I've recently finished my Master's degree in Public Policy and am working at a voluntary health organization. During undergrad and grad school, I had two government relations/public policy internships at pharma companies and really enjoyed the work.

Does anyone have any tips (or referrals) for getting back to a pharma/biotech company with a full-time government affairs or public policy role as an early career professional? TIA.

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.
