Everyone keeps talking about upskilling but no one gives you time to actually do it. I’m trying to fit learning in after hours and it’s exhausting. How are you making space for growth without burning out.

I do a lot of learning on my own personal time. It's not ideal because I would love to get paid for it, but I figure it'll impact my life more than any organization I work for.

I'm not. I know I need to be, especially with job security being pretty much non existent these days. But like you said, how is someone supposed to find the time and mental energy for it?

My New Year’s resolution was to update my skills base. Particularly when it comes to AI. So I’ve only been doing this for like two weeks now. But yeah, I can only find time to work on these late at night after everyone’s asleep. So I’m imagining after a few more weeks of this, I will be feeling the burn out.

How do you keep up/in touch with your network?

If I don't have any relevant information to share with them, what should I do?

Can anyone give me their honest opinion on working at Eli Lilly, the Indy site? I have a few coworkers that have worked there in the past but no one recently. I’m currently being recruited pretty seriously for a in-vivo technician position in the auto-immune team, but I already have a job lined up at Envigo as a small animal sx tech. Salaries would be comparable (Lilly would most likely be a little more with bonuses), but if the culture sucks, I’d hate to burn a bridge with Envigo.

Need help settling a debate with my friend. She thinks I will have an easier time getting research grants because I'm male.

Which one of us is more right than the other? I'm interested in getting as many viewpoints as possible, whether or not they agree with me or with her. Thanks!!!
