I love this community. I have been on here years and it became one of the very few forums where I decided to finally stop lurking and make an account. It is extremely well moderatet, the discussion are on an amazing level. Topics are fantastic.

To all of you: thank you so much and a very merry christmas! I hope you are doing fine.

From my short 1 month experiene working in a clinical ward: if young people got brought in due to a psychosis, in the case that it was drug induced, at least 50% were long term cannabis users (followed by alcohol abuse, then some psychoactive drugs, and heroin/crack).

Cannabis definitely is not the vanilla drug so many people make it out to be.

*EDIT: I get the selection bias now, sorry.

As far as my experience goes, you cannot really take retroactive actions into account. It's extremely bothersome for the parties involved, and they usually choose to fight it out over all instances, since untangling a business by force, as you can guess, is detrimental to everything you are doing. Usually the parties know about such risks and price it in (two ways: you register the acquisition and risk it being denied, or you skip the registration and hope that the authorities won't start an action by themselves).

I stuck with law right now, talked to a lot of people. I do work that leaves me enough free time so as to satisfy my other interests, learn more about it, and if after like maybe 1 year I feel confident enough to switch, I'll do it. Right now I'm content with that situation. How about you?

Disclaimer: worked for the Austrian cartel prosecutor:

Such (as in: requiring regulatory approval in general, as I cannot legally speak to this deal specifically) takeover deals are structured with a suspensive condition, pending regulatory approval. Until that condition is met, it remains pending and without effect.

Accouncement based company.

Thanks for that! I wrote you an email.

I agree with you. Yet I am not romanticizing a profession. The areas in which I have expertise in simply do not make me happy. I am happy, though, when I do something with maths or biology. So studying and working with it probably makes me happier than I am now. For me it's more about what I like/love doing, not a certain profession itself.

But thanks for pointing that out! And also for your advice.

Thanks for sharing your experience :)
