Dear forum,
I work for big pharma R&D API process development/scale-up in Europe (3 years). Today I got offered a job rotation position for API production (1.5 years), starting in autumn. I have mixed feelings about this offer. On the one hand it is time for me to move on, but to be honest I have a different path in mind (process research). And I have worked in production in my previous company. Are my thoughts careless? Is this a big opportunity? Can I ask for an extra, like a promotion to a senior position? Has anyone done s.th. similar and is willing to share his or her experience? I have a total of 8 years experience in pharma R&D and production, plus a 1.5 year postdoc (USA). Any thoughts welcome!
