Show Notes

Still thinking you’ll never be able to land a nonclinical job? Ready to have the confidence to know you can, and you can even negotiate for a higher salary or a better package?
Listen as I cover three inspirational success stories that prove a career transition is possible.

In this episode of The Career Rx we’ll discuss:

  • Landing a pharma role without research experience - and without taking a pay cut
  • Getting into a pharma career fresh out of residency training 
  • Negotiating an even better offer, yes - even without prior pharma experience

Today I’m sharing some success stories of three physicians I've been advising or working with, who have had amazing transitions from their clinical to industry careers in either biotech or Pharma. Physician expertise is of very high value in biotech, medical device, and pharma.

I'm sharing this information, because I know that it helps actual people out there achieve their dreams and their goals. And if you are a listener and you enjoy it, I want you to know that you can take action and get some results from it.
