OP sorry, but if you can't simply say no and move on you're boned. I'm a patient, a user, activist, and I teach weed school on the weekends. There are no labor protections for patients in any state in which I'm aware, especially if your client has operations in multiple / non-MMJ states. I'd recommend laying low unless you are ready to fight the good fight. If you need help my burner is fishbowl420burner@gmail.com (seriously).

Then get a home test, they are available pretty much everywhere and pretty accurate. See if you pass, then go from there. I've fought the fight in a couple areas OP, I wouldn't recommend it for the ill prepared.

That's not true. Not for us at least. Drug tests happen at quest/labcorp with Accentures corp account detailed on the RO. They provide results to the firm not to the client - and only notify firm in the event of a failure. It's communicated to someone on the account admin team who then will reach out to the individual.

Occasional user and have done multiple drug tests for Oil and Gas work. Delay, delay, delay and you should be okay. Unless you're a regular Cheech you'll be clean from a positive in a week or 2. Usually there is a negative, retest, and positive level. If you end up in the first 2 you're good to go.

How do you assess your client time as billable or non-billable? We are currently reviewing our time card process and want to better establish groundwork for differentiating between the two. Further to that, do you have your time members log their time and categorize it as Billable/Non-Billable upon submission? or does the Account Manager review submitted time cards and assign each based on the work being logged?

I've become really jaded about consulting. I find all so often you need to tell the client what they want to hear to keep their business and I feel like so much of the what I recommend doesn't actually get implemented. I'm looking to make a career switch so I can both create and execute on my strategies. A product management path seems very promising for this.

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.

I do love the people in my practice and current client, but career trajectory has stalled after taking parental leave earlier this year and (yet another) change in leadership.

Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.

Should I stay or should I go?
