Currently a manager at a boutique life sciences firm (eg Clearview, Trinity, Putnam). Debating between full time and part time MBAs. Want to stay in pharma but would make less by going into industry out of b school. Leaning toward part time, is that a mistake?

Wouldn't pay my own way to go part-time, that's for sure. Is your firm offering to pay?

Also, there is wide variation in the quality of LS boutique firms. Are you at a top one, or one that thinks they're top but are actually meh? If the later, a full-time brand-name MBA might be a better bet.

My perception is that HA has a great reputation in devices, diagnostics, medtech. Weaker in biopharma.

Thinking of going freelance in a few months because I have gone 3 years without a raise and my work-life balance is awful. I’m not in a big ad agency market, so there are only a small number of places I could go to if I decide freelance is not for me and want to go back to agency life. Am I crazy to consider doing this now? Any advice from agency producers who took the leap?

Hi Folks,

I've got a job offer from a small IT company. But before releasing the offer letter, they want me to accept a terms and conditions form which has this 10th point as shown in picture. It states failing to join them will result in paying 2 months of salary that's around 130000 rs.

Is it for real? If I get a better offer somewhere else ane don't join them, will I really have to pay this to them? Please help friends. What should I do?
