As a clinical project coordinator in the UK with 2.5 years of experience within a CRO, I would like to ask how best to position myself for a role in big pharma . I currently look after multiple EMEA studies and so really looking to hone in on my broad scope and push for a good role in big pharma. I would really appreciate some suggestions on what roles look out for and how to get in to big pharma (in the UK)

I really do not prefer one company over the other. They’re both great! I’m very confused here. TIA🙏

Are the recent economic troubles translating to slower hiring or lower salaries in life sciences industry? I want to transition to industry this year but am worried it may not be the best time to.
