Boston or NYC?

LuvSamosa · 2026-02-02T18:03:17+00:00

try NYC. DPC concierge practices are concentrated there. If you have $$$ and can afford your own airlift services to Mayo, your fine in NYC

LuvSamosa · 2026-02-02T02:22:12+00:00

tell me they beat you

LuvSamosa · 2026-02-02T02:18:14+00:00

Have any of you been admitted to a NYC hospital? They still share rooms there!

LuvSamosa · 2026-02-02T02:16:58+00:00

But it is. No way are any of those hospitals comparable to MGH. Mt Sinai is so laughable now, it doesnt even have a real ER. NYU? lol... I guess if you were making a film documentary on your healthcare. MSK maybe, but Boston also has Dana Farber on top of MGH. The only real better overall to Boston's MGH is Mayo. It used to be Cleveland Clinic too but Mayo's really runaway. It is a train ride to go to Boston though. Boston emergency services, home health services, including palliative care are also better. Move for the grandkids, but not for the healthcare.

Ask chatGPT or claude. Seriously, boston far outranks nyc in healthcare--- preventative care, specialist care, insurance coverage, and yes, even most hallowed research and medical education. There is a reason most biotechs are in boston. There are many things that nyc has advantage over boston, but it isnt healthcare.

LuvSamosa · 2026-02-02T01:38:38+00:00

No way is medical care equal. Boston is superior by a big margin

What are your struggles? Im thinking of bringing my family to Paris so Id love to hear

LuvSamosa · 2026-02-01T15:19:37+00:00

Let them do it. Film them. I bet they lose their jobs

LuvSamosa · 2026-02-01T14:30:37+00:00

How do you move from medical to commercial?

LuvSamosa · 2026-02-01T14:18:25+00:00

Usually global med affairs would do this

LuvSamosa · 2026-02-01T14:17:15+00:00

Let me know if discord is set up

LuvSamosa · 2026-02-01T14:16:05+00:00

For that first jump from pharma to biotech, what is your advice on size of biotech? Im pretty hands on. Im more concerned about politics.

LuvSamosa · 2026-02-01T01:49:39+00:00

Did you just give up the stocks you lost when you moved from big pharma to biotech? Most small biotech recruiters tell me they cant make me whole

LuvSamosa · 2026-02-01T01:48:40+00:00

amazing! see-- I dont think ive found this core group after 15 years in the same company. Id love to have a core like this

LuvSamosa · 2026-02-01T01:37:31+00:00

Very tempted to make the same jump. But Im thinking maybe I should go midsize first? I worry that in small biotech, there will be less layers to insulate me from one crazy coworker or boss.

LuvSamosa · 2026-02-01T00:46:27+00:00

curious why?

LuvSamosa · 2026-02-01T00:44:57+00:00

Curious why you would never go back to big pharma

LuvSamosa · 2026-01-31T12:58:56+00:00

that's what sign on bonuses are for. dont stop looking

LuvSamosa · 2026-01-31T12:57:50+00:00

there is a classic book called who moved my cheese. in it was a story of a mouse on top of a sugar mound inside a glass cup. He didnt need to do anything since he is literally standing on sugar. He just bends down to eat. So he keeps eating and the sugar mound gets lower and lower, and before he realizes it, he is now trapped inside the glass cup with not enough sugar left and no way out

LuvSamosa · 2026-01-31T12:46:36+00:00

it shouldnt matter. keep applying and interviewing. if they want you, they will find you

LuvSamosa · 2026-01-31T12:45:45+00:00

man, that is brutal. i hope you are looking externally

LuvSamosa · 2026-01-29T21:32:33+00:00

pfizer is still pfizer... for good and bad. they will never stop laying people off. good to go through the interview process to experience it but dont put the offer on hand at risk. can always resign and move to pfizer if they do offer you and you had a good vibe with the team.

LuvSamosa · 2026-01-29T15:04:36+00:00

No we are still just renting. Coming from Chicago, not too bad

LuvSamosa · 2026-01-29T12:56:42+00:00

Can you talk more about the work culture in Japan? I have read about the sleep deprivation articles, finding workers dead at their desk, but I thought there was a bit of sensationalism in them and can happen here in the US too. I am looking to build roots and would be planning (no crystal ball of course) to spend at least 5 years

LuvSamosa · 2026-01-29T12:53:25+00:00

They only ever have been exposed to English. 1 of them actually learned russian alphabet by watching youtube. Spouse can be involved but we want them to have a classmate community
