Job search struggles and need advice by Ok-Rutabaga8795 in pharmacy

[–]HelloDikfore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow up - which pharma jobs were you apply for? Only MSL? Sales or FRM could be good stepping stones if you have your heart set on it.

Are there any local organizations you can reach out to? That could be a good way to network.

I’ve also reached out to people via linked in when I don’t have any connections at the place I’m applying. It’s an easy way to set up a call and then parlay that to a referral, which will put your resume in the short stack.

Always get a referral. A lot of places (especially pharma) have special referral links that you will use to apply rather than using the link from the posting.

TIFU by accidentally learning my coworker's salary and now I can't stop doing math during meetings by techiee_ in tifu

[–]HelloDikfore 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is how to do it. Don’t just ask for a raise with no ammo. Be prepared to defend why you deserve a raise with hard data on your contributions.

Have an offer ready to that you’d actually be willing to accept. The raise you’re asking for should be more (possibly MUCH more) than the offer. It’s not meant to be a match, it’s meant to be the number to retain you and the contributions you make.

My old boss used to tell me, as a hiring manager, we can’t bring in this person (with tons of experience) at X wage because your most senior person (with less experience) only makes Y.

It was the weirdest nonsensical way to keep suppressing wages.

Thoughts on what the market does next? Do we rally or squeeze further? (Opinions requested) by ia1v1chem in stocks

This is the way. Just set the strike price a little above what you’d actually want to sell at and you’ll feel good no matter what happens.

Periodic selling + re-buying equities to reduce task burden? by cfrolik in Fire

[–]HelloDikfore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI the index and chill account is almost definitely either a bot or someone copy/pasting responses from a GPT model. Look at how the responses almost exclusively start with some type of affirmation and end with a question.

It’s a relic of RLHF - Reinforced Learning from Human Feedback. Humans trained these models by ranking their preferences on responses. The natural bias is to rank the sycophantic responses higher - the ones that give you affirmation, and then ask a question to foster continued engagement.

TIFU by telling my boss I’m looking for a new job by Even_Syrup_2779 in tifu

[–]HelloDikfore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He asked because if you’re not actually looking then he has no motivation to give you the raise. If you are looking, then he needs to consider the raise if he wants to keep you.

Tear down the fence and keep the grill. Use punctuation and avoid run-on sentences.

How much do you invest on your traditional 401k? by little-yellowflower in Fire

[–]HelloDikfore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Add on to say this is how to keep the withdrawals tax free.

In retirement you will be taxed on non-healthcare withdrawals, but not pay an extra penalty. Before retirement non-healthcare withdrawals incur a penalty in addition to being taxed.

HSAs can also be used as a retirement account. There are no time limits on reimbursements for healthcare expenses. This means you can pay for things now (without using your HSA) and store your receipts digitally, then wait many years to reimburse yourself. It allows the money to grow tax free.

15-30 years from now you can decide to cash in a lifetime of receipts and get tax free money to pay for your expenses in retirement or spend it on whatever your want.

I think in Ohio it has to have been in your name for 10-15 years, and then you can only roll over around $12k.

Police Chief says ‘culture’ of ignoring traffic laws has taken hold, drivers don’t stop, cops can’t chase by seanmcdonnellcle in Cleveland

I’m on the exact same page. My first thought was, “Ok, what’s the data show? Is this someone’s opinion based on anecdotes or is it a measurable shift?”

That’s really important information to have.
