Have you ever worked on pharma/healthcare projects that you personally disagree with (whether i.e how they do business, their political affiliation, their drug pricing, etc)? What was that project like and how did you deal with it?

Morally yes

No, all fields and companies have ethics issues. Some are worse than others.

The Valiant style model that these companies operated though is particularly repugnant.

The regulators though continue to be asleep at the wheel. Purdue while repugnant is less to blame for the opioid crisis than the FDA and especially the DEA.

CMS missed Acthar becoming a billion dollar orphan drug. It was such a glaring miss.

Pricing. Gave honest advice

I also did projects at Rhodes which is/was the generic arm of Purdue.

PBM’s are why drug costs are often out of control and they take a disproportionate % of the sale and contribute to such a markup. The markup is baked in to keep prices and profits high.

Valiant and Mallinckrodt bought drugs and their respective competitors, then they jacked up the price. They were in most cases actually worse than Turing.

For the context of moral compass, I opted to move to Amazon.

Hadn’t noticed this sub before, and most of the threads are old so thought I’d ask a follow up - how has everyone been handling parenting with public accounting? I’ve got a toddler and my wife is an accountant (industry), and we only have a few immediate family in the country- but they have health concerns. Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
