Both remote. Both pay "gross" with no tax deduction at the source, like an independent contractor.

I got my accountant slash tax optimization expert on standby

Haven't heard back but I don't think I got either job. I think my resume is too all over the place so I end up being a plan B for employers.

I either need to tweak my resume and remove all the non-translation stuff or go all-in with my jack-of-all-trades persona and mass apply to jobs until something good lands on my lap.

I'm leaning towards the latter approach.
 
I've been authorized by the Mrs. Boner to quit (again). Prob pulling trigger at the end of the month. They did hire someone to back me up after i made a scene about how shitty they are last fall. So it's likely they'll see that as the off ramp for the ever increasing cost ($ and headache) for Boner.

Blitttttaaayyyyyyy we're back on for schemes!!

My marketing writing/translating gig has been gradually less and less well paid over the years, to the point where it's threatening the guitar biz (which pays quite a bit less on an hourly basis). The good news is, I found a kid to take over production of the guitar stuff, and I got a full-time job as the Parts & Accessories Manager of a multi-line motorcycle dealership not far from home. Starting pay is not much of an upgrade over what I'm currently making, but the owner is open to negotiating a profit-sharing pay plan after the 3-month probation period.

Excited to be working with bikes, and I think it'll be good for everyone involved. I might even be able to grow the guitar biz by having a separate (and regular) income stream.

No no, I just mean that the whole 2nd floor is my responsibility. That's the riding gear shop and backroom, which will soon be our little warehouse for the e-commerce side of the business (I'll be launching a Shopify store to sell more gear.)

I showed up on the first day and the shop space was empty. The dealership used to be a scooter shop downtown and they had kept a whole lot of furniture from the previous location. I spent the first 3 days laying out the space and then putting out what I thought would sell best. It's been pretty successful so far - people been buying expensive helmets and jackets and shit. My boss hasn't been saying much, I think because he's testing me, but the service manager twice came upstairs to give me a fistbump: "Dude! Everyone who comes up here comes back down with something. We never had that before."

Who knew I'd kick ass at an underpaid retail sales job.
