Wanted to share about my job search experience, and happy to answer any questions. Over the last 18 months interviewed with the following companies and failed - McKinsey, BCG, KPMG, Oracle, Google, Invesco, Microsoft, Cisco, VMware, Amazon, North highland, Microfocus, Atlassian, Orange, equifax, and a few others.

Hi Fishes,

Does anyone know about TE-DL Data Platforms Team/Project in KGS. My joining date is 11th April and I will be part of this team.

In 2018, I founded a boutique ODD advising firm with a primary client base in healthcare and biopharma. I am now transitioning from FT consulting through my firm and exploring new opportunities.

I have over 25 years’ experience in healthcare and oncology clinical research. While I’ve worked in a variety of business entities, my preference is start-up to mid-size. If there are any HCLS/health tech companies looking for an exp. professional that can hit the ground running, I’d love to chat.

Out of curiosity, what percent of your work/analyses are Excel based? And what other softwares do you use the most (Tableau, PowerBI, Alteryx, etc.)

I’ve been in TA for 10 years and have been wanting to be an HRBP for 2 years now. My prior company had no interest in helping me develop and started with a new company 4 months ago. I was transparent from the start that I wanted to leave TA and was told I could do that within my first year. I’m receiving signs that I’ll, once again, be pigeonholed in TA. I’ve done talent management, DEI, engagement, but my lack of direct BP experience and TA titles keep me pigeonholed. What can I do?
