Not a question or a vent. But just happy…

That I have finished my undergrad degree at the age of 41 and it’s been 23 years since I started.

You don’t need a college education to be successful. Hard work pays off.

Congrats! I just went back myself at 43, mainly because I want to accomplish this step in my life. And you’re right, you don’t need a education to be successful if you’re hard worker! Kudos to you🎉

Hi Fishes,

I am thinking to diverting my career towards freelancing in accounting.
For that I have to resign from my current job in Pwc. I am thinking of starting a job as accountant and work as a freelancer as part-time.

Any thoughts or advice?

Considering taking a position with a small-cap in the US trying to build their legal department. The title is standard “counsel” although the work would be with the senior leadership team and reporting to the GC in Europe. How reasonable is it to ask for a bump in title - Senior counsel or Head of Legal, US? If it matters, I am a 6th year and have been told that I will be expected to hire a junior or paralegal as we build up.
