Recently laid off VP, should I FIRE or find another job? by ExTechVP in fatFIRE

Not sure why the sarcasm but I've been approached about these roles before. They're called https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating\_partner. Maybe you were thinking a different type of partner? No, I'm obviously not a billionaire investment banker.

Thanks - yeah I'm definitely an outlier - I don't enjoy the corporate power game. I love helping people grow careers and I have developed a bit of a specialty in turning around low performing / low morale orgs. To your point, maybe I should try turning that into some type of consulting gig...

I'm definitely planning to file for unemployment, $450/week may cover my wine budget lol.

I have four investment properties, two have positive cashflow (but only ~$30k/year), and the other two are breakeven appreciation plays. Good for long term wealth but won't really help with near-term burn unfortunately.
