What’s the pressure to accept a pharma offer? Do you hate your current job? Bill collectors calling?

Sometimes standing still is the best move. Especially if you’re good enough get multiple interviews. Eventually you’ll hit on something you like more.

don’t accept a job in pharma unless you want to spend the rest of your career in pharma. but, you can let the other places know you’ve received another offer.

Hi all!

Fellow fishes, an observation. What explains the sudden rise in salaries in new hires.
In 2017/8, $/₹ was 65. Today it's at 80. That's a 20% depreciation over 2017/8 levels. Now, between then and now, salaries may have been corrected 50%. Factor in inflation, and you will see that the hike is just about 20% over a 4 time period. Doesn't seem like big number anymore.
