Thoughts on switching between healthcare provider consulting and life science/pharma consultant

Hello Everyone!

I am an ETL Developer with 9+ YOE. I have job offers from the below companies with almost same compensation. Can you suggest which is a good option to join if job security and work life balance is of priority?

1. Luxoft India LLP (A DXC acquired company)
2. HCL Technologies
3. Legato Health Technologies
4. Cognizant Technology Solutions

Looking forward for your feedback and suggestions.

Thank you in advance.

Getting life insurance so they drug tested me. Now they want me to fill out a form that basically asks me to certify if I’ve EVER done any of these drugs. What the? Who hasn’t EVER? What happens if I say never did? Idk my results from the drug test, maybe I smoked a bowl in the last few weeks, can’t say for sure. How does this work?

Where's a good place to start if I have a real estate background but have become a self-taught software developer and want to shift.

About to join a startup in a Head of People & Culture position (currently 50 people and growing to 200+ over next year) I do not hold a degree in Human Resources or equivalent but hold relevant certs/quals, backed by 8 years of experience in TA and generalist HR. Does the community feel it’s beneficial to enrol in an MBA program (MBA HR Management for example) at this point in my career?

Please share some insights about work culture at PwC Labs. How different is it with Deloitte? What is the career level expected for a 11 yr professional.

Hi All, I’m thinking about getting certified in change management but not sure if I should go the Prosci route or CCMP route. CCMP is a lot cheaper compared to Prosci but would it measure up just the same?

I guess it would be similar to the discussion of the SHRM-SCP vs SPHR.

HI All,

I have 3yrs of experience as a Customer Service Associate. I want to change my line of work as it is very monotonous. Can anybody suggests me what are the different roles I can apply for with my current skillset?

If you accept reduced hours, would that allow you to change your benefits? I am considering changing my health insurance, 401k contribution and hsa to “plug the gap”

Anyone know of any banking analyst lateral opportunities in Chicago? Looking to jump to BB/EB. Any insight to the shops around here is much appreciated!

If there were no practical obstacles whatsoever, what area(s) of law OTHER than your current practice area would you want to explore, and why?

I’ve been so specialized for so long I’m not even sure how to answer this question for myself. Once upon a time I was somewhat interested in tax but I’m worried that’s where fun goes to die. I kinda dig admin law, although that’s cheating a bit because I work with a federal agency.

As a (class of 2020) second year whose several classmates from different groups are already thinking about leaving/going to other firms, should I explore other options too? Don’t know if they’re being dramatic about how bad it is or if I’m just drinking the koolaid in my group?

Tax exit opportunities suck. Pretty much more tax when you get out lol. People only see you as the tax guy. Will love to do PF&A but it’s almost impossible with a tax background. I think it’s time to move to audit then.

How to manage up to a mAcromanager?

I deeply respect him—he is why I decided to stick with the company. I felt like I found my Gandalf/Yoda/Teacher. I appreciate his mngmnt style—lots of freedom and opportunity for discovery. But sometimes, it feels like he doesn’t care and gets exhausted by conversations around growth. I know when he is frustrated with my Qs cuz he’ll start giving my short answers. And that’s whenever I try to get objectives for a projects out of him. What do I do lol?

Is it worth asking for a pay raise if you know you are leaving the firm soon? Coming up on my one year at a firm. I'm already significantly underpaid, however, they are a smallish firm (15-20 attorneys) and it's insurance work. I'm already on the hunt for a new job and plan to leave within 2-4 months. Is it worth trying to get them to squeeze out more if I know I plan to leave for way more money?

With the various RTO rumors/fear out there and in the absence of spring/summer/fall(?) bonuses. Would you consider coming into the office more if your firm offered bonuses linked to days in the office (coupled with billable targets, of course)?

Seeking advice! I am currently looking to move roles into something related to life sciences. My educational background is in genetics/chemistry and I worked in a few biotech/research labs back in college. However I made the move to tech for the pay bump and new experience (I work with financial services companies to innovate their cloud infrastructure and developer services). I REALLY miss working in an industry where I utilize my background in cell biology, genetics, chemistry, etc. contd.

Do others know of businesses who intend of disposing if GMP Manufacturing locations in the upcoming 24 months?

Just for staffed on a project for my first life sciences client. Know nothing about the industry. Any suggested resources that I can use for industry knowledge? Or key things to google lol?
