Academia to Industry

Hi everyone, I’m currently working at CCMB, a research institute in Hyderabad, where I have been for the past 3 years. In total, I have 4 years of work experience. My educational background is an MSc in Biotechnology. I have been looking to transition from academia into the biotech industry, specifically with multinational companies such as Thermo Fisher Scientific, Novartis, Aurobindo, Parexel, Sanofi, Aurigene, and others. Despite refining my CV to highlight my skills and accomplishments, I haven’t been successful in advancing my applications. At this point, I’m unsure where I might be going wrong and would greatly appreciate any advice, suggestions, or recommendations on how to improve my chances. Thank you very much in advance for your support!

Dislikes

1. TFG - Heavy cost-cutting. Clearly visible in various aspects 2. Sandoz division spin-off 3. Too much hiring from some orgs (ZS, IQVIA). People from those places bring & spread their toxic servicing client mentality (especially for IQVIA). Eventually this led to some sort of micro-management. 4. No free food. Paid food is overpriced and has no taste No cab for regular shift people. 5. SNOW - pathetic project creation tool. 6. Productivity goes for a toss as there are so many formalities 7. Promotion can be biased. have seen people climbing the ladder by organizing events.
