These past 7 months have been so stressful. I’ve been looking since January and have made it to 7 final rounds. Got my seventh rejection today. Any tips for persisting? My goal feels so out of reach.

Yes keep at it! Most things happen for the best! Keep the interview practice going and remember you learn more with each interaction. When the right role comes along you will be ready. Practice makes perfect. Also assess where you are stumbling in last step.

Ugh I’m so sorry! I know how this feels, I am in a similar boat. I try to take a day or two off from applying or interviewing specially after being rejected from a role I really wanted. This job market is so draining & I hope it changes soon.

Yes it is extremely draining and there is more supply than demand especially leadership roles. Knows folks getting rejected even after negotiating offers and details cause more senior leaders who have been laid off are able to take roles. Essentially quicker hire with lower sign on costs.

One day at a time! Best of luck

I’ve been out for a year, which is mind boggling. I’m about to start a long term full time freelance role thankfully that can likely go perm. What’s kept me going is continuously filling the funnel, exercise (so important for your mental health), and taking nothing personal. I’ve also had offers go on hold during this time, so be cautious when you do get an offer to not cancel others interviews until you start the new job - consider it an unfortunate insurance policy with this market.

Please help! I’m a CRC who manages Investigator- led clinical research projects and I want to transition to a PM role in industry (I would slightly prefer not a PM role in clinical trials since I don’t have clinical trial experience.) I’ve applied to PM roles at many biotech companies (e.g. Charles River, ICON, Paraxel) but only got 1 interview which didn’t work out. Which companies should I look to for an entry level PM role? Any good startups to consider? Anyone have any insight or advice?

Just got offered a job at a small biotech in London (UK). ~£45k plus bonus but only 1YR FTC and no equity.

Pretty sure it's a discovery role too.

I just finished my PhD at a very good uni with 3 years technician experience before that. BSc and MSc also at very good unis with good grades.

I think this offer is well below par, but curious to hear what you guys think/if you have any comparisons?

Thanks in advance :)
