Which level do you start earning RSUs at IQVIA?
Hi all,
I received a verbal offer from Monitor Deloitte HR and now I see the status on portal has changed to "offer". How long before I get the formal offer letter in hand? I had interviewed with their Lifesciences Strategy practice in the UK. Been a week since I had a discussion with the HR. Haven't heard any update since.
Your guidance would help.
Thank you in advance 🙂
I followed a very similar path - 1.5 yrs LS CI YOE then jumped to a LS strategy firm. I would recommend moving as soon as you can because the work is does differ.
That being said LS CI consulting experience does translate is certain aspects and you shouldn’t have a tough time getting interviews with your exp.
Main thing is nailing the case study tbh
If you’re not nailing the cases, you should run one live with feedback.
The biggest advice I can give (as someone from the recruiting team) is to think about how to answer the question from a big picture, then think about what inputs you need to drive to the correct answer.
Ex: opportunity assessment case? Need to know price x units sold. To get to price, we need a benchmark of standard of care OR whatever market research is already done for value. For units sold, we need TAM (as indicated by incidence/prevalence), SAM (as indicated by patient segmentation, diagnosis rate, treatment rate, adherence, access considerations, etc.) and SOM (expected market share, as well as any drivers that influence this like competitive advantages/disadvantages). If you can think like a consultant in a case, you’ll nail the interview
DM for more thoughts/practice
Join a firm that does both! ^^
