Is the biotech industry slow at recruiting? I had 2 rounds of interviews ~2 months ago for a role in the biotech industry. Recently I got an email from HR: “HR would like to confirm your continued interest in the role and have the following questions answered: Are you legally authorized to work in the country? Will you now or in the future require sponsorship or transfer for the employment visa status? Are to willing to relocate and come onsite for 3 days?” What does it mean?

It means they’re interested and need details to understand the cost of hiring you (eg relocation package, visa funding, etc).

For this one I’ve done 2 interviews- they skipped having an initial recruiter call and immediately went to a call with the hiring manager and in-depth video call with the director.

Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?

Went through multi-day loop for L5 SA and felt confident in my interactions. Presentation went well with no lack of answers for follow up questions.

Also found out they ask you not to reapply for 1 to 2 years for same role. Would anyone recommend an alternate path for feedback on interview (outside of recruiter) and is the 1-2 year policy true?

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.
