Hi everyone!

After years of hard work, I just got my first position in a leadership role! Yay! I’ll be leading a team of 12.
I wanted to know if you had any tips for me, things you wish you knew before, or things previous leaders did for/to you that you found admirable or stayed with you. I want to make sure I’m there for them and want to be a leader they will remember positively.

Thank you so much!!

Hello everyone! I’ve been working for 3 years in a large corporation as market assistance.

So I was offered a position as BDR to another company with more possibilities to grow. I love the idea of starting fresh, but at the same time I’m scared to leaving a stable job.

Looking at exits into pharma and biotech. Have an opp at a biotech at the SM level.

Very good benefits package.

They envision 2-3 years before I jump either to AD or right to D. Solid opp? Or hold out to go straight to director level?
