How is the regulatory affairs job market right now? I’m interested in transitioning from LS strategy consulting to reg affairs bc it seems like the WLB is pretty chill and they embrace remote work.

If anyone knows how to transition I’m all ears - interested in reg affairs as well, but not sure how to gain enough specific experience to be considered

consider working in an adjacent field you may be more immediately qualified for like quality, labeling, engineering, technical writing, clinical affairs and then transitioning within your organization. You are also more likely to gain experience through an entry level contract in regulatory and then try to transition to full time work at that company or leverage your experience to work full time somewhere else.

Speaking for medical devices, it's not nearly as in demand as it was a couple of years ago due to changes in the regulatory landscape. For example, the EU MDR timelines got shifted back several years which reduced the urgency for RA personnel to quickly remediate the Technical Documents for devices to continue selling in the EU. Salaries are lower for the same positions now. It's a good, but very challenging field and while there are a lot of remote options, I wouldn't pursue it strictly because it's "chill" because it's certainly not laid back.

What’s your work-life balance like? I feel like I’m constantly working after hours, always balancing multiple projects, hardly ever going through a phase where there isn’t a ton of critical initiatives going on. It definitely wasn’t like this when I was a more junior PMM, but as a Senior PMM, my work-life balance has severely decreased. Is this just the nature of Product Marketing? Or can I actually find a senior PMM role that allows a bit more room to breathe?
