PSC is interesting with big money and a bunch of ex KKR folks. Blend of venture and growth. These guys part of the group that took Syneos private. In my experience so far a bit too, we know what we are doing leave us alone, for my taste. But I’m trying to sell work so ::shrug::

Abingworth doing a lot of synthetic asset stuff via Carlyle, it’s interesting but a bit of a niche, easy work if you’re used to asset valuations but not full value chain exposure.

The latter is a much bigger name I think

Abingworth is now Carlyle right? Would definitely focus my energy on that.

Hi Fishes, Have a query. My spouse is working in the electrical and electronics field for the last 15years, in various GCC countries. Now he wishes to come back to India and wants to join some company here. But seems like similar opportunities are very less, say close to 3-4%. What is your opinion if he takes a DevOps course and do a career change ? What will be the % of getting interviews ? Even if he gets selected, how much will he get?
Please reply.

Hi everyone. Is it typical for the attorney to take credit for the work a paralegal does?

Zero credit or thank you for the work I did.
