Antiwork

Nobody is the boss of me.

The current job market has nothing to do with workers rising against their employers. If your goal is to change your workplace or to get a better job, you are running out of time, and the situation for you is the best it will be for decades. My purpose in this effort post is to provide a different and hopefully a much more grounded explanation for the economy you are experiencing, so that you may better plan for the future on concrete terms. Here are my main points: The current “worker shortage” is explained by the “Phillips curve”, an economic phenomenon that has been forgotten because of special circumstances these last few years. The “Great Resignation” is not happening in your field. Unless you work in the tech sector or healthcare, what is going on in your field is something else entirely, and almost assuredly it is not mass resignation…

A company does preclinical trails approached me to join them as a clinical research associate. I'm a surgical trainee about to get my masters this June, they are pushing me to start work earlier and requested me to come in for a trial. Essentially, I'll assist a surgeon to implant a medical device in an animal. I have told them I haven't worked with animals before, but they said 'we will train you' and insist to come in and have a try before even making an official offer. Today was the 2nd interview.
