Moving from agency to in-house role
I'm a PharmD currently working in a market access marketing manager role (3 YOE) at a life science consultancy supporting 1 client account working across several products in multiple therapeutic areas.
I recently received an offer to move into an in-house role (adjacent role/title) at a small biopharma that has 1 commercial product in onc.
The offer is roughly 20% higher than my current base, but there's been discussion of me getting a raise followed by a mid-year promo at my current role. The consultancy has gone through multiple RIFs in the past year, but I believe my role is relatively safe.
I rather like my current role and team, but my primary career goals at the moment are to:
Continue building strong market access experience
Eventually move into a strategy role
Maximize long-term earning potential
Some questions I have considered:
Is now the right time to move to the manufacturer side, or would it be better to stay in consulting longer and reach AD level first?
How valuable is manufacturer-side experience compared with consulting experience when pursuing strategy roles?
Would moving from supporting 7 products to only 1 product be viewed as a step forward or backward from a career development perspective?
Thank you!
