Wonderful, groundbreaking research, led by my friend Hans Schroder, shows that framing depression as purposeful, not pathological, has better therapeutic outcomes. Continuing to promote the dysfunction/disease/chemical imbalance paradigm is becoming a serious moral problem.
Your manager should be able to tell you:
Why you get paid the amount you do
Which comp surveys the firm relies on

A grad school bound student asked if I had any advice. Like many students w this opportunity, she is bright, ambitious, and prepared. So, I had only two pieces of advice:
