I make $225k as a mid-level associate in NYC and somehow still feel broke. Between $3k/month rent, $1,100/month in loan payments, taxes, and ordering takeout because I don’t have time to cook...I blink and my paycheck is gone. I know it’s a high income on paper, but it doesn’t feel like wealth when I’m stressed about savings and can’t even imagine affording a place to buy. Is this just what being a lawyer in a big city looks like, or am I doing something wrong?

Hi, Are there people here who have switched from being a doctor or dentist and went on and got an International healthcare management MBA (or just a standard MBA) and also have experiences from surgery/clinical side, pharmaceuticals, and bit of consulting? If yes, how was your transition? What were your starting roles and salaries? Thank you :)

Have you ever worked on pharma/healthcare projects that you personally disagree with (whether i.e how they do business, their political affiliation, their drug pricing, etc)? What was that project like and how did you deal with it?

Any remote, part time jobs in healthcare with a BS? Already have a full time, just need some extra cha Ching

Does anyone have leads for a recent MPH Epidemiology grad with 0-2 YOE to get into consultant roles in Healthcare/life sciences?

Second question: what sort of work experiences are companies like flatiron and komodo health looking for to work in RWE/heor? I'm not sure how to leverage Epidemiology to get into that space :(

Associates - Care to share your rough budgets (income, spousal income/family support, rent, monthly spending, student loan payments, savings, etc.)?

I have accepted an offer.

My “future boss” will go on maternity leave within 30 days of me joining the new company.

Any tips will be highly appreciated.

Hi sharks
News coming in i have just seen one person writing in some cts bowl that the new internet reimbursement model is put on hold and we will be receiving 1800 this month too,,is it true? Can someone throw light on this and enlight me by telling whether this is true or just a fake one

I just hit my lean fire number but am hesitating to pull the trigger, so was hoping to run it by people smarter than me:

- I have a few rentals that bring in ~$1800/mo cash flow, taxes are negligible, Capex incl.
- My paper assets will bring in ~$1200/mo at 3% draw
- I get free Healthcare at the VA
- No plans on kids
- My expenses haven't topped $30k/yr ever
- I could always reenter the workforce if needed (albeit probably not in consulting)

Please point out the flaws here, what am I missing?

Hi all, healthcare question here. If premiums are equal and my employer is funding my deductible under HDHP up to the deductively under the PPO plan being offered, then which plan is preferable and why? I read all the materials about both plans but I’m still not really sure which one is better for me - it seems like the difference comes down to co-pays and the HSA. Any advice or insight is welcome.

Does anyone have experience working for a ALSP? How does compensation work (pay and benefits)? Are you an employee or technically an IC? Do you have billable requirements like at a firm?
