Looking for referrals to major Life Sciences consulting positions for strategy/analytics in Toronto/ Canada.

Please and thank you!

Master’s in biotech from McGill. Tons of research experience, pretty solid resume, 3+ years of translational research, 1+ year of consulting experience. And rich profile.

Need advice. Currently at $142k base. 3 years and 1 month left before I max out of H1b. Just got my PWD issued through current employer though their immediate reaction is subtly letting me know they’re not in a hurry to start recruitment. Got an offer today for $160k base. Similar role, both are good teams, etc. Do I politely decline and see my GC process through or accept and get more money? Feel like current employer will drag their feet as long as they can for retention purposes.

My dream is to be a full time property investor (buy, renovate, build, sell, rent etc). I’m saving to buy my first property to fix up. Anyone have any tips to get started?

After being broken up now for 14 months - I think I still love my ex. We were together 6 years, and never fought. I thought I would spend the rest of my life with him. I don’t know why I can’t move on. It’s my birthday weekend and I have plans all weekend, but can’t stop thinking about this. I’ve been out with lots of great guys, but I keep holding on that maybe… one day we will be together again. Then my ex texted me today to let me know he and his new fiancé are moving to (cont. below)…

I’ve heard electric cars aren’t actually as clean as they make them out to be since the electricity they use is still being produced by coal-powered plants. To what extent is this true? Is the reduced environmental impact worth the investment at this point in their development?

Are you being asked to help out for absent teachers or taken on extra duties because of the teacher shortage? Are you getting paid extra? What perks are you receiving for helping out? Lastly, is it volunteer or volunteer-told? How are you all managing?

We're going to be starting a new self-esteem boosting program with the 6th grade girls. Does your school have anything like this?

We talk about not being paid enough, but now I see that 16 years and a masters degree has caused my salary to be higher than any entry-level job will pay someone with no experience in the field.

Tomorrow they are requiring masks again and I was almost in tears when I found out. We have been mask free (recommended) since June and I feel like we are being muzzled again. I am vaccinated, frustrated, and have been off of antidepressants since March. I don’t even want to go into work tomorrow. Anything is better than being virtual and I am trying to look at the bright side, but moving backward still burns. We have parent-teacher conferences coming up and I am hoping that it’s temporary.

This week’s topic in our staff meetings is trauma and understanding the behavior of our students. Anyone else can’t help but take it personal when students lash out? 🙋🏻‍♀️

I am in year 22.I was moved again this year to a new 5-6 building with 1100. We have a brand new principal. Things are a mess academically and behaviors are frightening. I am close to quitting! Help!!

Principal called me into his office in the middle of my work day to let me know I did not get the K job I interviewed for & that he had no intention of ever considering me for the job. He told me I wasn't professional because I went for walks on my lunch time, I left the building when my contractual hours were done, I didn't use any of my spare time seeing if he needed me to sub anywhere, also encouraged me to apply for all upcoming jobs but would never get them :) How toxic is your work place?

Anyone use therapy dogs in their classrooms? If so, how?

Has anyone added meditation practices to their elementary classroom? I recently saw the the app Calm was doing a promotion where they let teachers join for free. Does anyone recommend?
