Does anyone have advice on transitioning from an agency setting (market access marketing/medical affairs) to a role at a pharma company? I have a PharmD and a little over 2 years experience in an agency setting as a medical writer doing mostly market access marketing. I've been targeting manager-level positions in market access marketing/medical affairs at pharma companies but not really having much luck. Anyone who has made this transition or has any advice, let me know! Thanks in advance.

But all do same work.
