Boston pharma exits - any thoughts on good companies? Looking for big pharma (ofc many are in NJ) and mature biotechs, not early-stage. Would appreciate insights on companies that value consultants, have a good culture, and strong pipeline/prospects. Takeda, Biogen, Vertex, Alnylam come to mind but not sure on what it's like there

What are your core skillsets and specialization? Also, many NY/NJ big pharma are all remote now and hiring remote, with occasional once in 6 month on-site for annual potluck etc. Huge demand for right skillset currently.

Bio PhD, 2 years MBB, 2 years pharma strategy. Looking at commercial/strategy range of roles.

For NJ pharma, are you seeing permanent remote or "for now" remote?

ZS would take you in a second. Look for those roles as it’s very limited travel and has big office in Boston.

Alnylam is incredible
