JollyJet+FollowPart-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 #JobCareer10Share
Mark Smith+FollowEasing Into Retirement: My Journey With Part-Time WorkFinding the right way to transition into retirement can be daunting, but for me, shifting to part-time work at my current job has been a game changer. At 59, I wasn’t quite ready to leave behind the daily rhythm and the camaraderie I’d built over the years. Working fewer hours has given me space to explore new hobbies and spend more time with family, while still staying connected to my professional community. It’s allowed me to gradually adjust to the idea of retirement, rather than making an abrupt change. If you’re considering this path, I recommend having open conversations with your employer, planning your finances carefully, and being honest with yourself about your needs.
