Lately I have been feeling like maybe audit is not something I want to be do anymore. Not sure if I should just push through it which may come with mental issues, or just free the burden. This has been frustrating! Thoughts on this?

Begin with an end in mind. Where do you wanna be 5,10,20 years from now? Or if you are in your deathbed, what are the things you should have done so that you have no regrets living your life? Mental health is definitely one of the priorities. If you have a career or passion outside audit that you want to pursue, do it! But if you have a family to support or debts, you just have to consider these in your decision making. You need to discern the pros and cons of the different career paths, and choose the one which you think you have nothing to regret. At the end of the day, you choose the path for your own happiness or purpose.

I am fairly green in academia (< 1 year) and I want to shift to an area of research which I always wanted to do but never could as a Ph.D. student (because of conflict of interest).
The issue I am facing is that due to lack of my documented research experience in this field (read, lack of papers) I am finding it very hard to land any grant and reviewers keep saying "The PI hasn't demonstrated any experience in said research" blah blah.
Any advice on how to overcome this?

Tax question - I make about $200k and get half of my income from a W-2 and another half from being an independent contractor. Because, I’m subject to pay both FICA and SECA taxes. Do my social security taxes get capped on amounts paid above the ~$140k threshold across both my W-2 and 1099 incomes or am I out of luck and have to pay more than that since only about 100k of my income is FICA and the other 100K is SECA (which is subject to ~12% overall including the ER portion)?
