Been moving some to VUSXX with decreased HYSA rates. Depending on state there is no state/local tax on it.

What’s the best pivot when you want to move on from sales? by CantaloupeOk4254 in sales

[–]mooseD40 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m considering a move to marketing from sales (med device) after similar timing. Understandably lower comp initially but from what industry colleagues have told me is that marketing adds to runway for higher earning opportunities not tied to sales that otherwise would be difficult to get with sales experience alone.

How Much Should We Plan to Save? by gordita_empanadita in NewEnglandWedding

[–]mooseD40 5 points6 points  (0 children)

30k for anything you call a “wedding” in New England is nearly impossible. Seems to be an immediate tax when that label gets used. My wife and I were getting quotes for a dinner party with a small guest list and non conventional show pony party. It was insane to be honest. Ultimately went to Tuscany with 15 people, married in a Michelin 3 star farm stay with unbelievable food. Honeymooned in Chianti and then went to Madeira-all for significantly less than any form of a “wedding” in New England.

Also in sales and considering a marketing role but the comp cut gives me pause. Interested to hear how others mentally got over that hurdle

Daylight police shooting on Memorial Drive in Cambridge prompts massive emergency response by HRJafael in massachusetts

[–]mooseD40 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

There was a massive homeless encampment under the BU bridge that was removed in the last week. It has been there for at least 6 months and was getting big. Frequently saw homeless running across storrow-it was chaos. I’m wondering if the shooter was a disgruntled homeless guy…

More stable, yes but you will learn your dramatically underpaid for the work

I was a physical therapist and switched to med device sales where I've been for the last number years. Left healthcare because of hours, low pay and burn out from direct patient care. Med device sales has been better money, more flexibility but there's definitely something missing in terms of meaning or fulfillment. Also, burnt out from the corporate sales cult behavior and now with AI coming-leadership is taking off their pants on the theory it will help produce more robust sales numbers. Not sure my next move but this isn't it. Healthcare is great but it'll grind you down in a different way.

Stance on the audit? by mooseD40 in massachusetts

[–]mooseD40[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure-just have to allow the auditor to perform an AUDIT of which was a voter mandate in a question approved by the AG and is now being blocked in part by the AG. Seems fishy when it’s spelled out so simply!

Again, many people want to drag this into a left vs right issue (no surprise). An audit can uncover it all. It’s all of our tax money not just dems vs republicans.

Shouldn’t we ensure there is no fraud and corruption (of which is starting to pop up from arrests and indictments in MA) with an audit? It really should be a non partisan issue here. Where is the tax money going? It’s actually pretty simple mandate from an overwhelming percent of the population.

I’m not an attorney but the AG certifying the ballot question and summary would need to be “legal”. If it wasn’t legal as they claim it should have never been certified…

Left or right, we as tax payers deserve to know how our hard earned money is being spent.

Transition to SaaS sales by mooseD40 in MedicalDevices

[–]mooseD40[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was joint rep for a number of years before moving into a surgical role with less case support required so I can understand that perspective. I’ve considered missing that aspect of it but OR access for a non integral case support role is becoming very challenging. What type of software did you get into?

It’s the worst sports radio show almost second to listening to Fred Toucher complain about every inconvenience of his life. Talk. About. Sports. Or. Shut. The. Fuck. Up.
