I've been grinding away in public accounting for years, and honestly, the money's great. But it's come at a cost to my soul. Lately, I've been exploring opportunities in the non-profit sector. I'm drawn to the idea of using my financial skills to make a difference in the world, but the salaries are a reality check.

Right now, I'm making $95K a year, and the non-profit roles I'm looking at are more in the $60K-$70K range. I know that money isn't everything, but it's a big adjustment. I'm trying to figure out if the trade-off is worth it.

Has anyone else made a similar jump from a high-paying accounting job to a lower-paying, but more fulfilling role? How did you rationalize the pay cut? What factors did you consider? Were you ultimately happy with your decision?

So, I've tried a few different positions and still hate practicing law BUT I was approached about a contract role that won't have billable hour requirements and I won't be steeped (I think) into the law firm's toxicity, so I'm wondering if it could be the closest thing to a 9 to 5 for law. Pay is hourly which seems weird, but I would have time to devote to hobbies and life generally. Has anyone been tempted by or accepted these contract opportunities, and what's your hot take?

Okay finance gurus, I have an idea and interested in your thoughts. Might be a bad one so be gentle 🙂. I have a 2 yr old and another on the way. Need to start planning for college.

But is this a good idea or too risky?

Hi everyone, I’ve been trying to land my first product design role and I can’t seem to get my foot in the door. I’ve asked mentors from ADPlist to review my LinkedIn and resume as well as my portfolio and I haven’t had any luck. I graduated from uni in 2020, was bedridden for a whole year which led me to fall behind and I’m embarrassed that I can’t seem to get a job after months of actively trying - I desperately need help as I’m on a Visa that requires me to be employed.
