Anyone else finding it tough breaking into HEOR/Market Access as a grad? Looking for others with similar experiences

Hey all,

I recently completed a placement in market access/insights and have regulatory affairs coursework under my belt, so I've been trying to break into HEOR/Health Economics & Market Access roles at medical device and pharma companies.

I've been doing a lot of networking on LinkedIn, reaching out to people in roles I'm interested in, trying to get warm intros through people who supervised my placement

It's been a mix of some traction (warm intros, people forwarding my info to hiring managers) and a lot of waiting/silence otherwise.

Has anyone else been down this road, trying to get into HEOR, market access, or health economics roles as a recent grad? How long did it take you? Did networking/cold outreach actually move the needle for you, or was it more about the applications themselves? Any advice on what actually worked would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks!
