Biopharma: The First Months
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.
