I have one and love it. I looked at options in some industry groups I’m in. I interviewed 3 and went with one that I thought would challenge me in good ways to go beyond where I was at. Good luck!

Can I ask how much yours cost? I looked into a few coaches who were doing hybrid group/personal coaching and they were $3k-5k for 8-10weeks.

D1 are you willing to share the information?

I have been with my current company for about 3 years now and currently at 75k plus employer paid benefits and decent pension plan. Due for review next month and expecting to be offered a 5k raise. However with 6 years of relevant experience I would like to be close to 85k. We hireda new team member for the same role as me as the business is growing. They came in at 75k which bothered me a little because I pretty much began this department and put in a lot of processes. More in comments.

I am a Manager at a big 4 international tax considering switch to M&A Tax in another big 4 or a prestigious firm International Tax group but with more structure work. Which one is better for a long-term plan (~2 years) of going to private with a mid/upper management position that is not compliance oriented? As for me, I was heavy on compliance until recent and wanted to focus on getting planning experience and management skills forward. I am a CPA and an attorney, but not a JD.

It’s my second week at this job, was given an assignment to submit jobs into the MLR review system.

Now MLR team asked us to follow the guidelines, and my boss is throwing me under the bus for not “opening” the jobs correctly. I am already breaking down and think I’m a failure, but some people think I’m not being set up for success. Should I move jobs?

Hello all
I am a biology graduate. I worked in cancer research and development for more than two years. Recently moved to Canada, and now I'm wanting to transition into clinical research.
Most jobs I find online ask for atleast 2 years clinical experience.
Does anyone have any tips on how to procure this experience? Should I invest in a course? Or should I volunteer at a CRO?
I recently got offered a clinical admin position, would this count as clinical exp?
Thanks
