I made it to an on-site interview and it was a horrible experience. I had to wake up at 4 am for a flight to get there and present my seminar at 9 am the same day. I finally left the same day for my flight at 7 pm, and got home at 1 am. It was a terrible experience, honestly the worst I've had in pharma. I ended up pushing back on start date timelines and didn't get an offer.
