HI All,

I've recently been looking at Commercial Insights and Analytics roles at Biotech and would love to transition from consulting (currently a strategy consultant ) to biotech within 60-90 days for personal reasons. What's your experience been with biotech recruiting and what advice may you have for a faster transition?

I just got an insights role at a biotech coming from ZS. It was a slog to get any interviews, I was applying off and on for 1 year, and the offer I got was basically for a perfect fit job. I would expect 3-6 months looking in this market. It will be easier to find other consulting roles than make the transition unless you’re in a really unique analytics niche where there is little competition

What did you do for your PhD, and what type of consulting do you want to do?

I did the opposite to you. PhD in bioinformatics, first job as a business analytics consultant, got sick of the toxic culture (retail media and advertising), went back to medicine/big pharma.

What type of background do you need to get into the S associates?
