I have been working in the construction industry for 2 years under a general contractor. I am wanting to get into consulting and my ideal role would be something like an Associate in Major Projects Advisory with KPMG. I’m curious to know which firms/companies have positions and departments like the one mentioned that I could apply for?

What are you trying to do overall? What is your background/specialty and what function/level are you trying to get into?
It’s.m tough to land a pharma role unfortunately, I’ve been looking and I have 7 yesss of experience in the industry and I get rejected left and right
Seeing as you work in the NHS, I assume you’re trying to find a role in the UK. My observation is that the majority of responders here will be from the US, where pharmaceutical medicine is slightly different. I would suggest joining the “UK Pharmaceutical Medicine Doctors” Facebook group. It has a number of guides and seasoned UK veterans who may be able to provide more tailored advice. As an oncologist with trial experience, you have a solid foundation. But it is an ultra competitive industry, and doctors are leaving the NHS in hordes
I’m a medical oncologist. I have experience in phase I, II, III trials, haves worked as both sub I and PI.
I want to be involved in a medical advisory role, ethics, patient recruitment etc.
I’m looking for some voluntary experience to get me started but even that seems difficult to break into.
Thank you. I’ll certainly join that Facebook group!
start with a small company for the type of role you want or something adjacent. They are willing to take more risk. This is a highly regulated field so just because you have an MD doesn’t make you qualified in Pharma automatically. have you done training or went to conferences related?
Hi, no I don’t have any specific training in pharma. I attend oncology conferences and meet pharma reps that way to try and build some links. But that’s about it!
