Hello all, exploring an internal transfer to life sciences strategy but from a law background (good academics, 3YOE in public sector consulting) Any ideas on how to best prep and present myself? I'm getting cold feet after realising how niche life sciences actually is...

I would read the Yale Life Science Consulting book.

Yes that. Found it to be very helpful in my case prep

Will you have to do case interviews for this internal transfer? If yes, agreed with the above comments on practicing Yale’s LS consulting case book.

Otherwise, would say the best way is to start listening to podcasts + read article on key industry trends / happenings.

Life sciences definitely has some very unique dynamics and nuances but at its core, the management consulting skillset (structured problem solving, quantitative / qualitative analyses, presentation skills) remains the same. You will be fine!
