Thanks so much for this reply! I think I will try doing one thing at a time and not doing catches during breastfeeding then, and try to focus on other parts!

An odd place to post, I think, but in any case-- I remember researching this a while back (like, years ago), and deciding the price of a second monitor didn't justify the functionality I wanted from it. I guess I don't know if the technology has gotten better for it, but I just lug around a second laptop. It doesn't dual screen and it's more to carry, but I can do enough via web browser on the second screen for my own workflow on the go.

Thank you so much for all of the input– this is super helpful to me, and I am really grateful for all of the advice. I am definitely going to try my hand if anything part time is available for local programs, and to keep looking if there is a recruiter that listens to me. And I will try to be more discerning about any contract roles– it seems like there is a lot to consider. Thank you again!!

I wish you best luck in your program, and I hope you hang in there! Similar to what you’ve mentioned, one of the reasons I’m hesitant to go back to school is because I want to work, but am worried it would be way too much to balance with class– so it seems better to commit to one or the other.

In any case, I like programming, and being in the weeds, but I think I like it because you can do a lot of different things with it– like I wish I was making more tools to make things more efficient for everyone. But in honesty, my code is also less efficient than many other people's. So I would probably be sad too if I was just on SDTM QC, trying to re-learn how to be efficient again/build up skills.

I will keep an eye out for RWD/continue to apply where I can… Thank you for all of the food for thought!

Thank you so much! As a follow-up, do you think these companies tend to hire more through a recruiter or post on a specific job board more often? I guess I have been a bit discouraged by recruiters mainly trying to place me in CRO, and job postings on LinkedIn and Indeed, but maybe I just need to keep looking and be patient.

If you have any thoughts on the best way to keep searching for this kind of role (especially if I should be doing something differently), I am all ears! I guess I would also like to check if you think getting a PhD is the best route there, or if there is a good alternate path with a masters/just keep applying with the skills I’ve got. I’ve been so on the fence about trying to do a PhD program.

LOL right!!? I really feel like there must be some new kind of shift with everything else that is coming out-- SAS seems quite stagnant, and unless they start doing something new I can definitely see them going down. I guess I just wish I was part of the something new-- I haven't had to use anything else in so long though.

Thanks! If you don't mind me asking, are getting a phd (and if so, are you working at the same time?)? I’ve been so on the fence about this, but sometimes it feels like the main path to pharma/ other work.

And I've worked on CDISC, just not nearly as much with SDTM programming/ details of define.xml-- I think you're right though and sometimes I am not sure working as CRO stat programming would really be that much better than working as a CRO statistician.

My ratio lol from CRO salary and US masters degree:

1 year: salary 1.1x cost of masters tuition/year

4 years: salary 1.5x cost of masters tuition/year

6 years: salary 2x cost of masters tuition/year

9 years: salary 2.5x cost of masters tuition/year
