I work in Medical Writing, and every time I push for more direct, clear language in our trial documents, like just saying what the risk is, I’m told to “soften the tone” so it doesn’t sound “too harsh.” Meanwhile, my male colleague writes the same way and gets praised for being “confident” and “decisive.” It’s subtle, but it adds up. I’m tired of walking the tightrope between clarity and likability. How do you advocate for strong communication without getting labeled “abrasive” or “difficult”?

My mom has been sick for nearly a week now (fever, fatigue, nausea) but isn't able to get help or tested because she doesn't have respriatory symptoms...yet. Our numbers are definitely underreported.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but here it goes. In your experience, how much does a PRODUCT owner makes in bay area / San Diego in a medical device company? I got hired as a business analyst but now doing full product owner role, I actually like it and fixing my resume for any internal move or external.

I got low balled when I got here, do not want to repeat same experience

Medical device sales 100K OTE 4YOE.

Jr. Associate at an AmLaw 100 firm in Central Florida. Good credentials; top 10% at T14, law review. Sick of private practice bc of hours and pressure. Also, not enjoying the work that Central Florida offers, but want to live here.

Thinking of applying to be an ASA and to the FL AGO. Would like trial experience or civil rights/con law work.

Thoughts appreciated!
