Part-Time, High Pay? 🤔

After years in finance, I hit my "enough" number and thought I’d coast into a cushy part-time gig. I landed a remote consulting role, using all my old skills, but only working three days a week. Sounds perfect, right? Except, I feel stuck between two worlds—never fully off the clock, but not quite part of the team either. My pay is solid (almost 60% of my old salary for half the hours), but I’m constantly juggling unclear expectations and feeling left out of key decisions. Sometimes I wonder if I should just take a low-stress job at a local shop instead. Has anyone else felt this weird limbo? How do you deal with the awkwardness of being a "corporate part-timer"? I’d love some advice from anyone who’s been here! 😅 #CareerTransition #WorkLifeBalance #PartTimeWork #JobCareer
