Does your company hire a lot of ex-consultants into the company? In my company, they are even inserting themselves into scientific experiment. I thought that was for the scientists and engineers and not for the MBAs. Not sure how effective the ex-consultants are either. Seem to have to first teach them the basics, then they schedule endless meetings to ask questions like can we accelerate? How can we accelerate?

Is this normal among other pharmaceutical companies or just an Abbvie thing?

Honestly with a PhD and about to enter consulting that seems like a dream. My goal has always been to leave the bench without completely selling out. Operating more like a thinker and a planner than a doer.

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year.

I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?
