I wouldn’t consider VP in pharma a “management gig”, it’s the highest level at the company under the CEO. It’s not like VP in finance where everyone and their mother gets there. There’s a small and select group of people that reach VP.

VPs in pharma from my experience have a lot of knowledge and ability to run functions. I have worked across 3 big pharma and 2 biotechs, and every single VP had the functional skillset along with managerial charisma. Perhaps I got lucky, and there is a huge selection bias but still I found VPs across organizations very capable

Hi everyone, I am 4.9 years experienced , I joined Fractal 3 months ago as a data engineer, but still haven't got any project. Process is so slow that I have received only 4 to 5 project calls. I switched in hopes that will learn the new tech and tools. But now i am starting to forget even the one i knew. Should i go for change or wait a little more time as fractal is reputed in AI/ML? I have interview lined up with Impetus as for now. Would it be better choice?
