Hey now, we don't know for sure yet whether the TYK2 inhibitor was a bad deal

Zika trials are huge/expensive since overall prevalence of the disease is low currently. If there's a huge outbreak, it'll be a perfect opportunity to test this vaccine (and others sitting on the sidelines). Not to mention the new commercial opportunity.

Trillium (Fort Point) is the best bet since you're downtown
Lamplighter (CX) to your northwest is in a great area
Democracy Brewing, to your south, is fun but closes early

I work in R&D in Boston and love it. Been with the org since 2019; variety of roles, business units, etc, and it's all been great. I imagine pay is a little higher at PFE, but industry-wide compensation blows my mind so never had any complaint about pay/benefits. The company treats its employees very well.

Culture is the single area where Takeda seems to shine. Many of my colleagues come from other large orgs and prefer being here. Obviously YMMV.

DM me if you have specific Qs.

You would already have to have the money in-hand for this to work. Otherwise, you're going to have to apply for a loan like everyone else.

But yeah, wealthy people do this all the time. They don't want to sink the equity permanently, so they make the transaction and then mortgage out whatever % they want on the back-end. Way easier, since there's no real qualification/application if you already own the property.

He blocked you. Another win for Sporty

I know him personally. Most of the people that worked under him (at a prior company) hated him and were happy to see him leave.

Yeah, exactly. I'm sure there are buyers lined up to buy out his equity stake. This entitled prick can move on whenever he wants.

None of these accusations sound compelling. These guys went from nothing to building a global juggernaut in under 15 years. Imagine how much work it took to get there. Now they're buying cars worth one 10,000th of their enterprise value. Big fucking deal.

They're all fake. Don't even think about it.

Agents will discourage you from using VA funding since it makes you less competitive against conventional financing. However, you don't necessarily have to disclose the VA origination with your OTP. You can just show the bank that has pre-approved you and not disclose the terms of your loan.

May not be the case in every state, but I've gotten away with it twice.

VA loans are not re-castable (only re-financeable), which is a con depending on your preferences. It didn't matter much before, but it limits your options when rates are generally climbing.

Pros almost always swamp the cons, though.

I have multiple DL bottles from 2010; so far, they've been excellent. I was careful about storing them correctly, though.
