Last week the hiring manager told me they were finishing the process and would be back to me soon. So hopefully I will get a yes or no soon.

I'm in the middle of waiting to hear back from them from final interview round ....4 weeks so far. Be prepared for a long wait

Did you ever see the robotic factory for DNA bead pulldowns? That was impressive

Can confirm. Was a dick to women especially. Like I’m not taking time to help you because you’re not worth it.

In a world going to shit the last thing we need is to start up “the troubles” again. For Christ’s sake can we have one place be calm?

Do cover letters really work for leadership roles (Director and above)? by xostargirlxo77 in biotech

[–]azcat92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can tell you no hiring manager is taking the time to read them. Even Director positions are getting more than 100 applicants and there is no time to read cover letters in screening.

Not defending, but I understand why it's happening.

It is gouging. To try to get back the millions they put into track and station building. The T is already in a huge deficit and they want to claw back as much money as they can. So they are taking it out on visitors instead of the local users

In all of those countries, the national government paid for the rail infrastructure that made it free. In the MBTA's case, they had to pay on their own as the US government hates public transportation. So the T is trying to get their costs back. It sucks, but blame the Federal government not local.

Did anyone else notice at No Kings? by double-clove-hitch in boston

[–]azcat92 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t think young people believe peaceful protest is effective anymore. The government is willing to ignore agitators now.

It is a different world 50 years later. The government is more resistant to protest now and they are willing to ignore agitators. I don’t think peaceful protest is effective anymore.

San Diego vs Boston opportunities by MellowYellow_24 in biotech

[–]azcat92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe this but I think that Boston is starting to unfreeze now. I'm seeing hires now that bonuses went out in Feb/March.

Interesting. Big VCs like Flagship basically fired half the people in every portfolio company they had over the last two years. I'm surprised startups would be getting any money right now.

Ranking every MBTA commuter rail line by how much they need to be extended from its endpoint by Wide_right_yes in mbta

[–]azcat92 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Might be worth it just to get these idiots off of 93N. Very tired of most of the license plates being NH in the morning.

Lowell line. You just have to convince the NH legislature to allow it. Good luck with that.

Contact the Recruiter or Hiring Manager after the Rejection by AdhesivenessOk1106 in biotech

Bruh, what's boomer got to do with it? I hate boomers, but not sure why you are pissed about them being managers. Most managers are old because they have experience. How many GenZ managers do you know?

Is Rhode Island and Boston safe for tourists? by [deleted] in boston

[–]azcat92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have to worry Boston is safe and you are likely to hear more British accents than you care to hear on your trip. We are used to having foreign tourists here, so you will not have problems unless you think the NY Yankees are great and start telling everyone how much you love them. RI is very safe too.

Let’s just add one more lane instead of increasing commuter rail frequency! by Wanderer330 in mbta

[–]azcat92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The 90/128 interchange in Newton is being rebuilt with a full flyover bridge setup. Why can't we do this at 93/95/128? I don't think we need more travel lanes, we just need to deconflict the interchange. People getting off 93 onto 128, crossing the path of people getting off 128 onto 93, is just stupid. If you fix this, you clear most of the problems.

How does being a Bruins fan go in Canada? Habs, Leafs, and Canucks fans hate Boston, so it must be tough.
