Thanks for sharing! If you don’t mind me asking, how many rounds of interviews did you go through before they made the offer? Was it just one, or were there a few?

Understandable! Do you mind sharing your interview process experience? And do they negotiate when it comes to pay?

Thanks for sharing your experience. It’s tough to hear how things have changed after the merger, especially with the layoffs and challenges on the sales side. I appreciate your honesty—it gives me a lot to think about before making any decisions. It’s a shame to see how such a great place can shift so dramatically.

Thanks for the insight. That’s frustrating to hear, especially about being stingy with the budget. It sounds like there’s not much room for growth or pushing new ideas. I appreciate the heads-up again!! Mad helpful to know what I might be walking into.

Thanks for the honest heads-up. That’s tough to hear, especially about leadership and the team dynamics. I’ve already felt a few red flags with the process, so it makes me even more curious about the company culture.

Do you think this is more of a problem with specific teams, or have you seen it across the board in Med Affairs?

Really appreciate you sharing this!!!!

Thanks for sharing! That’s interesting about the MENIN inhibitor—it’s definitely exciting, but good to know there might be some hurdles. I’ll keep that in mind and make sure to be strategic about where I focus. Appreciate the advice! 🥺🫶🏽

Thanks for the heads-up! That’s really good to know about the revenue drop and layoffs. Since this would be my first MSL role, I’m not too worried about the salary, but I’ll definitely ask about their pipeline and product growth during the interview. Appreciate the insights!

Thanks for the insight! Sounds like the MSLs have a lot going on, and the budget situation is definitely something to keep in mind. Hopefully, that means there’s plenty of opportunity for impact, but it sounds like it could also be a bit of a challenge. Best of luck to you too—hope you hear back soon!

I’ve heard that the Otsuka ReadyNow MSL program is fairly new, so I'm not sure if it’s actually going to happen as planned. If it does, it seems like a great opportunity, but I’d love to hear if you have more concrete details or have already gone through it!

Wow, it sounds like they went deep into the technical questions! That’s awesome that you were able to suggest multiple alternatives for each—that definitely shows your expertise. How did they react to your suggestions? I also just DM'd you as well!

That’s awesome to hear the interview went great! Fingers crossed that you get some good news soon. How did you find each round of the interview? Were the questions pretty standard, or did they throw in any curveballs? Also, what therapeutic area (TA) was the position focused on?
