i sneaked out for an interview during lunch time today. a week back, i got a call from this agency looking for candidates for a cra position. sent my resume but din get a response from them till yesterday. i have tot of leaving my current job but the desire was not very strong. and since people come looking for me instead, i tot i would just go and test my value (ya... i up the salary requirement by 1k and she say its acceptable!). apparently this ang mo agent was previously a cra and we shared our experiences and difficulties in running clinical trials. it was a nice chitchat session. at one point, she asked me where do i see myself in 5 yrs time... v standard interview qn but this time round, i couldnt give her an answer but merely gave her a cheeky laugh. seriously, i have not tot about this. u noe, after going 1 big round, i have reached the crossroads again. i'm not sure if i wan to go back to lab or continue in the pharma industry. if i go back to the lab, i will be a pauper again LOL and i will spend hours washing testtubes *hohoho* but there will be an upgrade of qualification and i will be able to do my own research (e.g. transgenic mariju*na that can massively reproduce without using much resources *HAHAHA* jokin la!). if i continue in pharma, it will be tougher work since i will be looking forward to venture into late phase studies. and cro position requires much travelling. and that means i will deviate further from what i studied and what i always yearn to be since young. tsk tsk... i wish i wasnt given any chance at all to make choices in life. serious.
