Anybody know about the portfolio rotation programs at pharma companies? Specifically curious about Genentech, gilead, and I think Merck also has one. I’m curious what makes a good candidate (aside from having an advanced degree). Is having a consulting background a plus? Thanks in advance!

I had 1 yr of consulting n didn’t even get an interview. No connections however

Do connections within the company help? Based on the job descriptions it seems like they are looking for relatively fresh grads with not a ton of work experience

Lot of these programs are hired out of MBA programs

I’m currently a junior associate in a boutique litigation firm handling IP. I’ve taken a depo already, will argue in court next month and by all accounts, I am great at it. But I’m miserable. I find the games with opposing counsel exhausting and I despise writing briefs (even if I’m good at it). My pre-law school job was in public relations and I chose litigation because I like to win, but I’m now realizing I like success more than the win-lose. Feeling lost… should I move to transactional?

Many are wondering what’s wrong with ClearView. The problem is straightforward, if the way ClearView is organizing a project such that when one analyst or senior analyst (22 to 24 year old) fails at something, stakes are high enough that an project’s fate depends on it, then ClearView is putting way too much responsibility on its Junior staff, not promoting and severely underpaying them. Maybe it’s time ClearView brought in a consulting firm to ease its org problems
