as luck would have it...



I started a new job this week and wouldn’t you know it I have two second interviews at other companies!

I am so excited for the possibilities :o)

One is at a law firm and one is in house at a pharma co.   

The pharma is corporate and securities for an up and coming company.  It’s been around for quite a while but last year was a banner year for them where they were awarded two FDA approvals for their cancer drugs.  Apparently that’s huge in that world and it has been experiencing extreme growth. 

The law firm job is with a prominent firm and is in healthcare M&A.  This role encompasses many of my skills although I have never used them all together in this way.  The firm is well respected and there are no billable hours, which is unheard of for a firm.  I am interested in both so we will see…stay tuned!

New(ish) Gig



I started a new job with my same company this week. Today is day two…

I was not excited at all.  You know how you get excited/nervous before starting a new job?  Well none of that--in fact quite the opposite.  Last week I had nightmares, one where I was mugged in a dark alley and I was so frightened I couldn’t scream, and another where someone was trying to take Diamond from me and I said “over my dead body!” and there ya go, I was killed.  What do YOU think that means?  I have a pretty good idea…I already blogged about the clusterfuck it was getting this role.

But as I said, today is day two and I had to book a trip to meet the team.  I was told that the weather in Montana will be nice but to dress for a blizzard because apparently they form within minutes.  Great.  I live in California, I have no “blizzard wear”.

Anyway, the job is new in that they use different acronyms and terms for basically the same thing I did in my last role.  As my new manager was describing it to me I was finishing her sentences.  She seemed to like the fact that I am familiar with not only what they expect of the person in the role, but of the company’s many hoops.

Day two and still not excited.
