I'm a physical therapist living in a rural area, and while I love the slower pace, the lower salary is starting to wear on me. I'm seriously considering relocating to a larger city for better pay, but I'm worried the higher cost of living will eat up all the extra income. I'd definitely be making the 20% recommended here/ Has anyone else made this kind of move? Did it pay off financially? Were there any unexpected downsides to adjusting to a more expensive, urban lifestyle?

After years in the classroom, I recently transitioned from teaching nursing to working as a clinical educator for a pharmaceutical company. It's been a whirlwind of learning new skills, like understanding clinical trials and mastering the ins and outs of different drug therapies. Anyone else made a similar jump from academia to industry? I'm curious about your biggest challenges – was it the corporate culture, the change in pace, or something else entirely?

Initially, I was enthusiastic about joining Abbvie in Branchburg NJ, but my excitement quickly faded as I observed the unprofessional environment. Supervisors frequently exhibit inappropriate behavior toward employees and lack professionalism. The training provided is either nonexistent or inadequate. Furthermore, if you do not fit a specific profile… Success within the company seems to be more about how much you flatter your supervisor rather than actual job performance.
