When to give my 2 weeks? Have a job offer in hand with starting day as 06/09, however have a vacation from 05/24-06/03. Thinking of giving the notice on 05/13 with the last day is 06/08, which will make 10 work days from 05/13 minus the vacation days. Or just give the notice on 05/07 with last day being 05/21? Which is better? Thanks

The latter. Give yourself a longer break in between jobs

If you can afford it, I highly advocate taking a lengthy break. Not sure if you have any burnout but man did taking a month off allow me to show up day 1 ready to grind!

I would push start daye if you can but keep insurance in mind. Your current ins will go thru the rest of the month after your end date. And the start of ur ins wont start until the 1st of the next month after ur start date.

Curious if anyone is taking time off this month to see family. I'm crazy busy and it'd honestly be easier for me to wait until Christmas, but my mothers almost insisting I fly home this month. AITA for wanting to work through November and only see my family at Christmas?

I’ve been thinking recently that I want to go to Asia. I spent some time in Hong Kong and really enjoyed it there.

Any advice from Ex pats would be lovely.

How do I ask for more vacation time? I’ve been at this firm 2 years and only get 10 vacation days a year. Days get increased in year 4 to 15 where they max out. I’m beyond burnt out because I don’t have the time I need to fully rehab my mental health. Any suggestions?

Hey all I have an opportunity to buy a vacation home as a private sale from my parents (they are buying a new house in that area and need to sell the old one), it is waterfront property in NH 10 minutes from Mt Sunappee.

Would it make more sense to rent out the property through a rental company that included insurance and cleaning or to put it on airbnb?
