Anyone else think folks staying 20+ years at a company as somewhat odd? See it a lot in pharma…

Why is it odd? Just depends on what ppl are looking for in their career

Not everyone is looking for that. At some point in their career, some ppl may feel like theuve gotten far enough that their content with where they are and just want a stable paycheck. They become less career focused (whether it's because they've become for family focused or some other reason), and are happy to just cruise til retirement.

PTO is another concern, you will get 6 weeks of PTO staying 20 yrs in a company.

🤮 work so hard for so little PTO..

There are so many different functions and therapeutic areas in big Pharma that it's easy to keep learning and developing within the same company. I'll be with the same company for 10 years next year, and I've held 5 different roles with 2 promotions. Switching roles every 2 years or so keeps things fresh and challenging and you truly build a strong network/sponsorship within.

I just finished my PhD at a very good uni with 3 years technician experience before that. BSc and MSc also at very good unis with good grades.

I think this offer is well below par, but curious to hear what you guys think/if you have any comparisons?
