Just wait. 5th choice will be there. Let them know you have offers to rush them

Don’t let the grass grow under their feet. Do something to force their hand, like say “I have a great offer for $xxx, starting x/x/20, but I like your company more. I would like to see what we can to to have me join your company."

Basically, I can apply for a job that is my 5th choice. They would probably hire me quickly, but I'm worried about m missing out on choice 1 and 2.

Of course keep applying if you want out. Don't apply to a job you wouldn't take though... Waste of time. You can't assume any job offers even if companies are interested. Once you have another offer in hand, you can use that as leverage to speed up process at jobs you want

I want to leave so much, I think I might be running away from my job rather than running to a job. Not sure if I can help myself taking anything

like

Yes. If 5th choice I'm assuming you won't hate it. As such, apply to it, get offer, and discuss with choices 1 and 2 (ie I have another offer that needs a response by Feb 1, so please give me a response by then... Say it politely though!)

I'm doing everything in my power to not quit without another job lined up, and every interview falls through. I'm overwhelmed by my clients, I've had enough corporate koolaid for a lifetime, I could not care less about what I do, and I've started exhibiting destructive behaviors at work but keep getting told I'm doing great.

If I'm going to be stuck here, clearly my attitude is the main problem. How have you learned to find joy in your job? What makes you feel like you matter here? Why stay?

Both of these questions come up almost on a daily basis, we should have a centralized thread to help each other out. :)

The skills & academic stamina of students in adv. classes are the lowest my colleagues and I have ever seen across ALL subjects. Students also seem not to care about the quality of their work, goal setting, & improvement like they did pre-C-19. Being back in person for a year has not erased the learning losses; in fact, this group is worse off than last year’s classes. Do you see this trend in your advanced programs? I wonder if it’s a district curriculum & philosophy issue or more widespread.

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)?
