Howdy! I've spent the majority of my HR career with management consulting firms. Sometimes I see job postings at Pfizer and J&J that intrigue me.

Fishes in the world of pharmaceuticals: what are your primary pain points? Are there any teams/ roles that you would suggest I avoid? My experience is primarily in Total Rewards and special projects.

Not law related, but does anyone here have multiple travel credit cards? Can't decide if I want to get the Amex gold too or just stay with my chase sapphire and max all my points on that card.

Two Interesting data points from today's Newspaper:

17 Lakh Mumbaikars took Covid Vaccine in 6 weeks.

35 Lakh people took a dip at the Maha Kumbh in one day in Haridwar.
I think we are more concerned about our next life than our current one!!!! 😀

Shall we start curating a list of comp/bonus?
Saw the main bowl which has this list but few data points for Europe & UK.
Would be good to know what the pay is currently due to the hot market & new joiners with great comp?

Hi fellow fish need some advice.

I'm planning a wedding and wondering if I should apply for new credit cards to maximize on points. If so, wondering what your recommendations are and or if there are new cards out there I haven't heard of yet. For context I probably have another 20k+ in expenses to pay still and my current cards are:

CSP
Marriott Bonvoy Boundless
Citi double cash
Random card (used to be uber)

Planning early June honeymoon with ~350k Marriott Bonvoy points - we’re looking at either Europe or Asia as potential locations - any recommendations for hotels? I.e. W Maldives, Marriott Momi Fiji..

Is anyone annoyed that accolades has oddball pricing like 106 for a gift card and you need to pay $10 for 10 points. You can’t just get 6 points?

I'm working on a Fintech startup related to commercial banking pricing. We would like to do some "expert interviews" with current RMs (we would compensate your time.) We want to better understand the friction points when it comes to price C&I or CRE loans. Please DM me if you are interested.

We are not looking for any private information, but more anecdotal evidence of issues that can be improved.

Bonus points if you share the industry you are in and your total salary from working all your roles.

Hi all,

Anyone who is PR and resident of Manitoba can dm me to discuss around it. I am ready to pay for this assistance as well.
