Would you suggest moving from owning a pharma business into consulting? I'm feeling very stressed and overwhelmed running the business and I want to do something that is still sustainable but doesn't involve half the tension and responsibilities. What would be your suggestions?

Are you open to selling said business?

If you’re overwhelmed running a pharma business, consulting is definitely worth considering. It helps you stay in the industry, apply your expertise, and usually offers better WLB with less day-to-day pressure and operational headaches. You’ll have more freedom to pick your clients and projects. The trade-off is the need to build a steady stream of work and manage your own business development

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?
