Actually it is main thing that I want. It is up to 25%. Otherwise job is fully remote. Gives me a break out of the house. It is not fully weeks. Think Like once a month for 2-3 days. Places like Florida. They are in nice locations. The company is not in the DC area. It is down South.

If you get canned from the new role, you’ll be a more attractive candidate for other roles given the experience and contacts you’ll make with all those clients.

Or I was thinking could call it a day even earlier. No job is guaranteed. Some are more secure but that is best you get.

Don’t you have any hobbies outside of the house? Spend a weekend each month with your kids/grandkids?

If the only thing you have going for yourself in life is work, then sure take the promotion at 64 but surely you’ve got more to live for than this.

Find something else to do to stay busy. A top death bed regret is working too hard and into advanced age. While some have no
Choice but to work past 75, you do.

It’s sad that some of you don’t understand that work can truly be enjoyable.

I'm surprised it took me this long to figure out this was J1 guy, but rereading the syntax of the OP it's totally obvious. This one was not even that trollish. Well done.
