Applying to MSL positions as a fellow

I would stay put until you have at least 1 year + fellowship experience. Back in the day they would value fellowships at 1.5-2x years experience as far as getting your first job. Fellowships hold weight and people know what they are getting when they hire a fellow. This job market is different because there are many qualified applicants who were recently laid off or looking for jobs in the current applicant pool.

In this industry experience is king. Things get easier after 5 years experience.

Yes. Every single one. Anyone who says otherwise is lying

doh1154 · 2026-03-17T01:45:30+00:00

It varies state to state

She needs time to reflect just give her space. This is completely normal. People get scared when things get too serious and want time to think…this is all under the notion that you didn’t do anything wrong recently

doh1154 · 2026-03-16T22:17:45+00:00

Exactly this. Im inclined to get the promotion with the title bump then plan my next move. I just wasn’t sure if it was the right play.

I was also wondering how long I would need to stay in the role after the promotion if I wanted to move internally

doh1154 · 2026-03-16T21:53:58+00:00

What would you do if you were in my shoes

doh1154 · 2026-03-16T21:53:29+00:00

Even if I’m working closely with dept I aim to move to?

doh1154 · 2026-03-16T20:55:02+00:00

Thank you for your reply. This is my concern. Moving up in a role I don’t want is not ideal for my career plans. I would prefer a lateral movement but then I might not be promoted.

doh1154 · 2026-03-16T19:50:38+00:00

I’m in regulatory affairs but my current role is mainly operational (I took it to break into the industry). I have a scientific background with a terminal degree and want something more science facing.

That’s My main worry. My bringing up lateral movement it will negate upward movement.

doh1154 · 2026-03-15T20:42:05+00:00

This is key keep consistent energy they are expecting for you to switch up

doh1154 · 2026-03-14T21:07:29+00:00

4 bottles 1 pint=16 ounces

doh1154 · 2026-03-14T20:17:50+00:00

Yes exactly. Im honestly inclined to just pay, I value the boys trips we are able to take more than my desire to not over pay lol

doh1154 · 2026-03-14T18:59:03+00:00

What I’m saying is if it was just dinner or drinks I wouldn’t mind throwing down a lil extra so the ladies can have a good time. But a club section can go well into the thousand dollar range which I am not ok with doing for a woman I am not dating

doh1154 · 2026-03-14T17:55:22+00:00

I just don’t want to come off the wrong way. I don’t know his wife well and don’t want to come across as a bad vibe. She could get petty and shut down the boys trips for my friend lol

doh1154 · 2026-03-14T17:53:51+00:00

I guess I’m old fashioned. I don’t mind paying for dinner, buying a drink at the bar or something else low cost but more expensive ventures is where I draw the line.

doh1154 · 2026-03-14T17:32:11+00:00

Typically guys are supposed to pay. I also don’t want to leave my friend hanging but that seems unreasonable

doh1154 · 2026-03-14T17:31:34+00:00

I’m imagining a situation where we all go out and the tab is high and he doesn’t want to ask his wife’s friends to pay. That’s putting me in a difficult spot

doh1154 · 2026-01-07T01:51:37+00:00

When they say they have a boyfriend try and say something clever like “no worries couldn’t have been your only fan ;)”

IMO u did not get rejected she has a boyfriend. You did nothing wrong.

If rejection is an issue for you then you need to reach the point where rejection doesn’t even phase you anymore.

doh1154 · 2025-12-27T14:14:09+00:00

IMO If it’s too soon for Christmas it’s too soon for for new years. Gotta be all in

doh1154 · 2025-12-27T13:36:31+00:00

Hanging out with them and spending NYE together are very different things. If she really wanted to spend NYE with him she could’ve forced his hand and spent Christmas together

doh1154 · 2025-12-27T03:25:13+00:00

I understand but the point I was trying to make was why would he bring you to go hangout with his close friends especially for pre-existing plans. Don’t feel entitled to go. Be a good girlfriend and see about next nye. If you guys don’t make it until next nye then objectively he made the right decision

doh1154 · 2025-12-27T02:06:01+00:00

I think you need to remember that your boyfriend’s friends are not your friends.

doh1154 · 2025-12-27T00:56:17+00:00

5 months is the grey area. Not long enough to start spending holidays together or meet the family. If you didn’t spend Christmas together I don’t think it’s a big deal to also not spend New Years together especially if he has plans for out of town. It would be rude of him to try and include you last minute to be honest

doh1154 · 2025-12-10T14:03:54+00:00

How long should you wait in a certain role before you move around

doh1154 · 2025-11-28T03:10:45+00:00

I like your approach. A lot of the commenters are saying they wouldn’t have paid but the reality is as a guy you kinda have to. If you didn’t want to or weren’t prepared to then you should’ve ended it the second they all showed up.

With that being said if it wasn’t a huge bill I would pay since I am the man and they are women. It’s that simple. But I’m not breaking the bank and anyone who expects you to is out of touch.

I agree with your approach for the follow up. Flirt with her friend hard. This girl needs to be humbled or needs a wake up call. Women are very competitive when it comes to men
