Boris is going
He wants me to be there when he meets you but I've told him he should go spend some time with you solo. You'd have fun!
I need career advice. Can I call you on the 30th? Will meet with Bill on Dec 10. Big re-org at foundation, poverty stuff not as fun/challenging for me as science. Also enjoy doing more neurosurgery. I enjoy working at the public hospitals and providing the best care possible for folks who couldn't otherwise afford it. Want to do half time neuro and half time science philanthropy. The most neuro I can do in one yr is 4 months (thats how academics works). Bill doesnt really do science philanthropy except through nathan and his org is not somewhere I would thrive. I will have to ro ose something to bill, or leave foundation and look for other science philanthropy iob bu f course I want to support him which means finding something Seattle based but super flexible. I feel like I have 3 to 5 years of creativity left. My brain isn't yet ready to pack it in. Plus I look DAMN GOOD (haha). I can always try to make it work at foundation on poverty issues in a big org and feel really out of place. Im struggling.
I make about 225K per year these days. Foundation, doctoring and publications. I should be making 500 to 600K like my colleagues with similar skills but Im happy at the public hospital since I feel like the poorest should get the best even if they can't pay. Id work for free for them if I could.
also help my
needed. Last year it was about 25K, this year closer to 35K. I also pay for my car, clothes, health etc. I support 2 orphans in at about 10K or 15K per year and spend another 15K to support the tiny project I It provides basic tools like learning heart sounds or how to do basic resuscitation for docs in developing countries. I spend 10K per year supporting medical student associations in Nepal, China, Uganda and Tanzania.
He does support me if I ask for something but of course he's supporting his and since I am employed (and have some basic skills) I feel like I shouldn't be someone's dependent. I try to save everything else. I have 250K in my 401k and 150K in savings. Lease my car (short attention span). I like watches so every few years I buy one.
Does that help?
What arc your financial needs. ? How much do you earn from the foundation currently. Does support you. ?
how much is foundation salary, benefits? etc, same for doctoring. after taxes your 225 is 150, you and proje 30 . that leaves . 20k for year. How old are you now?:
I would really like to be my own woman in terms of financial success. I have some solid medical research ideas but those make no money. I can write one or two non-textbook books (and probably will) but those also make no money. I have an idea for a cool business that has been brewing for 10 years but not sure it would work - seems foolish to drop everything for a silly idea.
I currently run 4 portfolios as part of special initiatives, which is about 300M. There are 44 grants spanning 53 countries and 150+ cities. I manage all aspects and do it solo with one admin staff and outsourced legal. My payout is about 80M annually. I also publish at least 10 scientific peer reviewed articles and a monthly column (under a fake name) for the FT [REDACTED] Neurosurgery and Neurology and have two board certifications. I speak a little bit of a lot of languages. I've spent at least part of every year over the last (gasp) 20 years in crappy countries trying to help, whether through the UN, the Foundation or my own efforts. [REDACTED] and I feel like I've given a few orphans, unprivileged med students and those with less than me a little tiny helping hand so they can grow up to have options.
I've got a small skill set. I have managed to do ok and am proud that I have completely earned everything. No fakeness or games.
Now I feel like I've got some karma in the bank and I want to do good things. Big big good things. Id like to be the first woman to do "X" in a way that I can be very wealthy and put money to work in smart ways. I know a few things I could do right now if I had my own money, stuff that would matter and generate more money and new science
I thought when I tumedM would run out of ideas or that science would pass me up and I would not understand it. Instead, I feel like I have powerful ideas and the experience to know what will work and what is interesting.
