How to break into biotech ER
Hello. Does anyone have any insights or advice?
I have been trying to break into biotech ER without any success for a while. I have a PhD in chemistry and work for a big pharma. Most of the biotech ER jobs require PhD in biology and my resumes seem to be screened out right away or they just want biology background exclusively. I have no problem understanding molecular biology or any kind but I don’t understand why they are so restrictive on this.
Thank you all.

Gotta do the networking man. I broke in with no graduate degree. Show the drive and interest and you’ll get there.
You make the mistake of counting on HR to discover your value. HRs are less than useless. Network directly to the senior analysts with write-ups and models.
The only time you should have to deal with HR is when you have gotten the job already.
Curious how networking plays out after showing them your model+write-ups, do you ask them for a referral or they initiate to refer? Or is it for sole purpose they recognize your name when they interview?
If the team you networking with has a job post out there (on LinkedIn, etc.), ask if you could be considered (what you got to lose?). If not, try your best to keep the convo going to stay top of their mind (shooting interesting article over and share what you think about the article, implications on the stocks in the space). When they do hire, they already know you are passionate and competent, should flow naturally from there.
what do you do for big pharma, exactly? msg me if you don't wanna speak publicly.
Just started at ER BB, no phd but background is biopharma as well
