Hi, everyone! Can anyone provide me insight on the best way to make the switch from site to Pharma?

I'm a Site Manager with 20 years of experience. I have a Ph.D. and will also have an MBA in the next month. I've been applying for almost a year to make the switch, but still have no bites.

It seems like every position (incl. Associate-____) require CRO experience. How do I get in?!

The only thing I'm trying to avoid is CRA because of the travel. I have young kids, so I'm not very flexible.

My dilemma… I am an injury adjuster at a carrier experiencing high inventory that’s barely manageable. A competitor offered a higher salary and manageable workload. BUT, I would like to get into underwriting. I applied for UW position w/ a different carrier and they’ve made an offer. It’s lower than my current salary and significantly lower than what I’d make by taking the first offer. Do I take the high salary and stay in claims or go for UW in hopes it will be best in long run?

Is IB worth the sacrifice of WLB? Obvious pay is really good but are the prestige and pay worth it if you’re planning on only doing it for a couple years?

Also doing MBA part time at a T15 school. Thinking about switching to IB but I’ve done my research and I think I would burn out of IB in two years but I might be ok with that for the opportunities after.
