Shownotes

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.
