Is a Stats & AI Internship at Apotex Worth It for Someone Pursuing a Master’s in Data Science?
I’m currently pursuing a Master’s in Data Science and recently got an opportunity for a 6-month internship in a Stats & AI role at Apotex Research Pvt Ltd (pharma company).
What’s making me unsure is that most people working there seem to come from an MPharma background, while my background is more into data science/analytics/ML.
The role involves statistics and AI work, but since it’s in the pharmaceutical domain, I’m confused whether this would actually help my long-term career in data science or if it would limit me too much to pharma.
Or should I focus on internships more aligned with tech/product companies instead?
As a fresher, I also don’t want to miss a good opportunity just because the domain is different.
Would really appreciate honest advice from people working in DS/AI/pharma analytics.
