How do you balance curiosity with career security? I love exploring new ideas, but I’m starting to feel pressure to chase “marketable” topics. I don’t want to lose the reason I got into this field in the first place.

Anyone use Noom recently? How did it work for you? Worth the $?

I have a looming sense of self hatred. I take medication I workout and do all the things to feel good, but it’s just stuck there. Constantly thinking I’m trash, in a bad person, etc. Feeling guilty for things idek if I should feel guilty about. This is a privileged problem and I know it’s minuscule to compared to the actual struggles of so many people in the US and abroad. Just wondering if anyone has felt this as well and if so, how do you get rid of that self hatred?

I’m known amongst my IG circle for my content creation style, and I think I should give UGC/content-creation a try. I’m going to put all of my photos in a portfolio now, but how do I find gigs and jobs?

Does anyone know the plan between the Chase Marriott card and the AMEX SPG?

Hello all,

I am looking to change jobs in a month’s time. Priority date in Jan 2016- EB2.

What are the potential risks I need to keep in mind for this change. (Mostly switch to another B4).

If you have a business or side hustle please feel free to share your site or social page below. Someone may be looking for what you’re selling, producing, etc. 🔌

After your PhD, did you take time to do something completely different to give yourself a break? The stress of the past few years has made working in a cafe look surprisingly appealing.

I worked at two different food delivery companies with nearly polarized cultures. One was transparent and collaborative, allowing ideas to come from anywhere in the organization. The other was very secretive, and you could only focus on what you were assigned to do. In your opinion, what defines a great company culture?

I recently left the gov’t for private practice with a M&A group. How does everyone bill when you are thinking about how to structure it and what docs need to get drafted? I’m learning that billing is an art so any canned language would be great!

My motivation legit evaporates when I’m on the bench... help

Anyone have an objection to me pretty much running my timer nonstop on the day a deal closes as a junior associate? It seems fair to me

Home reno financing question. Have a big project coming up in the $120-150k range. Funding sources are:
- 90k from a heloc around prime
- 10k from a credit card that offers promo checks at 2-3% for 12-18 months
- 375k in a brokerage
- 5-6k per month cash that I can put towards the project, loans, or brokerage

I don't want to stop funding the brokerage because my FIRE plan is less numbers based than "hoard like dragon until it's enough" but maybe I should... How would you optimize?

Has anyone tried Isagenix? Thoughts? Did it work?

Is it possible to exit to LS VC from a boutique firm? What type of experience do they typically look for?

Hi all. I’m looking for a referral at Roland Berger in Canada regarding an open role. This is a long shot but can anyone provide an introduction? Happy to share details over PM.

Is there a difference in a total salary for employees working on-site vs remote only peering this same job?

Science question: is there an explanation for why some amide coupling reagent work better than others? Trying to find an explanation for some results I'm seeing in my research but I'm not finding anything.

Did anyone here have a professor or mentor that changed their life and got them into this industry?

Need help settling a debate with my friend. She thinks I will have an easier time getting research grants because I'm male. I think it's the opposite because companies are trying to change the status quo and get more women involved (which I'm not complaining about... please don't attack me.) 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!!!

I've never understood this, why do there seem to be more female librarians than male?

I know everyone has one...what's your favorite element on the periodic table and why?

Ladies, did you change your last name after getting married? I’m worried about the impact it will have on my publications.

I recently had a student who complained that his professor did not use enough citations in his academic papers. I was wondering, are we still allowed to cite our own writings in our papers these days? Or is it just a thing of the past?

I recently heard someone say that: "Wokeism is destroying academia." Curious everyone's thoughts on this...

What are some of the best paid medical fields that don't require a doctorate? Certifications are absolutely fine. I just can't afford to go into doctorate-level debt

What are some of the best countries to work in as a research scientist?

Watching CSI type shows was more fun before I knew the limitations of the technology, it seemed like magic to me

How can companies justify cutting research and development expenses when they literally have no future without it

Currently going to school for my cannabis certification but I rarely see any jobs that offer cannabis research. I currently work in a lab/greenhouse environment and would love to continue that line of work with hemp/cannabis. Yet again no luck whatsoever, just finding jobs as budtenders or running a dispensary. Does anyone know where I can find research-based cannabis jobs? I have a degree in horticulture with lab experience.

What are the biggests costs involved in starting a veterinary office?

I currently work at a large research institution and am in the process of getting retroactively reclassified to a new title (Long story but my PI is cheap and routinely pays ppl the bare minimum so now the Union is helping me w/ a retro reclass.) Reclass can take 2 - 6 months to process. Meanwhile, I am interviewing for industry job. If I get an industry job, what do I do if my reclass isn’t processed yet? I want the title and the money owed which may be about $15000- 20000.

Any science teachers here?! Dissecting frogs in eighth grade made me want to learn everything I could about anatomy, that's why I'm a science teacher, and it's not the same to teach kids online as it is in person

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?

New grad students have started asking about my experience in the program. Should I be honest and tell them how horrible it was? Or avoid the question and let them form their own opinion?
