Looking for a role in pharma/biotech in the commercial space. PhD with 3 yrs of consulting experience, primarily in launches. Neuro and oncology space. Have 2+ yrs of prior experience in pharma but on the discovery/scientific side. Should I apply for AD or would senior manager be more suitable? Ideally want to be in analytics/market research role but not sure what companies primarily look for in such roles.

I could see AD with your yoe and phd. But kind of on the border of AD and SM.

Onc and Neuro makes me think of JnJ, Merck, Pfizer, Roche, Abbvie, and BMS since they just acquired Karuna.

Analytics/MR roles will mainly look for experience from MR and consulting agencies. Types of projects run across the board but product launch would def be one of them

Stub year in a free market firm frustrated about hours. Everyone was complaining about being slow last month, but it seems most passed 100 hours and I only got 60. I’ve been doing everything mgmt says to do but I’m making no progress in getting work. I can’t help but think I don’t fit in here and people don’t like me - especially because I went to a lower-ranked school, grew up poor, and am neurodivergent so networking is hard for me. Whole system feels very nepotistic. I just want to give up.
