Advice for finding sponsor/mentorship: just switched to an expert position in pharma research. The pay is not better but I‘m happier. As Bayer is going through rough changes I‘m trying to figure out my sphere and some seniors with no pers. resp. think I could fit in a lot of teams and need more exposure. How would you go about finding a sponsor? Thanks and will pay it forward

To find your sphere I’d first understand your company’s org structure then understand which parts of the business are growing and their pain points (sometimes you can look at job ads to see where the gaps are)

Then see if you can identify where your skills overlap with the high demand needs. Then just hold a 30min 1:1 with the relevant stakeholders and introduce yourself.. like say hi I’m new and want to introduce myself and learn more about what’s going on in your team.

Seeking feedback on GAP insurance. I had a family member who purchased a car in June or July. They were in an accident last week and it sounds like the car will be declared a total loss. Never dealt with this before, so wanted to ask if anyone has ever had an instance where the insurance didn't cover the outstanding balance of the loan and the insured then owed money? Car was $35k, $7k down, finance $28k. Gap insurance is through lender, not auto insurer.
