I’m trying to better understand the relationship between Portfolio Strategy vs. Business Development & Licensing (BD/L) and S&E roles in pharma/biotech.

Specifically curious about: decision power (which function has more control over major decisions), career development (It seems common for PS or BDL team moves to brand lead), Job stability & WLB, Possibility to move between these team. Any difference around core skill set to succeed in these roles?

TIA!

Hi anyone working at Centric consulting, want to know about it

How long did it take for your background check to be completed? I'm supposed to start on the 25th but still waiting for First Advantage to finish the BI. They said only my current employment verification was still pending and no other details.... how long does that even take?

I accepted a $115K base salary, 13% bonus, 10k sign on bonus (scientist supervisor) job and two weeks later, got a $135K base, 17% bonus, and 15K sign on bonus (Senior scientist role) offer from another company. Should I accept the new offer ? How do I tell the previous company about this? Also, I’ve already negotiated with the first company and the $115K base is the negotiated salary. I really do not prefer one company over the other. They’re both great! I’m very confused here. TIA🙏

Hi
Applied for a position in Johnson and Johnson Canada. Reached the final round 3 weeks back. After not getting any updates I emailed the HR a couple of weeks back. They responded back telling me that they’ll have an update for me the next week. Again I emailed them on Thursday asking if they have anything for me before the long weekend ( Good Friday & Easter). No response whatsoever. Will emailing them again be inappropriate? I desperately need this job
