I hope everyone is getting a chance to wind down and enjoy the holidays! Quick reminder: today will be the last Accountability Coffee Hour of the year. We'll pick back up in the new year.

We had a great conversation at today's Coffee Hour on navigating career change. Sharing some of the resources we talked about in hopes it helps others: - Consulting opportunities - I've worked closely with SEI (https://www.sei.com/) and regularly attend their networking events. It's a great way to "think outside the box" and explore alternative career paths - Small and Mid-cap Careers - while "Big Pharma" and "Big Tech" are undergoing layoffs and hiring freezes, start-ups and mid-size companies are receiving fresh rounds of capital to invest in growth! Check out https://www.ycombinator.com/jobs, https://beonemedicines.com/careers/, https://www.sequelmedtech.com/ and similar sites - Networking Events Reveal Broader Opportunities - join industry groups like https://iapp.org/iapp-calendar/ to hear directly from executives on speaker panels and learn the problems they're facing (i.e. what they'll be looking for in the next wave of hiring) ChatGPT can create a list tailored for your specialty or focus area. Need help? Comment in General Discussion for help with prompts to get a curated list of resources.

A couple years ago, my entire department was laid off. I later joined another company that's now undergoing mass layoffs. "Difficult" is an understatement in times like these. But you're not alone.
