I’m looking at relocating to Chicago for personal reasons and wondering what options to work in big pharma exist there. Currently I work in head office marketing in Oncology at the country level, though I’ve been working with worldwide a little recently too so could envision moving into that. I do not have the background to work in medical, clinical, reg.
Any suggestions for companies to look into local or remote would appreciated!

This definitely is the closest to what I do now out of what seems available so looks like the most interesting. I’m going to check if anyone in my network knows someone there. Thanks!

Negotiation in new offer: I’m moving from fully remote to fully in office (with chance of hybrid later) offer for associate director in quality in pharma for 170k base, 18% bonus and 75k equity. I’ve asked for a sign on bonus as I’m not eligible for annual next year and will be missing my current jobs bonus. I should hear tomorrow (asking for 28k). Thoughts about the offer? Should I ask for more equity or is that standard? They’re public (currently ~$20)should I get the hybrid option in writing?

I am project manager in clinical research industry (CRO). After earning PhD, I gave up my science dream to take a more stable job. After slowly climbing the ladders, I feel like I finally got a seat at the table. Half the days I like the hustle, but now I miss being creative. I want to take more brainstorming, decision making responsibilities but I don’t see that in the career path for PM. Career path usually goes like this- Sr PM, Director, Sr Director, and so on. But all do same work.
