I’m anticipating a job offer to go in house at the end of next week (12th). I’d like to give two weeks notice, but will be on vacation in Europe around Thanksgiving week (19th-26th). Would it be frowned upon to give notice on the 12th, and be on vacation for Thanksgiving week, but say I’m willing to stay until December 1 to help close matters out? (I don’t care if they say I don’t need to stay the full two weeks - actually that would be amazing, but I don’t want to burn bridges. Contd…

I did this years ago. Had a booked vacation and gave notice week before vacation. Their options were I leave before vacation or I go on vacation and they get two weeks of me helping to close out. They chose the latter.

Hi everyone! How did you discuss with your boss all the time you’d be needing to take off for appointments? My boss absolutely hates when people take time off. Company policy is at least a week ahead of time - she says she needs at least 2. Also when someone requests off a couple days in March then a couple days in April for example, she gets annoyed and says they are requesting too much time (even if they have plenty of PTO available).

Always been a fan of FIRE and reading about it has definitely helped my finances but I can’t help but wonder if the movement is more about lifestyle change than early retirement.

After you achieve FI,you basically have to maintain the lifestyle that got you there.

What if you want to go on a lavish vacation or buy that flatscreen TV? Are you supposed to do away with material goods entirely? I suppose you could keep working for discretionary $ and live off interest but then you’re not retired.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but I have a few former classmates and colleagues sweating over lateral interviews. Take a deep breath and relax.

First, doing these interviews does not define you as a person.

Second, take it one day at a time; if they are moving forward, they see something in you.

Third, remember that the people interviewing you are human beings. Connect with them, be personable.
