I was laid off from my job in April where I was making $98k before taxes. Since then, I've been collecting the maximum unemployment benefit of $585 per week. I also do some freelance events, which sometimes affects my benefits when I earn from them. Recently, I received a part-time job offer at $30 per hour for about 20 hours a week. I'm feeling conflicted about whether to accept it. While it's not even half of what I was making before, I know it might disqualify me from unemployment benefits. I want the job because it has the potential to become full-time, but I'm worried about my financial situation if I take it. I'm looking for advice on how to navigate this decision.
