Applying for LS consulting jobs in the Boston area later in the year. What are the top 3-4 firms I should consider? I don’t care much about name or size, rather intellectually stimulating projects, and a decent work-life balance. What would be some of the downsides?

Any thoughts on clarion? ZS?

Thank you, just DM-ed you :)

Is decent pay contingent on a non-existent WLB?

Not necessarily but typically yes.

Check out Analysis Group. They allegedly have good WLB and solid pay (boutique ranges).

ZS has Boston office too. Smaller but fun office.

Thanks. I’ve been meaning to connect with someone from ZS. I’ll be coming in with a PhD in the physical sciences and had some questions about bridging into life sciences
