I'm in my late 30's that works in the facilities dept for a hospital trying to switch career to being a pharmacy technician for the same hospital. I'm enrolled for fall classes for pharmacy tech school. I'm trying to avoid retail as much as I can. I have a 5 year plan. Get my certificate, gain experience with pharmacy workflow for a hospital and move to their clinical informatics dept. Any advise?

Stop by the pharmacy at the hospital and make friends with the staff, get to know people on the pharmacy team if you have not already & let them know you are interested in being a part of the pharmacy team. Perhaps you can transfer into their department ? Do you know if they have positions available or upcoming positions available? Some states do technician trainees & will hire you before you get your state technician license. Ask around the hospital pharmacy! Get to know as much as you can and as many people as you can and make sure you continue to be an employee in good standing at the hospital!

Hi thanks for the reply. I reached out to their Pharmacy tech supervisor. She said that as soon as i get my licensed, i can send her an email with the application number. Unfortunately the pharmacy school that im going to (Penn foster) is not on their listed schools for internship and Pharmacy techs position in TMMC rarely opens up. Im hoping i could get in

I’m a 9th year in a mostly litigation-based practice group at a one-tier partnership firm. My group’s billable hours have been low the last few years, so making partner will be nearly impossible, and a counsel position is not viable long-term in my group. What’s the best option here if partnership is the ultimate goal? Try to get a NEP/counsel position at another firm, which is likely difficult in my market, or offer to take a class cut by a few years?

Does anyone have any insight into partners retiring early? I am at a point where I need to consider leaving if I am not aiming for partner. I don’t see myself working past my 40s. My partner and I are not big spenders and anticipate have enough to retire comfortably in 40s (obviously a lot can change). I have been assured I will become SM in next year (currently 31 years old).

I have a return offer from a big 4! Thoroughly enjoyed the experience as an intern and have no complaints. Would love to go back.

However, a bit confused if I should try and recruit with MBB’s or if I should accept the big 4 offer already and take the sign on bonus?

Would it be a blunder to NOT try recruiting with MBB’s ? Besides the monetary aspect, what are the other things I’d have to think about?

Happy with career progression, always getting juicier assignments, work directly with ECDs/CCOs... am I missing something crucial? Is my case an anomaly? Or is it okay not to push for a title upgrade?
