Any advice for transitioning from an operations-heavy role to a high level project manager type role? I currently work in quality at a pharma company and am really trying to get a remote job and there seem to be way more PM positions that are remote. I’ve managed a fair number of projects in my role just not as a formal PM.

If you work in pharma it is likely you have worked on some projects or programs. Even if it wasn't named like a project you can still refer to a bigger activity or quality case as your go to project! Use your experience from those quality cases to bring your value, put the emphasis on transferable skills and any type of management you may have done in the past! Are you planning to get into pharma pm? Industry knowledge might help you if that's the case!

Relatively new position at a coveted firm as their Marketing and BD manager. Have suffered burnout and depressive episodes previously: can feel the symptoms raising it’s head.
