Tips to last 6-8 months?
I am working J1 (about 6 months) fully remote with in person travel across country needed about 1 time every 6 months for 3 days at a time. I am starting j2 at the end of January and it is hybrid (2 full days in office). I am a senior level leader at both. I was planning to quit j1 but have recently acquired about 70K of debt due to a family emergency. If I OE I can pay it off in about 6 months. If I can pull of a year I can be debt free and have a little savings. I’m mostly concerned about those two in office days. Do you think it’s feasible? For context I have about 10 hours of meetings a week at j1 though they are remote. I think I can block off the in person days for the most part but there could be some occasional instances where it’s not possible.
My goal is not to last indefinitely, just 6 months!
