^^^ Good lanyard game with that.

Or just wear lots of sunscreen and become a pale ontologist?

Would genuinely say you sound like the guy to design niche audio electronica that primarily uses wood instead of plastic to help the environment…

I don’t think Elves enjoy food, it’s part of the curse of endless life. Hence Lembas bread: lovely tasting crackers.

@laelfy I was going to suggest maybe become a Business Architect for a medical insurance firm as you might find being in the software cycle interesting, but you’ve done the big pharma thing so it probably wouldn’t appeal.

Teaching is something most of my friends who’ve re-careered themselves have done, usually in the field of 6th Form stuff or teaching English as a foreign language. Not sure there’s a great deal of money in it, though.

I think that’s fair enough. With it being a relatively new role in the UK I can understand hesitancy in pursuing it in an area where it may not have extended to much yet. Ours is run by Bolton I think with placements all over Greater Manchester. As far as I know it tends to be a generalist role, I dont know much about whether there are any routes into oncology tbh?

I’ve worked with someone who previously held a clinical role in a London A&E though and we have one employed in our practice now who came through the MSc course we’re involved in running who works alongside the GP team seeing undifferentiated need.

He was clearly the best on the course though, and it’s a reflection of his capabilities (some were nowhere near this level) and an element of luck in knowing a forward thinking practice willing to broaden their skill mix. Being relatively early, there’s opportunity as well as risk and good PA’s are able to shape the role with the right employer.

Like you, I’m watching and waiting currently as it’s not currently the right time for me to be starting another degree…

All jobs are wank so whichever you can get that pays you the most for the least hours. Include travel when thinking about hours.

Are you looking to come completely out of the lifesciences/pharma sector?

Some consulting roles in and around the area could be decent, but not sure that gives you an easier life necessarily.

To be honest I don’t know right now. I want to work in a nice office doing vaguely stimulating but ultimately not stressful work. This probably doesn’t exist or if it does is hard to find :woman_shrugging:

Civil service 100% pal, if you can find the right division or team for your interests and if the pay matches what you want. The flexibility is pretty nuts - I know people that work 7-3, 9-5, 11-7, go out for 2 hour lunches, work 9 day fortnights and take every second Friday off, rock up at different times every day depending purely on when they naturally wake up and so on

Was about to suggest something pretty similar to this. Our environmental department sounds very interesting and they dictate their own hours (WHICH IS WHY I CAN NEVER GET THE PRICKS ON THE PHONE WHEN I NEED THEM) *ahem*
