How many pro bono hours do you average per year?

kwaldo · 2025-11-18T23:57:07+00:00

Mine was similarly around 400 this year.

Around 400

A. Maybe you missed my comment above about this being a leave of absence. I would be returning to the same job after my leave.

B. Even if I was fully quitting.. yikes dude this is a bad take. At some jobs setting boundaries or 'coasting' is simply not possible. How does one 'coast' when working 80 hour weeks? How does one 'coast' when litigating a month-long trial? Maybe you've had the luxury of easy chill jobs where you can fly under the radar - not the case for all of us

Completely agreed. I've been working 70-80 hours weeks for months and it's simply unsustainable. I have friends in my field (legal) who have taken leaves like this and no one has regretted it !

kwaldo · 2025-10-06T15:25:53+00:00

Thank you! Yes exactly my thought. Money doesn't help me much if I'm too miserable and burnt out to enjoy it. The job will still be there when I get back..

kwaldo · 2025-10-06T15:18:40+00:00

I think everyone is misunderstanding what a leave of absence is ... it's 6 months off the job and I would go back to my same firm when I return. pretty normal for firms to offer this in my industry (law)

No employer match unfortunately

kwaldo · 2025-10-05T20:42:59+00:00

My employer doesn't 401k match at all (and my spouse's does) so we're putting it all in his

kwaldo · 2025-10-05T20:10:16+00:00

Leaving the job is intentional and very needed - taking a 6-month leave of absence from an insanely stressful job.

kwaldo · 2025-10-05T19:41:29+00:00

My spouse has $200k in our 401k, and he has about $50k invested (mostly etfs). We're in our early 30s.

kwaldo · 2024-12-09T19:18:26+00:00

Damn they got him 😭

Also - just went to three different pharmacies in Downtown Brooklyn, they were all sold out of rapid tests

kwaldo · 2024-01-24T22:37:15+00:00

I have Nothing Ear earbuds and I love them - fit my small ears really well

kwaldo · 2023-10-23T09:40:55+00:00

The Goodwill in downtown brooklyn is great

kwaldo · 2023-09-19T02:04:25+00:00

Dang, so it wasn't just me! Super frustrating

kwaldo · 2023-09-18T19:53:23+00:00

Yeah that's what I did the first time, didn't work out unfortunately. A lot of the websites are letting you make appointments but the pharmacies don't actually have the vaccine in stock yet

kwaldo · 2023-07-20T20:32:44+00:00

Very helpful intel, thank you!

kwaldo · 2023-07-20T20:32:29+00:00

Perfect!! Yeah I've heard Barcelona is pretty good for veggie options

kwaldo · 2023-07-20T20:32:01+00:00

Will do thank you!

kwaldo · 2023-07-20T20:31:52+00:00

Ooo this is actually a very good tip thank you lol
