I was talking to a colleague about rising costs and we both admitted something quietly. Career moves feel riskier when the cost of living is high. Do you choose to stay where things feel predictable, or still take calculated risks?

I think this is pretty normal when it comes to a poor economy. People are less likely to take risks and make big moves when the cost of doing so is more significant. I'm not sure if it's rising costs or just a bad job market, but it's definitely a lot scarier to make major changes these days.

I think that instinct is completely natural. When the economy feels uncertain and living costs are high, stability starts to look a lot more valuable. I still believe in calculated risks, but the bar for taking them definitely becomes higher.

IMO I’ve never seen more pharma jobs open. And I keep seeing so many people in non-pharma looking for new jobs... well, we’ve got them. What’s the disconnect? Why do you think people won’t make the switch?

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?
