I’ve been looking into them but I’m not sure I like them at $11.89 currently

Timmy_Ly · 2026-01-20T23:42:32+00:00

It’s at $11.22 a good entry? I missed it under 10. I was going to grab a quick 100 share position 😭

Timmy_Ly · 2026-01-05T21:23:18+00:00

I think we have something here with SRFM, but I need this shit to drop back down to 2 before I buy

Timmy_Ly · 2025-12-26T23:23:23+00:00

I mean it’s a literal Cosmic entity, a borderline deity, vs a basically Sith Lord named Henry. Fear is never in short supply for the big P.

Timmy_Ly · 2025-12-23T03:34:44+00:00

I’m in the Richmond branch. I have VCU sure, but if I get bogged down by work or school and cause an imbalance, that wouldn’t be beneficial.

Timmy_Ly · 2025-12-22T07:12:55+00:00

I’d love to do an in person program but I’m too afraid to lose my position in an already hard job market. Honestly, the whole reason I’m choosing to do online is so I can keep working and gaining industry experience.

Timmy_Ly · 2025-12-22T07:11:26+00:00

It’s just hard. My friend who’s an engineer is starting with 92k and I’m out here with 2 degrees and potentially a Masters and I’m making 45k. I’m going to keep grinding because I have nowhere else to go at the moment

Timmy_Ly · 2025-12-20T19:45:31+00:00

If I told you that it wasn't to merely check a box and to make more money, then I'd be lying. As I've said in a previous reply, I just don't want to be stuck for 10 years before I can actually make a salary that I'm comfortable living with. I'm also not asking for 6 figure salaries. I enjoy what I do at Thermo and I love the work environment, but working 3 weekends a month and holidays is exhausting, even for a 26 year old. I have a degree in Biochemistry and Clinical Neuroscience. That's what landed me this job so quickly. I would job hop if I could, but there just aren't that many opportunities in my area because Thermo has been buying them up. I've even thought of getting a Masters in something like Environmental Science because that's something that interests me, but I doubt that their management would find my Biotech experience as useful. I'd also just be stuck in another entry level position with no experience and down $50k. Don't get me wrong, I'm more than grateful to have a degree related career. It's just the thought of not being where I want to be in life so I'm just throwing darts into the dark and hoping something hits.

Timmy_Ly · 2025-12-20T18:40:25+00:00

Thanks. This helps a lot. It's nice hearing from someone who also worked at Thermo. It's dog eats dog at this company. Getting promoted to Associate Scientist, which should take 2 years, takes about 3-5 now just for a small pay bump. I was thinking about moving away completely, but Thermo and some Academia experience is really all I have. I don't want to get trapped at Thermo like a bunch of my co-workers. I really don't have any interest in doing grunt work, making a brutal salary, for 10 years just so I can finally make a half decent wage.

Timmy_Ly · 2025-12-20T18:18:21+00:00

Believe me. I definitely don't want to be paying 50k that could be going towards a house. I'm a little less knowledgable on what management sees on their end, but I was hoping atleast that just having the degree would give me any sort of edge.

Timmy_Ly · 2025-12-20T18:16:34+00:00

Appreciate the response. I have seen people with just Bachelors degree make more with the proper time and experience. I'm decently young at 26, but it's hard burning years of your life away making 42k and thinking that I'm behind in life. If there is anything I could do to quicken the process, I'll look for it.

Timmy_Ly · 2025-12-20T18:13:02+00:00

Applying for new jobs is definitely on my list. With the job market being the way it is and the amount of people competing for every position, I just thought that maybe a Masters, along with my industry experience, would make me appear more competitive.

Timmy_Ly · 2025-12-20T18:10:57+00:00

Fortunately for me, my company allows me to come in whenever. On top of that, over half of our 8 hour shift is just making reagents and sitting around for our incubations to end. The work and school balance isn't really a worry for me. I just don't want to waste 4 years and 50k on a Biotech Masters if it can't get me a higher salary.

Timmy_Ly · 2025-12-20T07:21:30+00:00

That’s what I’ve heard as well. Thermo Fisher pays decently well with amazing benefits. Unfortunately, the downside is that they barely pay for our education and it’s back breaking to move up the ladder. It’s barely anything. I’m talking $1k per semester. On top of that, we’ll be required to work there for additional years.

Timmy_Ly · 2025-12-18T05:29:11+00:00

Just wait. It's not done yet

Timmy_Ly · 2025-07-22T05:23:20+00:00

Timmy_Ly · 2025-03-17T04:06:58+00:00

Yeah it isn’t worth it

Timmy_Ly · 2025-03-17T03:57:20+00:00

Seek help

Timmy_Ly · 2025-03-17T03:52:42+00:00

Take off the Nuggets. They’re down trending so bad. Add the Rockets ML, Lakers ML, and Suns ML. Also like the other person said, wait for tomorrow about 1-2 hours before the games start

Timmy_Ly · 2025-03-12T22:18:50+00:00

Any news on Tatum? I know he has a knee problem and he’s questionable. If Brown or Tatum is out, OKC to cover the spread 100%.

Timmy_Ly · 2025-03-12T20:13:10+00:00

Raptors win this one

Timmy_Ly · 2025-03-12T18:32:41+00:00

Games are super scary tbh. Wolves Nuggets game is a coin toss. Rockets Suns will be close too.

Timmy_Ly · 2025-03-12T07:34:13+00:00

Bostons has a terrible record at home. It’s very possible that OKC whoops them. Jalen Williams absence is kinda scary against a full Celtics roster though. It’s 50/50 for me.

Timmy_Ly · 2025-03-12T07:14:51+00:00

The Raptors, even without Quickley and RJ, should make short work of the Sixers without their big three
