So I decided to quit social media for a month, even though my job depends on it, and instead went on the internet for 15-20 minutes just to get brand inspo, and to keep myself updated in the best way possible. Actually looking for exactly this gave me wayyy better insights than hours of algorithm-led rabbit holes I've been in for the past few years. Has any shift like this changed the game for you?

I'm a computer science engineer, working in the Pharmaceutical RWE domain for 2 years.
Even though I like the impact that my job creates, I often find myself wondering if I can actually get to a high position (e.g. CEO, Director of DS dept.) for a pharmaceutical company being from a technical background.
Please guide me.

Has anyone quit their job because of a relationship? I started my job 3 months ago and now my employer wants me to move to NY. The thing is, I fell in love during the pandemic with a friend that I have known for 3 years. It's frustrating since I know I could continue my job from home. I would honestly quit my job and wouldn't mind the job search again.

Got an offer, made a counter, they came back and said they’re keeping their offer where it is.

Jobs ok. Could use the benefits. Offer was below market.

Thoughts?
