On the whole, there are many patients in the cardiovascular field, the incidence rate is high, and the market is large, but the competition is also fierce, and of course it also exercises people more.
The vaccine field is greatly affected by policies, and basically every domestic product is defeated by an imported one. Moreover, the vaccine is relatively limited, so there will be few companies to switch to in the future, and there will be few positions.
So from a field perspective, cardiovascular is recommended.
Both companies are large companies, but from the perspective of starting career development, Pfizer is still recommended. Because Pfizer's training, team, and company systems are relatively complete and well-known in the industry, it is the most ideal choice for newcomers. Novartis will be relatively chaotic. If there are good products and areas in the future, you can consider jumping into it to make money. But this is something I will consider after staying at Pfizer for two years.
For young people who have just graduated, it doesn’t matter what product or region you are working in, because you can learn a lot from them. On the other hand, you can only find positions in some old products and small regions. Which director of a foreign company would feel comfortable recruiting a newcomer with zero experience to work on important markets and important products. Therefore, the mentality must be good, and you must not be too ambitious and impetuous. Learning and practicing in a down-to-earth manner, rapid growth is the way to go. There will be times when you will make money in the future. The key is to lay a good foundation: communication skills, execution ability, ways of dealing with people, sensitivity to observe words and emotions, ability to analyze areas and formulate plans, and thinking and summarizing Ability to improve. These are the basic skills needed in future work, and the more solid they are, the better.
Although development mainly depends on personal understanding and hard work, your supervisor is also crucial. Therefore, when choosing these two positions, you should also consider your supervisor. How do you feel after the interview? Which one is more compatible with you? The aura is more compatible (carefully review the interview process, eliminate the parts that cater to you, and find out what you really feel you are relatively compatible with.)? Which one has a better background (education, conversational skills, work experience, stability of the current team, reputation)? If possible, you can also inquire about who has more management experience and has better development momentum in the company.
I wish you success!
