To those that work in remote positions, do you take the freedom of it to move around to different places or stay in one spot? I recently started a new job fully remote making 81k per year with the idea of living out of my car for a bit to travel the US as I am single but the cost of living like that concerns me. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

I don’t understand. The cost of living where is concerning? If you are going to live out of your car then why are you so worried about cost of living? Also, if you are living in your car, you cannot cook and every meal is eating out. Even if you manage to only pay $50 per day (which is very conservative), you are paying $1.4k a month in meals. You would be spending more but living in a studio apartment would be 100% worth it for your own comfort and you can cook a decent meal.

How are you gonna work without a proper desk / place to store everything?

Van Life isn’t cheap. You’ll spend a lot on food, struggle to find WIF, fix your vehicle etc. Van Life channels struggle and don’t earn as much as they used to.

I finally broke down and went back on HRT last week. I have been taking gabapentin for a nerve injury which I’ve learned helps hot flashes.

He wants me to be on HRT until 51, but after that he doesn’t recommend it. I hope by that age I’ll be off the gabapentin…

Even if EY matches my salary, and promote me to Manager, I will be an EY Manager with a Deloitte SC salary, and probably won't be able to go to D in the future. What do you think? I have built up a good relationship with my Partner and SMs at EY though.
