Hi,
I am a food engineering PhD with one year of medical writing experience. I left my previous job because the compensation was not sufficient for the amount of work I had to do. I got a chance to explore technical writing in a med-tech company. Should I keep trying to find jobs to continue the journey as a medical writer or explore technical writing?

From what I'm seeing, there are more jobs for medical writers than technical writers. You should be able to get the compensation you're looking for.

Hello fellow SAP Consultants!
I am SAP HCM consultant having 4.10 years of experience. I feel that this module doesn’t have any growth.

Should I be worried about my skillset? Any insights would highly be appreciated. I feel stuck.

I'm two thirds through the PMA Core Certification, and the info is great but the tests are a joke. They need to contract with an educator that specializes in testing and assessment to come in and develop exams that actually measure if you know the material. The bad test design devalues the certification. Not to zero, but I definitely will not be proud to have earned it. It just means I had $1300 and sat through 15 hours of video lectures.
