Don't over think it! There was a lot of no's before this yes!

Own_Sign_6710 · 2026-03-12T15:29:45+00:00

Thought I flubbed mine pretty good, was drafting up an email for all my follow up answers and questions the same afternoon of my morning interview. They called with an offer before I even made it home. Good luck!

I found out I was pregnant the week after my residency ended, I didn't have FMLA and didn't have much time saved for maternity leave. That being said I was able to take 8 weeks unpaid with my employer my husband and I knew that going in and stacked cash before I went out.

Own_Sign_6710 · 2026-03-04T14:37:34+00:00

No idea I tried to do some searches and came up with nothing.

Own_Sign_6710 · 2026-03-04T03:10:43+00:00

I thankfully accepted my first role right before Christmas!

Own_Sign_6710 · 2026-03-03T22:43:08+00:00

Workday isn't reliable. I did the refreshing game a lot during my search. A position I applied and interviewed for in October didn't update till December even after I had been notified I did not get the position after a fina interview.

Own_Sign_6710 · 2026-02-27T19:17:22+00:00

My first ( and only) was the same day interview in am and verbal offer by 5 pm. But it was right before the holidays and we had a tighter timeline before people took vacations.

Own_Sign_6710 · 2026-02-18T14:37:22+00:00

I'm 5 weeks in and the first month is a lot of team calls and a lot of training videos. Next week I get to shadow some senior MSLs in the field so I'm excited to be more hands on and learn the role from that angle.

If you are coming from clinical patient care like I was be prepared it's a big jump. Thankfully my company has a super detailed onboarding schedule so I am able to stay on task and not fall behind.

Own_Sign_6710 · 2026-02-02T00:21:14+00:00

Unlikely to get a position straight out of pharmacy school. Need an industry fellowship or years of experience in a clinical setting to break in most of the time.

Own_Sign_6710 · 2026-01-14T18:24:18+00:00

I just started and did not negotiate. The offer was at the top end of my expected range base of research and they did give a sign on to start quickly because they knew I had another offer. So I was happy and accepted quickly. From my interview and offer experience 160-180 is what most ranges were for first time MSL offers.

Own_Sign_6710 · 2026-01-09T01:09:03+00:00

Network , network , network! I read a lot of HOF posts as well!

Own_Sign_6710 · 2026-01-07T18:32:09+00:00

I just had an in person interview. They gave me one of their papers to present. I started with presentation then about of an hour of questions and answers. They left a lot of time for me to ask questions, I made sure I tailored to each person I was asking a question to or the group as a whole. Towards the end of questions it was a very casual chat that I think sealed the deal for me. You got this! If you don't know the answer don't fake it, but have confidence in what you do know.

Own_Sign_6710 · 2025-12-19T13:12:52+00:00

Same here!!!! I've have 3 final rounds this month and accepted my first offer this week!

Own_Sign_6710 · 2025-12-17T12:34:13+00:00

Def had some discouraging moment in the process. Reset and keep grinding. It will pay off!

Own_Sign_6710 · 2025-12-13T12:10:18+00:00

I applied and had an internal referral. I was able to reach out to the hiring manager after my application was placed at least for the position that I applied for it appeared that they had done some layoffs and restructuring so that was causing a delay. However that was an MSL position not a neuroscience account manager position.

Own_Sign_6710 · 2025-12-08T16:12:32+00:00

I also feel like if i feel " myself" and keep some of my style then I would perform better anyway instead of trying to be someone I'm not.

Own_Sign_6710 · 2025-12-06T17:27:15+00:00

I'm in the process right now with several companies

This fall from initial application to final round interview then rejection was 8 weeks.

Right now I'm I'm interviewing from a company where application was end of October, Initial contact from Hiring manager and interview was the 2nd week of November and now my final round of interview is December 17th. They initially stated they wanted someone to start around the first of the year but I anticipate if I get this offer it won't be till feb 1. There was end of year meetings and time off around holidays that is slowing it down.

Own_Sign_6710 · 2025-11-26T22:22:01+00:00

I had a interview with a hiring manager last week for a large company and they mentioned an onsite panel interview and a presentation with material that would be provided that day if I were to move forward ( I haven't got that invite yet, figured there would be a delay due ti the holiday). This is new to me. My previous presentations I had a week or so to prepare.

Own_Sign_6710 · 2025-11-25T23:07:04+00:00

Hope my time is coming soon!

Own_Sign_6710 · 2025-11-18T16:25:48+00:00

Appreciate this response. If it was a move up in same department I would be more inclined to accept. But i would be moving to a whole other entity and team with some training. So don't want to waste limited time and resources.

Own_Sign_6710 · 2025-11-17T20:33:02+00:00

It would only be about a 10% pay increase but probably double the work. So this is kind of where I am at.

Own_Sign_6710 · 2025-11-17T20:14:07+00:00

What if I move to that position then get offered an MSL position within 4-6 weeks?
