I have this 3 prong answer that I drummed up in b-school. I elaborate on a sort of toolkit that I use as a consultant — all soft skills but I elaborate with examples from specific projects.

"a sentence or less" what kind of hell is this

I just got it again in a job application - 150 characters or less 🤦🏻‍♀️

Nothing, I’m just like everyone else you’ve hired.

Ladies how do you manage your relationship when your spouse holds you to what you promised you would do before you got married but then you realize you can’t do it. I had promised my husband I would fast with him for an entire day on a specific religious holiday, but when I did for the first time I had stomach pains, headache, and nausea. I told him I can’t do it for that long again but he said “we’ll see, you just need to push through”.

Looking at exits into pharma and biotech. Have an opp at a biotech at the SM level. Total comp excluding equity is around $190k; RSUs vest over 4 years with annual refreshers, so first year equity would be around $6,200 and it would go up by $6,200 each of the next 3 years, plus whatever base bump I get. Very good benefits package.

They envision 2-3 years before I jump either to AD or right to D. Solid opp? Or hold out to go straight to director level?
