Pharma and pharma services has had a rough couple of years. I’m in PE-backed pharma services and 2025 was looking good until trade war stuff derailed things a bit. I have green lighted projects get abandoned over a weekend.

We’ll be fine though. Money has to be put to work. Do your best to be of service to your clients in difficult times and they will remember you. I’m old enough to remember working in the recession and we’ll get through this too.

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response” -Viktor Frankl

What do you do when you make the wrong career choice?

Forgive yourself. No one is perfect. You are learning. Wrong choices are part of the learning process.

Ask for forgiveness if your choice negatively impacted another.

Work on recognizing the space between stimulus and response. Ask for help if you need it.

All of the above will help you make a better choice next time.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
