Definitely try to understand the industry (LS ecosystem, patient centricity, complications and challenges of personalized medicine). LS is a very interesting industry especially as we move towards 1) not only treating diseases in a traditional way but also preventing them, 2) overall digitization (from basic enterprise systems to tailored AI solution), 3) very
Personalized treatments (ex CAR-T) where you have a time constrained supply chain of 1

Have you explored what area of supply chain you would want to focus?

Distribution and transportation are going to see significant changes coming out of a shift to telemedicine .

Distributors aren’t going away but more manufacturers will look to go direct to customer and that will further change the scale and supply chain for how products reach the customer.

In addition to what others have suggested above, I would think about issues within life sciences that have impact the supply chain.

- NPI process integration with the supply chain
- sales are often through tenders, which creates lumpy demand
- product regulatory changes complicate the supply chain when prior version and new version both need to be produced as regulatory filings take time to be approved in each country.
- manufacturing quality standards and procedures can be higher than other industries when there is FDA oversight
- impact of recalls and quality findings on distribution

Tata Consultancy Hi fishies, I recently interviewed for a Big data dev role for Autodesk but it's via a third party called Applicantz. Initially the contract is for 1 year, which can be extended. There is also scope of Autodesk hiring permanently after 6 months or 1 year. Can anyone provide some reviews about Autodesk and third party Applicantz. Usually I would not have considered anything via a third party, but the company(Autodesk) seems great and work discussed seems good as well.
