Its time you get off here, grow up and get a real job. The longer you are not working in your field the harder it is to get a job. |
OP, Mochi is one of the weight loss companies that are popping up all over. Your lifestyle will go a complete 180 - all meals catered - means you will show up before breakfast and stay long after dinner.
5 days a week on site in SF with transportation stipend = at 100K a year in SF, you will be hauling in from a suburb but at least we give you a stipend for the BART. The works sounds like what a PP mentioned - if there is a wrinkle anywhere from customer contact to delivery of medications you may be asked to troubleshoot and problem solve. The name of the game is getting more people to sign up, pay the $69/month which gets them access to the physician who signs off the prescription and an occasional visit with a dietician. The job posting is vague and full of buzzwords - you will likely be doing admin and customer service type work. Every interview is a great opportunity to practice your skills. But it sounds like this is not where you find your heart - you are trying to please your parents. If you interview and it sounds amazing and you get the job, then congrats. But if you are looking for what your parents consider a "real" career, you will find yourself making a rough commute to work long hours. |
That’s literally what OP is attempting to do. |
Like others said OP, don’t let your parents judgment of you or your anger at them make you make a rash decision against your interest to go start working at a place where you’ll be miserable. If you’re self-sufficient where you are, and able to work on your art, why not just stay there, or like others said, looking and finding something that might be a more traditional job, but is at least overlapping with your interest in art. Life is too short to do something you hate and if you do get stuck doing something you hate, your life will feel like it will never end. |
What is the longevity of this company? I thought compounded GLP-1s were going away? |
It looks like they are only a couple of years old and already being sued by Eli Lilly |
Would it be remote or in San Francisco?
SF is a very expensive place to live, starting out. Vermont has many people with artistic passions who work at jobs like you. Your path seems normal counterculture to me. Do you know this big brother? If he recommended you, he may have insights into why he thought you would be a fit. Try watching a few episodes of the TV series Silicon Valley for a crash course in the Cali startup vibe. You will also make sacrifices to get off the ground in Silicon Valley. They value brains highly so you probably meet big brother's standards for a coworker. Also be aware that startups do run out of money. Job hopping to stay afloat is normal. |
Do you want to move to California and work in downtown San Francisco? Unless this is a dream of yours, I would not relocate there. It's a tough place unless you really, really want to live there because you will make many sacrifices to just live day by day. It's expensive and fast-paced. Startups don't always work out. If you are happy where you are, look at jobs that are closer to you. This sounds like a customer service job in many ways and you could probably find something like that closer to home. The startup culture is a whole thing in itself and people sacrifice to work un one because they're looking to hit it bug. The job description is a lot of words to say nothing. Apply at the library, social services, vital revords or other local government job near you. Teach art to kids as a free-lancer. You can do customer service and phone help as part of many services and businesses. |
I hire a lot. What I want is competent, drama free person that is not overly specialized in one particular subject. Once you have that they can pretty much handle anything you throw at them. |
