Hi all - how are things going in the Pharma space right now? I work for a company that serves as a data processing vendor for Pharma companies, and we’re definitely seeing studies closing down left and right. Is anyone in the Pharma space worried how this will impact them? I’m thinking about a pivot, but the air smells of possible layoffs even at big Pharma orgs soon. Would be great to hear from the perspective of those working within the Pharma companies themselves!

I feel pretty safe in oncology, which is a growing therapeutic area in my company. Several other areas have gone through some trimming. I think the answer will very much depend on which function or brand you work on
