Hello! Has anyone here moved from the Life Science/Medical field to Consulting? Finished my MD last year and have 4+ years of research experience. Have been applying broadly to consulting firms (most with referrals) but I'm only getting rejections. Really want to move into consulting so any help would be appreciated! I don't mind starting off as an analyst or entry level job and make my way up.

I really like my firm and team, but the firm pays below market for the work that we do, wlb is crap like everywhere else. I am interviewing with firms that would pay more, e.g., T2 small and large. I’ve been a solid performer, very strong project and bd feedback. I’m up for promotion during the next cycle. I really vibe with my team, and I wonder if I can keep an offer or two handy to extort from hr comp match. Is it a good idea? Will it affect my relationship with the MD (salaried)?
