Yep very much so. Even worse if you left B4 audit for MM FDD - regret my decision now but ideally if the job market picks up it may be easier to exit soon.

Ebbs and flows a bit like FDD. Breadth of work is wider meaning work streams such as commercial, legal, and environmental also come into play for me. I definitely have more autonomy. When not in “deal mode” I’m in “BD and pipeline development mode” which allowed me to flex my sales muscle a bit.

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?

I got Botox (forehead) for the first time this weekend. It’s starting to kick in and I really don’t like how my forehead feels so tight when I try to use my brow muscles, it’s a weird sensation. Does this feeling go away? Or do you get used to it? It’s not painful just strange.
