Considering switching careers:

My passion cannot feed my family but I've been burned out so much after years in Tax. 😞

Question! I just moved(transferred) to another team of my company and received new title, graphic & creative services. I was a senior graphic designer at the previous team.

I love my new team and people here! Super healthy working environment! But just curious about the title.

Please help! I’m a CRC who manages Investigator- led clinical research projects and I want to transition to a PM role in industry (I would slightly prefer not a PM role in clinical trials since I don’t have clinical trial experience.)

Maybe I’m just out of touch being in this career for so long.
