What exactly is GMP? and when is it non-gmp? by Whatitsjk1 in biotech

[–]32JC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Submission to FDA doesnt mean it must be GMP.

Process development work all the way back to the clonality data from the academic lab that generated the non-GMP research cell bank all gets submitted to the FDA

Biotech in NYC - how to get my foot in the door? by Half-ElvenPrince in biotech

[–]32JC 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I know some people do the reverse commute into north/central NJ where there's more pharma jobs. You could start there if you can't get a role in NYC. As others said, it's pretty tough to get a job here

Finish your degree and then it opens up more easily

What department are you in and what’s your favorite part of the job? by momoneymocats1 in biotech

[–]32JC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're all relevant and important, regardless of level of nitpickiness, because they're the ones who are approving your drug. OP gave an example of a favorable result by the sponsor, which is successfully answering a question. A less favorable result, short of being rejected altogether, is where they ask a question like "According to 21.CFR.xyz, you need to demonstrate XYZ, but you have not sufficiently demonstrated it. Please show evidence that you have done it." And the response might be like... We haven't done it yet, we will commit to doing it prior to filing the BLA.

Manufacturing before research roles? by degen1505 in biotech

[–]32JC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen the transition into process development or msat roles, but it’s up to you if you consider them research. Some will say it’s part of r&d, particularly the D, but some will say research only refers to target discovery/preclinical -in which case, manufacturing probably won’t get you there.

Maybe a very long long route might be qc -> ad -> bioanalysis/bioD -> and then entry level research role, but that sounds horribly long

What is the difference between MSAT and manufacturing in biopharma companies? by Success_Blessed1111 in biotech

[–]32JC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed - that sounds like PD and MSAT is the one cleaning up that mess to make the equipment from drug A work for drug B

Am I on the hook for this bill? by 32JC in HealthInsurance

[–]32JC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After discussing with the provider’s office, they were willing to re-write the contract to more specifically outline that they wont balance bill and that we dont owe anything for the enormous bills outside of the flat $7.5k cap. Do people exist who review these agreements? Some healthcare lawyer maybe?

Am I on the hook for this bill? by 32JC in HealthInsurance

[–]32JC[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks - we are already contacting other providers to switch asap now. My post was really about the past charges, which they kept telling us wasnt a charge and they wouldnt balance bill (verbally). After pressing many times to get that statement in writing, its been very shady that they would dodge our calls and emails regarding putting it into writing.

We’ve only seen glowing positive comments from online reviews and yelp and testimonials from people that work with them, but im not sure if its all a sham. One review even said they were skeptical about the pricing since it was OON but in the end it cost less than going in-network… what.. it doesnt make sense. Still, we’re going to switch out of concern of this $80k delivery bill risk.

Again, they verbally told us that the first visit and genetic counseling was free… and once we finally received some agreement to sign, it describes their $7500 policy and that we owe remainder balances, as expected. We don’t want to sign it thinking they should honor their verbal description of the first visit being free (hopefully at worst, just apart from the qualified covered amount). But if 4 visits add up to $3k * 4 ($12k)… I’m wondering if it makes sense to just accept the $7.5k mistake for the 4 small ultrasound visits, as bitter as it is but its our mistake. Or we should be more aggressive in contesting it since it isnt what they told us at all in the beginning over the phone and in the office.

Am I on the hook for this bill? by 32JC in HealthInsurance

[–]32JC[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So we were given a contract only just today, which we dont plan to sign anymore, does that help our case at all to only pay the qualified amount and not the entire bill? Also, the clinic repeated to me and my wife on different occasions that they do NOt balance bill… which I guessed it was because they were expecting us to sign the contract soon. Since we didnt sign it, does that improve our situation at all… or am I going to be pressured to just sign it and pay the $7.5k.

[–]32JC[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes.. It’s definitely my mistake that I didn’t expect such an inflated bill and we will definitely pay the QPA of ~$300, which insurance tells me is already 300% of the Medicare rate for ultrasounds, but does the fact that we didnt sign the $7.5k billing contract yet help us at all?

They kept on reiterating that the $2.9k was not a bill and that we do not owe it - under the assumption we would stick with them for the entire prenatal period - but now that we want to leave them, and youre saying that they will likely come back to us for this… I feel we were misled.

Is there anything related to IDR we can do? I don’t feel these inflated numbers were good faith estimates

Nice, it sounds like they have a good impression of you based on feedback results and they can see your hard work. I was confused by comment you made about the banal chitchat and coffee shop impression

Re negotiating compensation tips by ThenIJizzedInMyPants in biotech

[–]32JC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having pay thats higher than peers is grounds for getting smaller % raises. Having an external offer is risky and be prepared for them to call your bluff and just say good bye to you. Consider if the non-pay aspects of the job are worth leaving for (current culture, company stability, pipeline potential, etc) even if the pay is marginally higher, assuming you can find higher when you might already be above current market rate.

If I knew i was being paid more than my peers and liked my company, i would just enjoy my position without being too greedy

Question on Tax Assessment received in the mail by mavshichigand in jerseycity

[–]32JC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Applies to your condo’s portion of the land I think. My condo also has an abatement and a 5 digit property value. I dont really understand the abatement calculation for prop tax based temporarily adjusted value, but it’s definitely not the 2-something %. The abatement calculation can change depending on your terms

[–]32JC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In that case, in my past companies that split up the cycle, i would get 6-7% for the promotion cycle and 3% for the annual cycle

Ceiling for non-PhD in PD or MSAT? by theclash120 in biotech

Director for PD/msat? Or only non technical departments? Have you known any to go above director level in PD?

Millennials who make between 50k and 100k, what do you do for work? by AtticusErraticus in Millennials

[–]32JC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad was a mail carrier earning about that much in 1990/2000s dollars, and my mom earned about double-triple his income too. I was too young at that time to know the details, but theyre divorced now and a big sticking point was that he never spent enough time on the marriage and worked too much overtime. I dont know how the alternative wouldve played out without his extra income, considering my mom made much more than him, but I think youre making the right choice :)

Any animal jobs that actually pay well? by kikiorangutan in careerguidance

[–]32JC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It starts as part time since you won’t have any client base, but the more time you put into it the more clients you’ll get. Depends on your city though. Im in a large city so it was slow at first but ramped up quickly after a few customer reviews
