the answers above!

Yes to both. Always.

Book for 40 hrs. They want you “available” right?

Yes. If you’re on call, you can’t take on any other projects so they have to pay you for that time.

Maxed out Roth IRA contributions when I wasn't eligible for 2021 (got a salary bump mid year). Do I need to recharacterize? It's a very small account that's been open for only two years. That's the only IRA account I own. Do I need to open a traditional IRA and roll over 6k + realized gains into that account and keep the Roth IRA. So confused how this works and got conflicting information from Merrill.

This is super weird but I feel like I can’t relate easily to people.

I have some friends I’ve met at each stage of my life, but it’s been temporary. I feel like I’m always going in a different direction than others. It makes it difficult to have a stable life and close friends..
