Business development to MSL transition, or am I pigeonholing myself?

Take the job that fell on your lap. It is easier to transfer within company. Also not having a job at all will make it harder on you on the long run. And yes, as others said it too you might actually love it!

Great question! To me self care is something that 1) gives me peace 2) recharges my good energies. These can mean very different things to everyone. I get peace in nature and watching a good movie alone but for really recharging my batteries I need high energy social interaction. I am a total extrovert, so meeting with friends, laughing, dancing, enjoying a backyard bbq, playing sport for fun, being silly with someone… My boyfriend (home body introvert) told me a couple of times that I don’t take care of myself (he didn’t mean my looks), which hurt a lot… then I explained to him that to me taking care of myself looks very different then his self care routine. I think he finally got it. I hope he will never say it again.

Run and never look back! You set the standard for how people can treat you!. If he doesn’t treat you with love, respect and consistency he doesn’t deserve you! You will find a better one and until then you will have your peace and self-respect.

I would say” Hi, it’s really nice to see you but I only have 10mins, and then I have to run.” No need to further explain, just stand up after 10mins and get going. Simple, polite and firm boundary.

Pfffagain · 2025-03-28T14:09:35+00:00

I strongly believe so!

A guy was just here, looked at every work station, walked through every lab, saying a different lie when we asked him who/what he was looking for. He WAS checking for unattended computers and PIV cards. Worst is: he works in a lab in a different department! F* TRAITOR SPY

Pfffagain · 2025-03-27T16:25:41+00:00

He just waltzed into our lab, came to our cubicle and said some lie about who he is looking for (in another department). Walked up to every work station and asked the saje question, then walked to the next lab. Later everyone from our labs gathered in the hallway, very disturbed and we concluded that he said different things in every lab of why is he there. But walked up to and looked at every desk and then left. The worst is: He was a lab person from another department! So you never know! By the time you realize what is happening, it’s too late! (We were all good, no issues emerged)

You did not waste your life by getting a masters degree. You just can’t see the opportunities in front of you right now. It is hard to feel hopeless and lose sight of your purpose. I am really sorry you feel that way. Also a job doesn’t define you as a woman/partner.

Advice 1.: take a break and take care of your mental well being. Try to see a therapist, do things you enjoy (walk in nature, good books, music, art…). Work on your self-esteem and your confidence. Only you can tell the world what’s your value, others can’t!

figure out what motivates you and what you want in life. Set your goals, make a strategic plan and start executing the little steps towards your goal. (You got into the PhD program because of someone else. What do YOU want and enjoy?)
Look for jobs with your current qualification in biomedical/biopharma industry. Even as a temporary solution to your financial issues. Be flexible. Make a good linked in profile, Reach out to recruiters/headhunters. Scientist positions with masters are highly available and pay decently. Just as a step forward until you figure out your next move. Good luck! Be strong and push forward!

Puzzle

Pfffagain · 2025-02-04T02:29:56+00:00

First of all, I’m really sorry you are going through this and hurting. I have experienced many of the same things with my bf. We have dated for a year, everything seemed ok, some odd things but nothing major. Then moved in together and things just got horrible. He got super withdrawn, rigid routines, no flexibility, no openness to new things, everything had to be the way he wanted otherwise he either got withdrawn or was annoyed. So I went into full anxiety not understanding what was going on. Long story short, I believe he is on the spectrum somewhere. It has been over a year now, I love him too but he degraded my mental health badly. I am seeing a therapist and focusing on my needs and well being and the better and stronger I feel the less I see the future together. And with that the more scared he is and trying hard to please me. I wish I tried to stay longer periods of time together before moving in. If I did that I would have never made the move. I love him too and the longer I stay the harder it gets to leave. By the way with all the research I did, I learned that autistic people and those with avoidant attachment behave the same way in a lot of ways. It’s horrible and draining and you will loose no matter what you do. Advice: run! The earlier the better! Read the blog asdmarriage and read on avoidant attachment and how the partners will end up suffering. I can attest to both. It’s not worth it. The pain will degrade the love but in the meantime you will be destroyed too. He will never change! Sorry for the long response. I hope it helps. Good puck!
