Op: look at associate product management roles at tech companies. Google, Amazon, and a bunch of smaller firms are offering these. Not all are as competitive as Google. And these are a great training ground for VC roles.

Thoughts on start ups? May take an initial pay cut but could be well worth it in the long term

@pwc1 thank you! Anything more on the management/finance side? Currently doing MC and would ideally like to continue on that trajectory.

Palantir technologies has an engagement manager type role but their culture is terrible. Some startups offer engagement management type roles as they scale with new clients.

You can also try for strategy roles at banks but these are harder because the often take internal analysts. Good luck!

PwC2, so true! I know quite a few people who were let go in the February round who still haven't been able to find anything because they only have half a year to their credit. One of them finally found a job and he had to relocate to a different city for it. So messed up. 😡

Hi All,

Need some career advice.

I have a year of experience in a clinical ops role where learning is quite stagnant. I’m eagerly looking to transition to good challenging opportunities in life science consulting/analytics and allied domains. Which organisations/startups/roles should one apply to being a non-technical applicant with a masters in biotechnology?

It would be really helpful to get your guidance on further course of action.

TIA!

You don’t set up a deferred on the def RF for the state tax deduct & it is also a rate impacting item (I know that some temps can be rate impacting). But this all leaves me to side with perm.
