Biopharma: The First Months


Spread the love

The call came one week after the first interview.  I had a job offer in industry, and I would start in two weeks!  The next two weeks were a frantic attempt to get ready.  I bought a car, as I would have to commute.  I bought a new wardrobe since my free reagent t-shirts and jeans did not quite fit the business casual style held in industry. I read the information provided by the company website.   I reached out to all the friends that were already in industry (just a handful of them) to get the inside scoop. After two weeks, I had prepared myself as much as I possibly could, leaving myself feeling completely unprepared.
