I’m interviewing for a few pharma leadership position for scientific communications. With about 8 years of agency experience as a medical writer and director, is there anything I should be aware of while preparing for these interviews? Taking any advice for interview prep, especially considering it’d be a transition from agency to Pharma.

If you are a writer, you are expected to know a lot about space and drugs in general. But your position is secured if you know someone above you. That's key.
