Landed a contract role at Deloitte via MBO Partners for an audit senior role. MBO is making me a W-2 employee for MBO, but I am getting paid $125/hour plus overtime. Am I missing something here or am I about to be making $5K/week (or more with OT)? Anyone have any experience with MBO or doing contract work like this? Obviously way more than I'd make if I stayed at KPMG for busy season.

Has anyone ever left a role during maternity leave? What is your experience and/or drawbacks of doing this?

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills.

I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.

Any millennials here worried about their parents retirement? My parents are set financially but I’m worried about their lack of hobbies and social life.

Anyone succeed in getting their parents to an activity filled retirement?

What is something low cost I can do that will be a nice “couples thing” so we can de-stress, but also make her feel special?
