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
