oncology

I don’t think there is one area. Oncology and immunology are both strong areas with continuous investment.

Both go through gold eras where pharma companies heavily invest in certain MOAs then wind down

I would look for a pipeline count broken out by therapeutic area. The ones that are the largest are going to have the most opportunities generally, although this isn't a perfect science. So oncology likely at the top, immunology after that.

I’d recommend Obesity but id try to stay away from a therapeutic area focus that is too narrow

Hi fishes, I just joined PWC SDC kolkata, so how is the work culture and the work life balance here...any insights!!!

Is there such things as FP&A positions in Big 4? If so, are there better times to make the change than others (I.e. at senior vs manager)? I’m currently in FP&A and looking to work at a Big 4, or another company that offers the ability to move abroad. My current company and many others I know about do not offer the mobility to do so until much later, which is not what I want. Thank you.
