Absolutely, love it. Cannot think of another industry. But, I like challenges and am an eternal learner.
I do like the versatility of what pharma offers along the value chain from Discovery to patients.
Yes, my job gives me the satisfaction that I contributed to the health of a person.

I love it I just wish I could feel 100% secure. My company is not known for layoffs and works hard to nurture employees, but it’s such a good job that I’d be miserable if I lost it. The money is great. The WLB is excellent. All of the benefits rock. Plus my team and management are just good people. I grinded hardcore at my prior roles but this one is just much more balanced.

If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?
