I just saw an ad for a drug that requires a "one-minute injection." That sounds horrifying! Isn't an injection supposed to take like 3 seconds? I don't understand how they can pitch that like it's nothing.

What is it treating?
I’ve worked on a bladder cancer treatment that requires a catheter, followed by having to hold in the treatment for at least 1 hour in order for it to be effective, and then 2 days of diluting your pee with bleach for 15 mins before flushing. Some diseases call for treatments that can’t even pretend to seem easy.

It sounds better than, “come to the transfusion center and sit in a chair for 4 hours.”

Depends on what it’s treating and/ or which treatment it’s replacing. Some or these subq treatments that last a minute-ish are replacing treatments that used to require hours-long transfusions. While it might not seem innovative to you, for some patients these treatments that are even a bit complex are complete game-changers.

1 minute injection? Not a big deal at all. You must be new to Pharma. People sit in 3 hour long transfusion sessions.

Like said above, it all depends on what it’s treating. I work on a medication that is a 15 min injection and that is fast compared to the competition. Generally speaking, most Pharma companies want their products to have the easiest method of administration, but it all depends on the medication and the indication.

They mean all the steps, preparing the injection etc

This is the answer.

I work on a drug with 10-minute injections. That's not bc they sit there slowly pressing on the syringe for 10 minutes, but because you need to wipe down the area, identify and mark the multiple injection sites, then inject all of them at a very specific depth.

Is it one-minute or one-monthly?

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked. I later learned that he was making double my salary. I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.

Trying to figure out if I should start as an inbound SDR, or try jumping straight into an AE role in SaaS.

I left mortgages at the beginning of the year to start a franchise business, it's now semi-self-sufficient so wanted to start a career again and I live in the Silicon Slopes area. Everyone I know is in SaaS or software engineering.

Just wondering if I should push my resume as far as possible and try to snag an AE role or take my time in a new industry and start from the bottom.

I'm working on skills to reposition myself from a branch of tech where certifications are mandatory and required to even interview into DevOps or software development. I'm currently taking some online classes in Jenkins, docker, python. I've found a few certifications you can test for. I'd love to be able to go into a mid level position vs Jr in the next few years. A) Are these types of certs helpful or useless? B) what skills differentiate Jr and mid level positions?
