Hello! I’m a pharmacist and I’m about to graduate with a master’s degree in formulation science. I’ve learned a bit about regulatory affairs in my master’s program, but it was not the main focus. I really want to start a career in the pharmaceutical or medical devices regulatory affairs. Could anyone please give me advice on how to start a career in this area considering my background? I’d appreciate any resources that might be useful. Searching for English jobs in Europe or in US.

Location: Canada

Just got offered a job at a small biotech in London (UK). ~£45k plus bonus but only 1YR FTC and no equity.

Pretty sure it's a discovery role too.

I just finished my PhD at a very good uni with 3 years technician experience before that. BSc and MSc also at very good unis with good grades.

I think this offer is well below par, but curious to hear what you guys think/if you have any comparisons?

Thanks in advance :)
