This should be pretty straight forward
You got a PhD in biology and work experience doing strategy in biopharma while at MBB
Any business roles should be really straight forward. Perhaps if you are aiming for something like a scientist or product related roles then you may consider how to best position yourself
Start applying.
Seriously - you have what it takes to make the transition. Don’t doubt yourself.
All the best! 👊

Imposter syndrome exists for a reason coming from consulting
The obvious, network. It’s how MBB alumni frequently land the best exits. Was just beat out for a PE, VP of Transformation role by a McKinsey guy that knew the CEO of the port company (still bitter about it)
Similar situation, totally get you. The resume would make it seem like we should be qualified experts, but in reality we don’t have expertise in any particular area of pharma (like client counterparts do).
I think that’s why most Bio PhD consultant types go into internal strategy roles first.
Thanks for sharing! What do you mean by internal strategy roles?
