Anyone here working in industry? I read online that PharmDs who already broke in the industry setting are doing well. I am a registered pharmacist but I have a BS Pharm. I was wondering if I break into industry, if the BS Pharm will be looked down upon… or do people just say “PharmD” because it’s the common degree for pharmacists

I think a BS says you're older and you didn't do a fellowship or residency. Sorry if that's too blunt

I’m torn because I do love being an IC but I’m interested in leadership also. What do I do?
