Wow, didn't know your Novartis experience was that great. So, go ahead and roll around in self pitty (it can be therapeutic), do something indulgent, bitch about it to anyone who is in hearing range, vent on Cafe Pharma, dream about what you will do to your company car, and then pick yourself up and get on with life. Novartis is not worth all of the negativity you keep in your body.
Me to. It took about 6 months, which were the most difficult in my life, but I finally found something and have never looked back. It is amazing how you work you ass off when you find something again.
