The question is why? Consultants do not have the skills to do this work. I have done both. Requires a lot of knowledge about pharma and products that you can't just jump into

Depends what type of consulting you did? If you worked in commercial and supported brand plans, etc you should be familiar with this.

What perspective is needed? Now you have to accomplish boring tactical things, but if that’s your jam…

A significant amount of your time will be project managing your agency partners and dealing with regulatory reviews. It will be highly tactical vs your previous role. Most people who move into these types of roles are external hires from agencies or internal hires from other functions (eg sales).

Looking for a home office chair…I need something really ergonomic/comfortable but given the visibility of the office in the house the wife wants something stylish. She keeps calling all my ideas ‘gamer chairs’ even though they’re definitely not. Anyone have any chairs they really like that may be worth looking at? I feel like I’ve looked everywhere (Steelcase, Herman Miller, humanscale, Haworth, xchair, etc).

Whoever said bumble bbfs was great couldn’t have been more right. It’s weird I’ve l been confident in how I look in the last few years but my personality and likability was put into question but instantly I seem to be receiving the friendship attention I like, 50+ likes by 4am on the first day, signed up at 2am. It’s kind of nice to make brand new friends without having a connection or a class together. Old friends and friends or friends sometimes benchmark you and don’t view the new you
