Best consulting firms without the massive ego?
Got a random email from a supposed Amazon recruiter for a SDE position (which is not at all a fit). The email is amazon.com domain and there are no red flags in the body but it doesn't feel like an Amazon recruiter due to the tacky signature, etc. Has anyone seen this kind of cold-calling from FAANG recruiter?

I have a PhD in biomedical science and have a similar path. If your career path looks strong where you are, I would recommend staying there. The consulting industry is unstable right now. Continue gaining experience in your field. Within bio/pharma a lot exists beyond the lab if you want to move beyond the bench.
Don’t do it
For those who’ve made a similar transition:
What made the difference the second time?
How important is networking vs reapplying?
For context, during grad school I:
founded a consulting club
did a VC fellowship (due diligence)
case competitions
Bain ADvantage + McKinsey KIT
Would love some advice/help, thank you so much!
Idk the answer but following
Congrats on the schooling. I'd try to get anything with people / managerial requirments, maybe spend some time learning basics on how ro be a real human (coming from skmeone with a heavy science / engenieering backgeound without the degrees to back it.. love my adhd lol).
My theory here is thay AI is coming to a town near you at some unknown speed and I can imagine that "entry level" folks will be the ones (first) that transition from "job" to "teaching AI how to do your job and everyone else's...." It's actually the #1 emerging job according to LinkedIn / Ceo. There will always be a desire for human to human interactions, so the higher up u get, the less likely u will be training an AI, vs interfacing between AI and humans.
Also the pay raise would be nice I'm sure. And what could it hurt to try? A solid "No" opens a dialogue to find out what path you need to take to achieve that position you desire.
