My role is a research associate in a biology lab. My day to day is mostly doing lab work, like setting up experiments, running tests, and analyzing data. I also help write grants and papers. I really enjoy the problem-solving aspects of science, and I love that every day is a little different.

I am a research technician and I work in a lab. I help the scientists with their experiments and I do a lot of the grunt work. I have to make sure that everything is clean and organized, and that all the equipment is working properly. I also help with data collection and analysis.

My day to day is pretty varied, but it always revolves around the lab. I might be cleaning glassware, preparing solutions, or working on a experiment. I really enjoy my job, but it can be challenging at times.

I work in a hospital with bloodwork samples. Every day is different, but I usually spend at least part of my time in the lab doing experiments or analyzing data. I also spend a lot of time writing reports and preparing presentations. I really enjoy my job and find it challenging and interesting.

Recalling my first onboarding meeting in-house with the c - suite. Thinking back now recalling that they would often mention if someone they are referring to is a woman. For example, "Oh we have these two women doing x, y, and z and they do it well, a well-oiled machine." etc. I was the only woman in the room. They did not mention when someone performing a particular role was a man but they did point out when it's a woman, happened about four times. Odd, no? What would you make of this?

I've completed the final rounds for 2 companies: AWS as an L7 Principal PMT and another that's a Series-A funded startup in the HCM space. I expect offers from both: AWS around $400k TC ($250k base + $150k stock) and the startup should be around $300k TC ($250k base + 20% bonus). If comp wasn't the ONLY consideration, what would you do? The AWS role will be an IC role and more hands-on/technical. The startup will be a CPO role reporting to the CEO with a team of about 50 devs+PMs.

confession: Today I got a little too aggressive on the pint of ice cream in the freezer that only had a few bites in it. I came to realize the only way to not catch heat was to eat it all, go to the store and replace it, take a few bites of the new one, then destroy the evidence. Wife had no idea when she opened it after dinner. My life has come to sneaking treats and I don’t know how to feel about it.
