Are there any lower cost of living areas that have a lot of pharma strategy jobs? Seems like RDU triangle is mostly manufacturing. Tampa may be up and coming?

Maybe not super LCOL but there is a lot of affordable areas in south/lower central NJ near major pharma companies.

bucks county PA

Chicagoland? Companies struggling to fill low paid roles there.

Genuinely curious, what’s in Tampa?

They allow it on a case by case basis if you’re a top performer that they don’t want to lose. You probably would have to be in NYC at least 2-3 years before it could even start to become an option. Not many people do it bc not many people would want to.

Northern Chicago suburbs is probably lower cost than West coast? And I know it’s lower than most areas of NJ I’ve lived and worked in both. But not by much. Good jobs tend to be in high COL areas.

I accepted a 95k systems engineer role in VA with KBR and is currently going thru a clearance.(MAY START DATE)
Northrop offers me 92k w/ 3k sign on which is 30 min from home in MD for an associate systems role. They also want to give me a clearance but it will start as an interim so I can work sooner than may. MY DILEMMA: Kbr states that they know I need money now so I can accept an offer with Northrop to see if I like it until may.BUT can I have 2 security clearances running at the same time?

Hello All,

Folks, I've recently moved to the U.S. and healthcare here is a maze, even if I have health coverage through the job. I've been wanting to see a therapist and it feels like it is quite expensive to see one. I'm on a HDP PPO plan and essentially I was told I pay $250 a session till I spend ~$7000, and then insurance copay kicks in. Seriously at a loss if I'm missing something or if folks spend the same on seeing a therapist. I'm curious as to how a lot of folks are able to afford the price tag.

Just got offered a job at a small biotech in London (UK). ~£45k plus bonus but only 1YR FTC and no equity.

Pretty sure it's a discovery role too.

I just finished my PhD at a very good uni with 3 years technician experience before that. BSc and MSc also at very good unis with good grades.

I think this offer is well below par, but curious to hear what you guys think/if you have any comparisons?

Thanks in advance :)
