Hello there, I would also truly appreciate referral(s) for Analytical Chemistry roles in NJ, MA (or nearby locations) so I can join my dear family/friends. Quick mention, I’m Canadian by nationality, but I possess every requirement - PhD education, experience, personality and motivation, and documentation to show demonstrate it all. Been hard luck even getting invited to talk with hiring managers.

I will reach out for any help, I’m available at <mcd301@usask.ca>

Recently got an offer for salesforce sales strategy (105K TC) vs Morgan Stanley IB Strategy (135K TC). Salesforce will be 40-50 hours a week remote until 2022 and then will have a hybrid working model, most likely going in office 2-3 times a week vs Morgan Stanley will be on average 60 hours a week in office full time. Is it worth the 30K extra in compensation to commute to office daily + 10-20 more hours per week? In terms of pay progression, I think Morgan Stanley will definitely be a lot fast
