I am planning exit from pharma consulting (boutique firm) and move to pharma/ biotech. I have 4 years of experience. Is it okay to apply for multiple roles within the same company?

Yes, you should apply to positions that are fit with your experience. Just don’t apply to different levels within the same function.
Usually, different recruiters manage roles in different functions but one recruiter may be screening manger to director level positions within a function.
Good luck!

I got SM at a biotech with 4 YOE consulting + PhD. While there are a few Pharmas where you could get AD (like Vertex), YOE requirements are high right now given the competitiveness of the job market so apply for whatever you can get

Typically you should limit to just one. If there are multiple roles you’re applying for you’re probably not competitive for any of them and the company may view you as just trying to get any job, rather than be qualified for a specific role.

Absolutely not. I’ve applied to three roles in a company and got two. Turned down one
