Looks like I may go on leave because of chronic depression and anxiety. I am concerned on the impression when I return. I don’t intend on taking a long leave but I need to get my health in order. Cont

You might want to stop worrying about the impression of people who most likely don’t know your struggle. Put you self first and focus on the now

You are more important than any audit or tax filing or anything else we all do here. Take care of yourself. My hope and aspiration is that those around you would rally to support you. We need to be more open about these challenges - they are real. Hang in there whatever you choose.

This. I have been on leave and my team has been nothing but supportive.

I did this and got axed in the first round of layoffs (2007/8, Deloitte). I'll never know for sure if that's why... But part of me will always suspect. It just really depends on the firm, your immediate team/bosses, and their perceptions/prejudices. But I've been much happier and less depressed at KPMG, so I figure things happened for a reason. 🤷‍♀️

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?

Do you stay in a peoject you think you'll learn despite the demand of the job and abundance of your other current projects?

FYI have a current health issue that limits my working hours so am not sure how this'll work but I was thinking of learning from this experience.

Question about what to do next. I’ve maxed out everything—401k, HSA, IRA, backdoor Roth 401k. My bills are all paid. I’ll probably make about 16,500 more this year to do stuff with (ie money that isn’t going to taxes or insurance or anything). What should I do with it? Crypto? Set it on fire? Get a hair transplant?
