Curious also - lots of recruiters reaching out last year but I wasn’t interested then, crickets now

Pharma is transforming. Tons of opportunities for the right people.

Transforming how ? - it’s in the news everyday. Tariffs, tax, generic deflation, specialty boom, gross to net bubble, trump’s blueprint, Amazon, WBAD, 340B and part D and so on. Right background being you either have experience in pharma industry or you are good with pricing/sourcing analytics. HIA PLS has been hiring a lot of people like that.

I'm an introverted person, like to keep to myself, focus on work, spend the rest of my time on family, gym etc. I've been told that I need to work on my communication and client relationship building skills. any books I can read? I don't follow pop. culture anymore, no longer actively follow team sports (but sporty myself) as I consider it bread and circus for the masses and don't rly enjoy work drinks... Am I doomed? Personally I am happy and love the work but fear for my career progression.
