Just a question for those here. What does anyone see as a job outlook for a pharmacy technician that has 15 years of experience and is studying for the CPhT? I would like to return to 100% remote work and, understandably, most job postings that are about my caliber are requiring the cert. I am thinking of possibly pivoting into an IT job that would be fully remote later on down the road, but I’m interested in seeing what is possible now (and an average pay) for someone with my experience.

Hello all, I'm doing IVF shortly (retrieval in May, and transfer in July). Fingers crossed I do get pregnant. BUT I MIGHT be up for Senior Manager at Accenture this year as well. My husband's pushing me to keep gunning for it and make it happen. I'm REALLY worried about the increased expectations/responsibilities if and when I get the promotion, not to mention the extra effort it takes leading up to it to keep proving yourself. Shouldn't I be turning it DOWN a notch instead of UP?? Thoughts?

I’ve told my manager about what I’m going through and she is supportive, but feeling guilty when I hear about how busy everyone around me is and I just can’t find the motivation.

That’s the right choice!!” Me (awkwardly)- “I still have time… I’m not even 30 yet!” (Team member who knows about our 3 month and 6 month miscarriages looking on with THE saddest face) Ughhhh. He had absolutely no idea and meant well since everyone was talking about their kids but gosh…I wish this didn’t have to be a thing😩
