People who left their jobs to pursue PhD? Indian consultant here, with ~ 2 Yoe, in a data science profile. Considering leaving to pursue a life sciences based MS/PhD program in the US.

I deal with a lot ambiguity on a day to day basis as part of my job. I’m very good at my job. But I also have sometimes debilitating anxiety. I do the therapy and the coping things, but it’s still hard. I’d switch careers, but I’m good at what I do and like the money and just feel like the anxiety would follow me on to the next thing. Shout out to those that struggle to cope and still try everyday. I see you and I commend you.

I've made the decision last night to go back to school for medical. I'm 27 this year my wife and I are semi-accomplished making 250k combined we have a 2-year-old. I feel this would be the best time given having a toddler, I just feel that I can do more to make an impact by becoming a doctor which was my original plan before I met my wife. Has anyone made this kind of pivot before and what obstacles did you face?

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?

I graduated from law school in 2007, went to big law and was laid off in 2009 due to the Great Recession. I went back to school and got my LLM in tax, after a stint at big 4, I got back into big law but was asked to start over as a first year. Years later, close to partnership and being mentored in that direction, I lost my job due to something completely out of my control that I can’t get into. I always wanted to make partner, but I’m struggling at my new firm with not enough work (p. 1)

Received a job offer. Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on a concern I had about it. It's an entry level position, and I don't have much experience. The billables are 2040 a year. For billable hours in civil litigation and insurance defense, is 2040 hours for a 1st year associate on the high end in this field for a small or midsize firm? It seems like most attorneys I know have minimum requirements of around 1800. The compensation is around 80k a year.

I have to keep so much systematized and scheduled for my job and organizationally I'm a mess. Does anyone have a fool-proof, ADHD-proof system for office and online organization? My life feels like a browser with 20 tabs open right now and I am losing it.

What skills are needed as an entry level life sciences consulting?

Moved to industry and noticed my boss has been dumping all of their work, meetings on me and blocking calendar for personal time. How do you manage this? I have been overwhelmed since I joined past 2 months. They are nice and supportive it’s just that the minute I complete one task they start pushing more and more to me with no breather in between. Some items that they owned before I joined are also something I have to ramp up on.

Folks who’ve left ClearView, how is life on the other side, and how long did you stay before you jumped ship? It’s a week where I’m burning, and the fact that I feel so isolated during it makes me want to quit consulting altogether. Would also like to talk to some of you if possible. Never thought I’d say this but I honestly feel unhappy in my job, and I wonder if it is just WFH related - and whether it might get better once the office opens up.
