I received an offer to join a small rare disease clinical stage biotech company to do commercial strategy. My current firm primarily focuses on oncology and oncology is where I would ultimately want to build my career. I know I should take this job and I will since I want to exit consulting ASAP, my question is I am I closing the door to focus on oncology or would it not matter after 2-3 yrs to lateral to an oncology focused role?

What doors? What do you think will happen with you staying 2-3 years in a job and industry you don’t like ?

Oh I’m very excited about the role and the disease area, in the longer term I want to be in oncology though. My question is it difficult switching later or I’ll be viewed as too far away from oncology at that point.

Look then leap

Why do you think you can switch from oncology-focused work to rare disease-focused work now, but not the other way around in a couple years?

Good luck!

Really confused as to whether to incorporate my NY- based makeup startup as an LLC or an S-corp? Not based in NYC if that matters and no revenue yet.

Also - for any FDA lawyers out there, what is the problem with developing makeup (specifically foundations) with SPF? I've heard it's "heavily regulated." What do I need to be aware of? Thanks in advance !!
