....a very telling thread....interesting how some folks think the LOA is just a "done deal" and that we need to move on without discussion/comment of the ramifications of it's implementation....I think those are the folks who viewed it from an almost "theoretical perspective".

Unfortunately, they'll be many guys who have to "live it" very soon....and a lot more in the future, since the company came out and told us that's where our future growth is going to be.

For all those who haven't permanently resided outside the US for 2-3 yrs at a time, it will be quite an experience under this LOA.

I don't think we'll truly know how good/bad the LOA will be for junior folks who bid an FDA, or worse, are direct-hired into FDA, until we get thru 2-3 bid cycles.

Most telling, will be to see how easy it will be to go to an FDA in the future...and more importantly, how easy to get out.
