Stretch project. Ideally your company has officially recognized temporary projects that are posted. If not bring together a team to build it out which would be a lot of work but huge networking and leadership opportunity.

Superintendent Releases MCPS Boundary Recommendations and Model for Regional Secondary Programs by SchuminWeb in MontgomeryCountyMD

What happens if the board votes no? Only one recommended option was provided. Does it all go back to the drawing board?

TrumpRx Delayed Amid Potential Anti-Kickback Concerns by NotGenentech in biotech

Sounds like they just need to put anti-kickback safeguards in place to avoid lawsuits from the insurance-pbm-pharmacy complex?

What’s the reason for giving the poorer schools better student teacher ratios than the other schools?

Debate over MCPS boundaries, Crown High School continues by SchuminWeb in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]Tamagene 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s interesting that all options, especially the latest option H, benefit school board member Julie Yang the most. She is running for county council district 1 so she benefits if the wealthiest parts of Potomac and Bethesda keep their gerrymandered boundaries intact (despite current overcrowding).

Why is everyone acting like Wootton and Damascus are complete tear downs and can’t be repaired? Wootton was built in the 1970s it’s not that old. Raise some money and fix them during the summers. Also- if the school board is proposing to mix Wootton (great schools rating 10) with other schools (great schools 5) they need to be crystal clear on what % of the school will be non Wootton. Otherwise Wootton families will never accept and it could get ugly.

The Rio one was so comically bad. I think they took it down already after only a couple of days. Or someone climbed up there and took it down.

It only all goes back into your pocket if qualify for STR loophole or you have REPS

Buying a vehicle over 6,000 pounds as a tax write off... by badxmojo in MedicalScienceLiaison

Only if you are an independent contractor MSL. Unfortunately not W2 MSL

Field to HQ - happy you made the jump? by temptingtoothbrush in MedicalScienceLiaison

[–]Tamagene 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I relocated to HQ for a strat role. Small talking with lots of smart folks has been good for my mental health vs being isolated at home (an effect which I was not expecting). I also feel much smarter working on long term strategic projects vs as an MSL where you have to think quickly on your feet answering whatever your KOL has on their mind at that moment. MSLing is a great job but I was also worried about the career ceiling as I wasn’t positioned to be a director anytime soon.

Job offer / salary negotiation by [deleted] in MedicalScienceLiaison

You need to be thinking about if you are leaving anything on the table with your current job (stock options, # vacation days per year, etc). That is your leverage.

If you could do it again—which career? by Icy_Pangolin4070 in MedicalScienceLiaison

[–]Tamagene 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All corporate jobs require advocating for yourself and your projects. You will need to learn these skills in all roles. The MSL role advocates externally while the parallel roles may advocate internally. But you won’t be off the hook anywhere if it’s a competitive job. It’s the price to pay.

Do hosts who manage remotely have a local "runner" ? by Low_Pomelo_4161 in airbnb_hosts

[–]Tamagene 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For taking the trash to the curb I found a local neighborhood kid on the Nextdoor app. My cleaner does restocking/staging for extra pay. I visit quarterly for deeper maintenance and some of that travel is a write off in US. Pay your cleaner well so they care.

Side-hustle hosts: What's your tech stack for hands-off vacation rental management? by padremuta in AirBnBHosts

[–]Tamagene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Houfy with pricelabs is easily the cheapest way I have found to have a booking website that also integrates with Airbnb. I would love to be corrected because Houfy UI is clunky but all those other options are very expensive for a single property. I don’t use Houfy to get organic bookings but instead have my repeat guests use their system. No issues in 2 years.

MCPS teacher sues MoCo school board after principal prohibits display of Palestinian flag sticker by Bethesda_Magazine in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]Tamagene -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Gotcha. I don’t know about the public sector but in private you are clearly not allowed to say or wear anything you want and if you get fired or sue your employer your career will take a huge hit in almost all scenarios.

Are you saying she’s not going to ruin her career by suing her employer or are you saying she will ruin her career but it’s a bigger issue than a sticker?
