Considering that the end of this year will probably signal the start of a recession, is this a bad time to jump into a new role in Pharma?

Agree pharma is generally recession proof. Business model is defensive. I wouldn’t worry too much.

What type of role?

Do you want to continue in Pharma? Once you get your foot in, it opens up a lot of other possibilities. So while the current role might not be recession proof, your CV might be!

Hi Fishies!

I have got a call for cloud engineer position in PWC.
But i havent heard back from anyone for scheduling any interview.
The HR had called me and asked me about my experience in cloud/DevOps, Current CTC, expectations, offered salary.
But after that I havent got any call for interview.

Does the process of scheduling an interview takes time here?

Looking to move on from current role however bonus/pay review period in 6 months (base jump likely to be around 10%). Is it better to wait to get the bump then negotiate off that for next role or start looking for roles now and accept if can find a jump of 15-20%? (understand that it might be possible to negotiate sign on to compensate for missed bonus). Any generic rule of thumb / insights that have helped ppl? Leaning towards staying until bonus/pay review period at present. Thanks.

Hey All. I had my 2nd round interviews for a Lead Solution Engineer role at Salesforce on Monday (2 days ago). It was w/ 2 separate SEs, and I thought both interviews went very well. Have yet to hear from the recruiter, though, which seems odd. Especially given how responsive the recruiter's been prior to this.

Is that normal? Do I just need to be patient or should I mentally prepare for a rejection? Thanks!

Hi everyone!
I have interviews coming up at BD in Maryland and, coming from the hospital world, I have no clue what salary to ask for.

For context, I have 4 years of experience in a hospital blood bank and am a certified Medical Laboratory Technologist. I was thinking in the 65-70k range, but the recruiter made it seem like that was easily attainable so I’m worried I’m asking too low. Would 75-80k be do-able?
