I was formerly at guidehouse and they seemed to value the experience; I've seen a few people come in with a few years of industry experience and a bachelor's degree come in at SC (same level as new PhDs)

Thanks for this tip!

DM me

Depends on what you currently do at the biotech. Feel free to ping me if you’re in the commercialization side of things

Currently I do supply chain & logistics process development.

Suggest getting an MBA to make the pivot. You’re in the same boat I was 3 years ago

Hey fellow fishies! There have been some questions lately about men lurking in this bowl. I’ve reached out to Fishbowl and a rep reassured me that only users who identify as women are allowed access to this bowl. If any men have misrepresented their gender in order to gain access, please flag the user and/or reach out to a bowl leader or Fishbowl support asap! Definitely want to make sure this space remains safe and private so we can continue to share freely 🙏

Has anyone here successfully exited to pharma after 1-2 YOE? Currently an SA at a small NYC market access firm with a wide range of projects under my belt for big pharma clients. I'm anticipating a promotion to AC perhaps this fall or winter, but I'm at a crossroads where I'm not sure if I want to continue consulting to the actual consultant level. Currently make $100k with a 10% bonus, would I even get a higher salary in industry at this stage? Also might be worth noting I have an MPH. Thanks!
