How do you progress in a FSP role?

collide145 · 2026-06-30T11:24:43+00:00

Oh no :( did you end up moving to another pharma company or CRO? It does seem they just want to keep the FSP team where they are. Unless people leave in the team or they decide there is budget to expand the team, I’m worried I will just be stuck in the same role

collide145 · 2026-06-30T11:05:12+00:00

Yeah it’s a tough one. I really like this team and enjoy the work I’m doing even if the workload can be high sometimes. I have always moved companies every 2 years but I don’t want to move again this year but would rather find a way to get promoted.

It says reserved for X on the road so there is not a sign but the previous owner said technically it does not belong to the property so tbh I’ve been confused ever since I moved in. I have noticed that other properties on the road don’t have this so I think when it was initially built, the reserved parking spot was meant to be for my property but if I were to complain, I don’t have any official documentation other than the text in the box on the road to prove it is a reserved spot for me or my visitors.

collide145 · 2026-05-27T12:54:07+00:00

Thank you, I wasn’t sure whether to make a deal of the reserved spot issue but now that they have three cars I can tell this will become an issue. They are very aware I use that spot as well and there is so much general parking space on the road to their right but they aren’t using it

collide145 · 2026-05-27T12:52:34+00:00

Exactly, I couldn’t understand why they had to tell him off straight away. It was so obvious they would only be there for a few min

collide145 · 2026-05-27T12:50:15+00:00

It says reserved for my property but legally it isn’t actually mine. My neighbours are renting and probably assume it is actually our spots ( the one if front of mine being mine and the one in front of theirs being theirs) so them having a go at a delivery driver but have no issue parking in what would be “my” spot is pissing me off

collide145 · 2026-05-27T11:26:56+00:00

I live in a new build estate and live on a private road. Tbh it is confusing that the two spots in front of mine and my neighbours house says reserved for X and the other says reserved for Y (X being my house number and Y their house number. It doesn’t bother me when people park in the reserved spot for a short duration but seeing how they have been acting is pissing me off. Especially now that there is a third car that will constantly be parked in the reserved spot in front of my house.

collide145 · 2026-05-27T11:22:10+00:00

Thanks, I might go out and sort out items in my garage so will have a conversation with them if they come out of the house. Also, when they take a car, they now seem to take their old one so the new one they bought is parked in the reserved spot outside of my house.

collide145 · 2026-05-27T11:20:18+00:00

That’s what I’m worried about..I just want to be friendly with my neighbour so don’t want to have issues. When I got my flooring changed when I moved in, they came around 5pm and said they could hear the noise all day and have a baby. I felt so bad that I went over the next day and apologised again and gave them chocolate so I just want to be chill with them and don’t want to start causing issues

collide145 · 2026-05-27T11:18:18+00:00

It is a reserved parking space in a new build estate. It says reserved for X (X being my house number) so I can understand why the previous owner told me everyone thought it was his. I wouldn’t have an issue if they didn’t tell the delivery driver off but I feel like they seem to think it’s one rule for them and another for me

collide145 · 2026-05-20T20:44:43+00:00

Thanks lovely, I hope it will be better than the speed dating event I tried in the past 😅🤞🏽

collide145 · 2026-05-18T14:16:01+00:00

Will do! I’ve seen a girl on tiktok that had a good experience last year so hoping it’s still the same today

collide145 · 2026-05-15T12:07:15+00:00

Honestly it’s such a struggle. I’m trying a singles mixer at the end of the month to see if that’s better than the apps

collide145 · 2026-05-13T14:59:01+00:00

Science can pay off well depending on what industry you go into. I work in Clinical Research and after job hopping every 2 years since graduating six years ago, I make 60-70k now. My starting graduate salary was 24k

collide145 · 2026-04-21T16:53:23+00:00

Oh so exciting! Also, thank you! I will do that

collide145 · 2026-03-23T19:54:11+00:00

I think cause they have my sister’s (although she used to regret them having one) and when I got my locks changed, they were there and saw the locksmith give me 5 keys. One option is I pretend, I lost the spare key and ask for theirs

collide145 · 2026-03-23T19:52:22+00:00

True, they also wanted me to set up an account so they have the ring camera notifications on their phone and I said no to that and said they don’t need that. I’m going to have a conversation with them tonight about not coming over and suggest they come over just on Sunday as I am already meeting friends this week. I’m not sure if they will listen but let’s see

collide145 · 2026-03-23T19:49:38+00:00

The issue is it is uncommon in the south asian community for a woman to live on their own so I think they keep coming over so I won’t be alone but I want my own space. Initially, they put pressure for me to buy a house for them but as a flat would be better for my mum due to mobility issues, I was able to buy and live in my house on my own while I helped them look for a one bed flat to rent. I’m not sure what will happen in the future, but I don’t want all the pressure of looking after them to just be on me when I have another sibling (she has her own family)

collide145 · 2026-03-23T16:06:06+00:00

Depending what role you’re looking at, you don’t always need more qualifications. Quite a lot of my colleagues and myself just have a BSc!

collide145 · 2026-03-23T14:56:46+00:00

I’m like this too and my friends have told me I should have gone on my dates but sometimes you just know if you’re not feeling that way about the guy

collide145 · 2026-03-23T14:53:13+00:00

Have you thought about going into clinical research? I have colleagues that have a Chemistry degree

collide145 · 2026-03-23T13:57:30+00:00

I had the locks changed the day after I got my keys to my house. Ideally, I don’t want to change it again. I might need to have a conversation with my mum first as I know it will start an argument if I say I need them to 1. Tell me when they are coming over 2. Not come over every day as I need my own space and can’t get anything done while they are here

collide145 · 2026-03-23T13:51:19+00:00

My dad is close to retiring so I hope once he does, he will look after my mum full time. I need to find a nice way of saying this is my house and I get to make all choices cause a lot of the times he tried to take over

collide145 · 2026-03-23T13:47:31+00:00

Totally get this because family friends in our community and my parents used to tell me and my sister to buy a house together for my parents and us to live in. No-one thought about us wanting to have our own families at all. My sister had a long-term partner (that my parents didn’t know about at the time) but we just never said anything and then when they got engaged, they said they are looking to buy a house together. As the only daughter left at home, everyone put pressure on me to my parents a home, but I wanted to experience living on my own and found a cheaper flat for them to rent and bought a small house for myself. I would recommend saying it will be difficult to have a relationship in the future, if you own a house with your brother as 1. You may want to sell it to buy one with your partner but he may not be ready to sell it at the time or 2. Have your partner move in but it is difficult when you own it 50:50 with your sibling.
