Bain & Company Any advice for a student with a strictly science background trying to pursue a career in healthcare consulting? 3.8 GPA, 34 ACT, neuroscience major. Happy to send my resume via DM to share more about myself. I have extensive clinical research experience, but no business or consulting experience. Any tips on “why consulting” for a candidate like myself that has not had any consulting experience?

Life sciences related will be the best bet for you
There are consulting roles from what I’ve seen at Accenture that are lab-focused if you also want that
The major firms have life science sectors, there are also life sciences-focused firms (ZS and Trinity are 2 examples of the latter)

In your experience, what is the one tool / must-have / methodology any of your companies use to bring about a cohesive and comprehensive go-to-market strategy in the launch of new products and services? As a company scales, coordinating cross-functionally and across time zones is becoming increasingly challenging so we have identified that we need frameworks or tools to help us go-to-market in a less clumsy, more coordinated fashion. Would love to get your ideas on this.
