Hey folks, I want to exit into industry by year end, and ideally I’d like to target associate director or SM roles at biopharma (thinking corp strategy, Portfolio planning, BD&L). I have roughly 2 YOE with a PhD. A large proportion of the companies I am interested in (cell and gene tx) are based in Boston, but I’m wondering how the opportunities are in New York, since I might be moving there to be closer to my S/O. Will I have more or less options, and will remote options be here to stay?

You will have fewer options in New York compared to Boston, especially in biotech. Pfizer, Regeneron and smaller biotechs are probably a large portion of your option space. If interested in pharma and ok with NJ you could extend to JnJ, BMS, Merck.

Overall I think it’s still doable. I’m at Pfizer, happy to chat more.

Definitely Pfizer in NY but also a good deal of small biotech (nowhere near Boston numbers but they exist for sure); I think for those kind of roles remote flexible is here to stay though.

Have an identical background (PhD + 2 years consulting) with an interest in cell/gene Tx corporate strategy exits. Any insights into what position I should be applying to, WLB and salary at smaller biotechs vs big pharma?

The AWS role will be an IC role and more hands-on/technical. The startup will be a CPO role reporting to the CEO with a team of about 50 devs+PMs.
