I just moved to Pasadena/ Los Angeles from Asia. I have selling experiences for medical lab equipment for 3+years and find that most sales jobs (medical device) require driving. As a new driver, I am still not confident to drive alone and I am currently unfamiliar with how US health system works B2B. Any advice on my next move (except practice driving more) or other job recommendation? Thanks!

Welcome - you can take the metro: blue line until you get more comfortable with driving. Practice driving on Sundays as there's less traffic on the highways.
As for jobs, look into Johnson & Johnson, given they're heavily medical based. All the best & feel free to ask any questions via this thread or DM.

So… 3.5 year relationship came crashing in Jan due to covid depression, work burn out, lockdown etc. We have stayed in contact and recently he has come around to apologizing and considering getting back together. However he also revealed he started seeing someone casually 4 weeks ago and technically is cheating on her by meeting me for coffee and to discuss this. I’m upset that he’s dating others but shouldn’t be right? I mean, I did the same. Still hurts though. And I told him to sort that out
