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
