Hi I just lost my job due to Covid-19. Can anyone help? I have 10 years of experience in FP&A worked for Goldman and BMO

What are your top 3 favorite pharma directors? I haven’t shot pharma in a while and don’t have extensive experience in it. NY based directors a nice plus but not a must. Forget COVID, just trying to refresh my memory and look at reels. I’m based in NYC, if that matters. Budget is decent. Thanks!

Any big law associates high risk for COVID nervous about going back to the office even after you’re vaccinated? I just don’t see how a firm can require 100% of people to vaccinate so nervous about the people I’d be around

So, the CDC removed the Covid guidelines. I’ve never had Covid. I’m afraid people will come into work not wearing a mask and be inconsiderate… ughhh so distracting and disgusting. I’m also at risk to develop complications. Not sure if I should talk to HR. Not even sure if I should ask for accommodations to continue being able to wfh at least most days of the week to reduce risk. Idkkkk 😩This is so unprecedented. I always wear my mask at work. I’m getting pressured to attend firm events as well

Is anyone changing their retirement plans based on COVID-19 realities and the future of work.

Hello Fishes,

I have received an offer as SD1 at Amazon Gurgaon. I have 1 yr and 6 months of experience. I did my BTech in computer science from 2016-20. I had some active backlogs as well. Due to covid, many exams were not conducted and as for the ones that did happen, the results are taking forever to come. Right now I have one backlog and the result is yet to be announced. I am positive I will pass. Will this affect my offer from Amazon during background check as I am yet to receive degree?

I graduated during Covid with a double major in business administration and business management with a minor in marketing and magically ended up in sales because I needed a job.

Also, if anyone is willing to look over my resume and give me tips on how to make it more presentable for recruiters in DA that would be very helpful. Thanks
