They spoof your local area code so it looks more legit

I have a similar issue 630 from Chicago live in Dallas, every single 630 number that calls me is a robo call. Having moved it’s extremely easy to ignore them now because no one I know has a 630 area code.

If it doesn't show up as a contact, I don't answer.

Spoofing by using numbers with your same area code because people are more likely to answer them.

This is why I never answer calls that are not contacts. People who need to reach me will leave a message. Friends will just text me.

I’m looking to transition from an academic medical center to pharma or a biotech. I have about 8 years of clinical research experience overall — 7 years combined as a CRC (CRC I, CRC II, and senior CRC) and 1 year as a PM. I’m also recently ACRP-CP certified.

I’ve worked with many different industry-sponsors and CROs throughout the years, but many jobs I am applying to require experience at a biotech/CRO/pharma company. Would really appreciate any advice or referrals. Thanks in advance!

So I’m only contributing to 401k enough to get employer match, and I’m saving an additional ~20% and putting 90% of that into my vanguard mutual funds. Reasoning is that I don’t want to lock away all that money maxing out 401k. Have 3 months expenses liquid in a savings account. Is this really dumb? Essentially trading tax for the option of actually using my money.
