Hi all, I work in commercial strategy for a very large pharma company. I have an MBA from a top 10 school if that matters. I want to pivot to PE, specifically to a firm with a biotech focus. Any advice on how to pivot? All thoughts are welcome!

“MBA from a top 10” - look at this Ivy Leaguer over here LOL

Didn’t mean it to brag, just thought that might be relevant when switching roles

Welp, if your MBA is from a top 10 you’re probably going to have a better chance than most of us anyways so I’d say just apply?!

Trying to figure out if I should start as an inbound SDR, or try jumping straight into an AE role in SaaS.

I left mortgages at the beginning of the year to start a franchise business, it's now semi-self-sufficient so wanted to start a career again and I live in the Silicon Slopes area. Everyone I know is in SaaS or software engineering.

Just wondering if I should push my resume as far as possible and try to snag an AE role or take my time in a new industry and start from the bottom.

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?
