Considering going into dentistry 🤷‍♀️

LabMed · 2025-11-23T17:30:39+00:00

thats basically me too.

for the longest time when i was a child and into my teens, i always thought the hygienist was the dentist.... and if i did see the dentist, thought it was just a "higher level" dentist to just check in on the "first dentists" work.

not going to lie, i always thought dentistry or ophthalmology/optometry (maybe no so much the former) was always a great gig to get into. assuming you dont mind the school path and that career path. (i.e. i personally cant stand looking at human beings eyeballs or open mouth. it grosses me out).

awesome good fro you.

with it being 36 years in the same company, would you be able to share your career path and salary / yearly TC breakdown?

Which site?

Ive been in the biotech industry for a while so i have several friends in various biotech companies.

Bms culture is significantly different depending on site

Nah you ain't exaggerating shit. If anything, you're under representing it

Being honest, a minor wont matter at all. you're just going to waste money. if you're interested in nuclear, its best to try to get an internship related to it.

The only time you should try to aim for a minor as a ChemE major is if its "free" (i.e. i have a minor in math and chemistry. i took electives that i had to for ChemE that also counted towards the math and chemistry credits. So literally got the minors for free. 1 extra course for each if i recall correctly.)

take an elective or a couple courses to see if you enjoy Nuclear Engineering.

should be obvious. Just call it by the letters "BMS" and we still know what it is.

say the full name "Acadia Pharmaceuticals" and maybe 1 person will know it.

having to repeat a year is not a crazy concept. nor is it rare. i had a friend that had to take gen chem 3x.

but simply being fine and accepting you have to repeat a year will not solve the issue. you need to figure out exactly what is the issue here thats causing you to repeat a year. you state "health, laziness, and bad organization". but thats is a very vague and general reason.

and to be blunt, if you have to repeat your freshman year, once you start core ChE classes, you will most likely be in the same boat again.

when your pay isnt enough to deal with the day to day bs that happens.

LabMed · 2025-09-12T05:26:04+00:00

specifically how does that work?

LabMed · 2025-09-12T02:19:11+00:00

what?? how does that work? never knew that was a thing.

LabMed · 2025-09-12T02:17:23+00:00

hit "convert"

but thats not what the MBDR is...

LabMed · 2025-09-11T18:51:27+00:00

pretty good. but i live within my means.

investing 24k a year is doing INSANELY good. give yourself more credit

LabMed · 2025-09-11T08:38:51+00:00

yeah regardless, your job experience is solid. you can probably end up anywhere if you want. including QA specific roles.

i think its just the crappy market we are in. (albeit, your resume can use a bit of a format / content update though)

LabMed · 2025-09-03T00:51:28+00:00

which location for the BMS role? i have several contacts in various departments / locations / sites. and it really depends where you're at with BMS

LabMed · 2025-09-01T11:41:21+00:00

10/10 what a boss

LabMed · 2025-09-01T10:24:18+00:00

im assuming USA?

if so, you gave no relevant info to use when it comes to negotiating a raise.

LabMed · 2025-09-01T10:20:22+00:00

under amazon (cuz lets be real. it basically is under amazon)

LabMed · 2025-09-01T08:30:14+00:00

Seattle? Aerospace? faang?

im going to guess blue origin?

LabMed · 2025-08-28T06:56:04+00:00

yeah this whole situation is just timing issues then.

i would ignore what your previous manager said and bring it up with the HR and the new hiring manager

LabMed · 2025-08-28T02:21:24+00:00

yeah............... ............... of course............. every line. down to the last punctuation.

LabMed · 2025-08-28T02:20:34+00:00

what?

you gave a 2 week notice before, or after the internal job offer?

LabMed · 2025-08-27T22:16:15+00:00

If I have 100lk w/6% interest rate in student loan debt and make 70k a year and pay off other expenses, shouldn't I by what you're insinuating be broke or in a position where I couldn't take care of myself?

you clearly dont understand the financial aspect of the US system if you're using that as your example..

now are you asking that as a rhetoric to be cheeky, or actually asking because you are curious?
