how do you get market access experience when every market access role wants someone with market access experience?

I suppose the same question could be asked of healthcare or pharma. I kind of lucked out there myself. but it seems like market access is this weird niche within a niche within a niche.

It’s definitely easier to get in at a lower level. Market access is such a niche space that, at higher levels, we really need people who already understand the landscape—payers, the market, all of it. That said, because it can be tough to find candidates with MA experience, we sometimes bring on people with strong HCP backgrounds instead. It just ends up putting a heavier lift on the rest of the team to get them up to speed, and not every team has the bandwidth for that depending on what’s going on.

Feeling like I’ve been “bait-and-switched”…

I’ve been interviewing at an agency with the intention of filling a Director role. Recruitment reached out soon after my last meet-and-greet interview (about 6 to 7 people total) to tell me the team thinks I would be best suited for an Associate Director role with a fast follow of a Director promotion.

Recruitment can’t tell me what feedback is creating this gap but also won’t stop mentioning the positive praise and feedback the team had for me.
