I’ve worked in pharma for 10 years across field and home office roles, all US commercial. As I reflect on that time, I see that I was the happiest and healthiest when I was working completely remote. I feel the need to make a change, but I see more and more companies adopt 3+ days in office with limited flexibility. Are there any companies that are still fully remote or flexibly hybrid?

I am with you on this. I have a young kid and it's like a marathon between drop off, pick up, meetings (some during drive as well) and then most nights work late into midnight after bedtime to actually do the work! And the funniest part is that while in office, I am still taking calls via Teams because members are all across US.

It's truly admirable how you can balance family, childcare, and a demanding work schedule while maintaining professionalism. Thank you for sharing, and we hope you remember to rest more amidst your busy schedule to stay healthy and energetic

CROs tend to be the best option for fully remote, but compensation isn’t great
