Medical writers who transitioned from remote CRO to hybrid big pharma, are you happy with your decision? Do the perks and overall satisfaction of working at big pharma compensate for remote roles at CRO?

I was the one who changed my career from clinical to non clinical....n yes not happy with my decision.

This is going to depend massively on the type of person they are, whether the two roles are otherwise fairly like-for-like, and finally but hugely importantly, how big the commute is, and how often.

Any replies that don't also give you that information are going to be fairly useless IMO
