There are tons of healthtech companies who make various solutions for life science companies (data/analytics, clinical trial services, drug development, etc). Knowing the business of pharma would be a huge asset to them, but it could also be a way for you to hybridize your way out of “standard” pharma marketing.

Any companies in particular that you know of that might be worth following?

I came from tech and went into pharma, so opposite of what you asked for but if you put some tech related pieces in your portfolio and reach out to recruiters on LinkedIn I think that'd take you very far

Hi all,

My boss makes jokes about me being from a different country whenever there is a work meeting or a gathering with coworkers, even though he knows where I am from. This usually occurs when I meet new work-related people or for example if I am in a situation that involves ethnic related subjects.

What is this? This is normal?

My clients are pushing back on it this year, and I can't say I blame them. If I were in their shoes, I'd rather take the risk of not filing than the expense of filing again. From my own point of view, I don't really want to spend my time on such returns, either, even if the revenue and easy return are nice.
