How’s everyone feeling about how layoffs are a regular part of pharma life now? Is there stability anywhere?

For me my positive mindset for change keeps me pretty stable with workplace change. I am also looking at it from a younger perspective, without being part of the ‘golden years’ of pharma.

This is the right mindset for success

Layoffs have ALWAYS been a part of pharma life - I've been around the industry for almost 40 years... prior to layoffs it was mergers & acquisitions... usually you bounce back but it's generally harder at the beginning and towards the end of your career.

Anyone hiring those who have been out of work for a year? I took time off to tend to personal matters, but I am now looking to get back into the workforce again. My previous experience includes time at B4 audit up to senior level and then transitioned to manager in industry. Senior/manager roles are preferred.

I don’t mind audit. However, I’d prefer it not to be at a B4, as I am looking for some semblance of a work life balance.

DM me if you have something above, thanks.

Crushed my final two interviews today. I will hear back sometime next week for a verbal offer for a Tech Solutions Consultant on the xWS team. Leaning towards an L4 but maybe they give L5 if the interview feedback was as good as I thought it went. Any thoughts on how I should negotiate base and equity? Maybe ask for sign on too?

I am project manager in clinical research industry (CRO). After earning PhD, I gave up my science dream to take a more stable job. After slowly climbing the ladders, I feel like I finally got a seat at the table. Half the days I like the hustle, but now I miss being creative. I want to take more brainstorming, decision making responsibilities but I don’t see that in the career path for PM. Career path usually goes like this- Sr PM, Director, Sr Director, and so on. But all do same work.
