In short I’m in desperate need of an extended leave to deal with my mental health and in desperate need of moving to a different agency… I’m afraid of the optics of the leave happening then leaving the agency at some point later on. Should I care about that? If so is min. amount of time between the “leave” and the “leaving”? I feel like my only option is to power though at my current job while looking on the side and then if I’m lucky enough to land a job go straight into it w/o a break… cont.👇

Hi, I finished my onsite last week and recruiter reached out today saying we’re finalizing the interviews with candidates for the role , and should be in a position to make a final decision on who to progress with by end next week.

I saw another similar post but the OP is an RN, and I didn’t know how much that information would apply to me as an LPN.

In a multifamily home that i own and live in facing lot of trash problem with the street trash getting caught in the hedges/bushes. Fencing might solve the issue but is it worth spending 6-10m on this gives this is an investment property and this does not necessarily add any separate value per se?

I’ve been having a super hard time concepting lately, especially knowing that the “concept” will mostly serve as a sticker to slap on the cover of a CVA and the top of a website. I feel like every pharma concept I’ve ever seen or created becomes so cheesy once it appears in tactics. Does anyone have any examples of HCP creative (non-DSA) that is both impactful and translates well into pharma tactics?

I’ve been thinking about this for awhile now, but it is very to commit to actually accept a new job offer since I really do love my job. My only complaint is, the pay vs workload is very small.

Should I move on and go to a different industry? Opinions are welcome! Thanks in advance.

My parents got incredibly angry and threatened to “end up in the hospital” and “disown” me after I told them I want to marry my partner, who comes from a different religion.
