And forsake my brothers & sisters ? NEVER :)

That I could do during work. MLE I can't

Mayybe if you spent less time in that thread, and instead used that time to find a job in which you wouldn't have time to be in that thread, you'd be able to make more money AND go to MLE :P

No. He won't. Just not feasible, sorry to say.

Better enjoy the first half of 2016, mon frere.
Really no vacation whatsoever?

Technically I'll have vacation days. Using them isn't so simple. Between Yom Tov and short Fridays during the winter, it'll be hard to hit my billables if I take a lot of vacation.

Unique situation. And he's more senior.

True, the first years are murder.

Not that simple. Money ain't the issue here.

Fair point, though, to be frank, those days are over.

Yep. The holidays will be killers. Must. hit. billable. goals.

Trust me, if you have that much time to spend on DDF while at work, you can be using your time more wisely.

Back and forth we go. Everyone's life is complicated, but this rule is true the world over.

If one can spend 6 hours a day on DDF while working (barring of course that DDF is your job), he or she is not being as effective as possible. Take it to the bank.

Rather not be reminded of what a missed opportunity it was to not be in the game back when I was in college and literally had zero commitments   :-\

+1 to that. Still, I won't cry. I am still happy I got into it at all and will still benefit from it. Even if I could have done way more back then.
