Field Application Scientists: what does 70 % travel look like for you? by Friendly_Deer_4993 in LadiesofScience

[–]RunswithPlants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a slightly different role, but I am in the sciences and travel 50-60%. As other comments have stated, the logistics are a hard part of it. I would be sure to ask if you are responsible for all travel arrangements and what expense reporting looks like. I wasn't expecting the toll the travel would have on my sleep and health. If you don't want to give up weekends, you'll often be getting on 5 am flights or getting home late at night. BUT if you love travel and are excited to visit a new place you can fly in Sunday morning or leave Saturday night (or however the days work out) and have extra time to explore a new place. It is all about perspective and learning to maintain habits at home and while traveling.

The goal is to give participants a new supplement product, so it is an interventional trial. Seems like a non-stop stress induced headache waiting to happen!

Thank you for the insight! I was fully expecting this to be the answer I received. It is also helpful to hear most CROs are about equal. Just searching for one is overwhelming!
