Yes me. I was hired for Johnson & Johnson as a contractor.

Most companies have a policy to retain contracts for a maximum number of years or they have to be converted or put back onto another contract. In this case I am not sure people coming from other tech backgrounds know exactly how lucrative BigPharma is and enjoyed the FTE conversion.

I wasn’t hired through Actalent and I have a long term contract. I find it very difficult to get a full time position.

Thoughts on this Celine Tripmphe bag (maybe in teen size since I’m petite)? I LOVE Celine bags and already own Classic Box (light grey) and Micro Belt bag (amazon green). Would this overlap with my collection, especially the classic box? I feel guilty dropping $3-4k for a bag when my salary’s only 100k. But I want to treat myself for upcoming promotion (hopefully) and for going through hard year in 2020. Was looking at Navy Blue but also considering black, camel or more fun colors (red, pink)
