Companies are hiring, be humble & honest

This!!! ☝️☝️☝️

 

I think what the OP is trying to get across is that one drug start ups carry risk. There is a trade off with Big Pharma culture but we’d have more security....easier to play the long game. I get it.

I’m already close to getting an offer with a Big Pharma Biologics company. Double digit growth brands with a manager that everyone likes. If I have to fill out a tracker to make his boss happy then so be it.

 

The tone was condescending and arrogant. Everything is risky including plenty of big pharmas and going to the grocery stores

 

hence the phrasing of TRYING to get across. Sure everything is risky. But some are riskier than others...like a one drug company for a medicine not yet approved would be riskier than an organization that has been around for decades...maybe even centuries....that have a presence in multiple disease states, multiple divisions, with multiple molecules in phase 2 and 3.

We rolled the dice and it didn’t work out. For those of us with families to support this is a lesson learned. At least it is for me. Best of luck to all

 

best of luck to you too. Yes we rolled the dice and here we are. Lessons learned, skills acquired, new colleagues and relationships made. However, there are multiple examples of big companies with multiple products and long histories of being in business laying people off. Pfizer, GSK, BMS, AZ, Lilly and on and on along with lots of start ups like Sage. It comes with the territory. Best of luck to all!
