Helo sir, I want to do Bachelor in pharmacy...can I persue a job in medicine companies like cipla, mankind etc?

Ans: Hi,

I’m not sure where you are located, but I wanted to share my thoughts. After completing a Bachelor's degree, it's common to start with a lower salary during the initial period. It may take some time before you reach a frontline position. Therefore, I recommend pursuing a Master's degree before entering the job market. You will definitely find opportunities with reputable companies, including multinational pharma companies.

Remember, having a degree alone is not enough; you also need to acquire relevant skills.

Wishing you all the best!

Asked by Anonymous - Sep 30, 2024Hindi

Career

I am aged 49 with a 27 year career in IT - 21.5 years as individual contributor and rest in leadership role. In my last employment, I was asked to go after successfully executing a project; later on, I found that they hired me just for that project only. For the last 4 months, I have been applying for jobs but it looks like that my age goes against me. I have completed a four month course in AIML, learning new programming languages and keeping myself abreast with the latest trends. The differentiating aspect of my leadership is being hands-on; while the team gains confidence, my peers and leaders feel that I am being too indulgent. In some of the interviews that really went well, I was rejected as my technical capabilities seems to have threatened the incumbents. I have achieved the financial freedom and doesn't require a salary to keep the kitchen fires buring but I crave an engagement to retain my knowledge. Please guide

Ans: Hello

As you want to work, suggest you keep exploring opportunities.

Since you have achieved financial freedom, you may consider freelance assignments or even project based assignments, this will ensure you are working and at the same time bring varied experiences.

All the best
