Was a pleasure to be on your channel again, hope the viewers have taken away some valuable advice

[@Buyitforwife]

I’m already getting positive feedback! Thank you again for taking some time - never asked what your hourly consulting rate ha! Nevertheless, true value for the viewers!

[@SuperBubble2009]

Thanks for this video guys. You asked and answered a lot of great questions. From the Uk myself and after a couple months I finally landed myself a entry level position in RA. I definitely agree more entry level opportunities need to be given. It would be great to hear more about becoming a consultant and freelancing as it’s very motivating to hear

[@Buyitforwife]

@@SuperBubble2009 thank you and congratulations on your new role!

[@KarandeepBadwal]

@@SuperBubble2009 Congratulations on landing the role!

[@aadithyasudhakaran2879]

Thank you Brian for this video. It was a much needed information for me as I'm currently in my final year and seriously needed to have a insight in a career in Medical device regulatory affairs.

[@Buyitforwife]

You’re very welcome - so glad you found it helpful!

[@xiaoweizhang7099]

What a brilliant and professional interview. Thank you for sharing.

[@navneetdeol9061]

Thank you Brian and Karandeep, it was very helpful information, I liked the reason you shared to switch from pharma to med device, great job

[@m.sspeckyy7494]

Hi 101 Mentor. Thank you for your interview, it was very interesting for me to get to know more about RA world. I was wondering, bouncing over the working social network, and seeing new job positions, what are the main difference between an RA assistant and an RA associate? I understood that they are both entry level positions but i'm not sure if there is more to know or if are there some relevant difference between the two. Thank you, keep up with the great content.

[@Buyitforwife]

It will vary depending on the company (unfortunately not the detailed response you may have hoped for). You’ll just need to review the job description carefully

[@m.sspeckyy7494]

@@Buyitforwife Thanks for your answer. Not what I was hoping for, but this is the correct answer. I may missunderstand that is the job description to play a difference in these cases cause company may call position in strictly difference ways. Thank you so much. Could I maybe contact you with direct message trying to figure out more about it?

[@clarissaariel]

What bachelor major should we take to have a job in those fields? Is it pharmaceutical science or biomedical engineering? I'm really confused😅

[@Buyitforwife]

Check out postings you want and scroll down to the qualifications. It’ll tell ya right there!

[@clarissaariel]

@@Buyitforwife Thank you very much for replying! can you please tell me the link?

[@Buyitforwife]
