In this career chat, I had a fun conversation with Nicole Gampp, Senior Alliance Manager at Compass Therapeutics. Nicole shares her unique, non-linear career journey from research to HR and medical affairs, eventually leading to alliance management. We discuss the intricacies of an Alliance Manager's role, the importance of networking, and career transitions. Nicole emphasizes the significance of finding a mission-driven company and offers insights into work-life balance differences between the US and Abroad, as well as large and small companies. We also cover handling rejections, leveraging transferable skills, the pros and cons of pursuing advanced degrees, and the importance of self-advocacy. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to strategically navigate their career path.

In this episode of the Biotech Career Coach Podcast, we revisit an interview with John Doyle, Education Director at the Gloucester Biotechnology Academy, originally conducted for the Building Biotechs podcast. We discuss pathways for individuals with little to no experience to enter the biotech industry, emphasizing the academy's role in re-skilling and transitioning careers through intensive training programs. John tells us about the academy's offerings, including a seven-month training curriculum followed by internships, industry partnerships, and their outreach through middle school programs to inspire young minds. We also highlight the Massachusetts Life Sciences Internship Challenge and the benefits it offers companies in hiring capable interns. The value of the program is showcased through alumni success stories and the academy's holistic support system for students.

In this episode, I explore the notion of perceived career setbacks, particularly regarding the decision to return to academia after a stint in industry. This topic often arises during coaching sessions where individuals express concerns about the job market and their career trajectories. We discuss recent trends, including market corrections and layoffs, that have impacted employment prospects in biotech. Through real-life stories, I highlight various career paths and the importance of adapting and expanding skill sets. Ultimately, the message is clear: there is no linear career path, and one's career decisions should be personal, aiming to gain new skills and build networks.
