Is anyone having a tough time getting interviews for pharma companies within their insights and strategy group within commercial? My resume seems to be a good fit and I used to work at a big pharma working as well. Just curious if these are just going to internal candidates or anyone here is having better luck

It’s a really really bad job market. You’re competing with all the laid off Pharma folks in addition to all the consultants trying to get into industry.

I got an insights role in biotech recently but I really lucked out with a perfect fit job description that wanted experience in a specialized drug class. I had little luck with my ~70 other applications, most of which I was qualified for on paper

Echoing ZS 2, I’ve found it really needs to be a perfect fit (or a direct connection like a former coach at your old company). Otherwise there’s just so much competition for each spot there’s no easy way to distinguish yourself

I recently joined Allstate india and my manager is forcing me to come to office twice a week. During negotiations, I had made it clear that I didn't want to work from office due to personal commitment.

Please suggest:
1. Is my understanding correct that Allstate india is currently not forcing employees to come to office and my manager is an exception?

2. How can I say no without pissing off the manager given I have just joined the company?
