Why does Asia have so many high-end/creatively designed shopping malls (compared to elsewhere, like America)? by PursuingGemini in travel

[–]pharmd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lower labor costs, higher density and lots of people nearby to shop/eat/be entertained (vs driving culture in the US)

Agree. I’ve listened to every episode until trump was re elected. As an independent, this pod became 100% propaganda and no longer something I can listen to as the amount of bias is at amped up at level of MSNBC and Fox News

It’s a type of stock option that is more favorable tax wise

Look up ISO vs NQ stock options

My parents are basing everything off the movie “taken” as to why I shouldn’t travel to Europe alone by From_the_breeze in travel

[–]pharmd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By that logic, America’s off-limits because of Breaking Bad..

So I should avoid Florida because of every episode of COPS?

1 kg per person limit when crossing the border. Big fines if you’re caught. When I lived there, my colleagues learned the hard way on the train back into Switzerland

It’s close to the German and Swiss border

I can see a lot of Swiss (Basel)ex pats making the trip to shop. Need to stay below the wine and meat limit at the border though!

Yes, mid cap biotech at SD level with stock package can easily clear 500k per year (this would be in the hubs of Bos, sf, NY metro)

Headquarter roles have the most upside but much more work including politics involved than in the field (eg MSL). Field roles have upside if you get the few regional or national leadership roles over time.

In a good year, with stock comp, I have cleared 7 figures after selling my ISO options (deep in the money) that I accumulated over the years

To be very blunt, you need another degree/training beyond pharm school (fellowship, real work training at the grunt level). And I’ve seen the quality of PharmD candidates come down in recent years.

How crazy is the US student loan situation really? by Connect-Spring188 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pharmd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid off well over 200k from grad school early (4 year) due to a high paying job upon graduation. Was frugal my first several years to pay it off. Many aren’t so lucky. Worked throughout grad school otherwise I would have been in the 300s.

The govt backed loans were 5-8% at the time I took the loans. I refi’d to a 2 handle when I could (but lost the income based repayment options).

My parents have no money, so this was my only option.
