What’s the general sentiment on Dr. Marty Makary as the potential head of the FDA?
Curious to hear different perspectives on his leadership style and approach.

I don't know what he will do at FDA, but as a prof he was fantastic! Very clear on his evidence base and knew drug development for orphan drugs very well. The question is how he will manage his boss and super boss. He had a great reputation at Hopkins as well in surgery department unlike Dr. Oz at Columbia, and before anyone comes at me, both Hopkins and Columbia are my alums so it's not like I am biased on one over other,..

Very helpful, thank you!

I expect a culture/personality clash with a heaping (and painful) dose of "gee, golly, politics/government is harder than it looks" followed by a six month period where the increasing pressure and responsibilities of the job nearly erases his will to live.

I don’t agree with a lot of his Covid opinions but I think the consensus is that he is one of the more qualified trump appointees.

If there are big shakeups at FDA, I expect they will come from RFK Jr, Trump, or Musk and Makary might (might) push back or dial down those shakeups

Hello, I am in USI GES tax at DUSI. I love my job but not my team and mgmt anymore. I'm a performer and I'm dumped with work of 2 ppl while others are searching for work. I am burned out.

I resigned and accepted a job with EY GDS with a huge pay bump that DUSI can't match but I also gave up my potential promotion for 2023.

I've been feeling bad about putting my papers down and letting go off my promotion but I am really tired. I took up this job as an escape.

Did i do the right thing?

3 Things to keep in mind which changing jobs:
1. Always ask dedicated budget for the job before you tell your expectations.

2. Always have atleast 2 weeks of gap before you join any company. You might not understand significance of that but just have a gap.

3. Always talk to people of team you will be joining before you accept offer or atleast before you join company.
