I have a friend who is currently a Quality Engineer in pharma and looking to make a career switch into a role in commercial. Their undergrad was in Biology and they have 10+ YOE. Will they need to go back to school to make the switch, or will recruiters be willing to give them a shot based on their “unique” background?

Wao, really 65k with 10YOE ? I don’t think school would help, they can potentially look into regulatory certification.

If they can solve complex regulatory problems, healthcare/life sciences compliance functions would seem to be a potential fit.
