In my opinion a university degree is very helpful, it is your preparation to be able to face challenges in a more efficient way. I think it is necessary to have people fully prepared in the area.

It does not apply to everyone but in some cases you can start working as an trainee and in that way gain experience and be able to work in logistics without having a university degree, initially you must find someone who will accept you as a trainee.

I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.

When I moved in-house a year ago as a BigLaw mid-level, I took a 45% pay cut, far more than I was comfortable with (although I was fine with a 20-30% cut).

Now that my year-end review is coming up, how do I ask my company for a significant pay raise (not just a 2-5% inflation-matching raise)?
