This is more or less it. Do good work and they’ll typically offer you something. I got an offer for nearly double my salary 6 months into being hired. Didn’t take it for personal reasons.

Your experience is likely most valuable in market analytics and market access groups in pharma. Overall I would look to adjacencies where your provider experience is valued.

I'm curious how this works, at my last role I worked with consultants on due diligence projects and we typically had mutual non-solicitation in the contract. Is that uncommon, or if it's standard, do people just ultimately exit to a client where they've developed a good enough working relationship that the conversations can happen?

I think those terms are loose. The firm is losing an asset but gaining a potential revenue source. Kind of win win for both parties.

I love my job right now but I don't think this lifestyle is sustainable for me in the future. I think work life balance takes a big hit especially with more senior roles (as I have observed with senior members I have worked with). I have observed that work life balance is better in the pharma/biotech and health tech industry. I want to invest my time and energy in an industry/company where I see myself in the future. This consulting job is my first job out of school, so I want to also explore these other industries to see which is the best fit for me.

I left to industry over the summer. Found biotech that I heard of, had decent pipeline, and position for which my experience was good fit. Applied, interviewed, received offer, and accepted.

Thank you so much ! This is very helpful!!
