Hi fishes,

I had a few questions about pharma consulting and career progression, and it would be great if someone can share insights whenever convenient.

1. Should one focus on a particular area within pharma consulting (e.g., market access, medical affairs, CI)? If yes, how does one usually figure out the right fit?


2. Which teams or functions are present across most consulting firms? I’d like to avoid narrowing down into something that only exists in a couple of companies

In your view, which firms offer a good balance of compensation and work-life balance?


4. Lastly, what’s it like working at ZS? I’ve noticed candidates from ZS are often valued across the industry, and I’m keen on joining. Could you share what steps one should take to get in?

Hi folks, i have recently joined tcs and now i had received a RnD kind of story and i have prepared the demo and also given the code to client as it was split between me and one client side developer. There are bugs in project but none of them are assigned to me. I had attended all the bug review meetings. Will it be a wise move to ask manager to assign me some bugs? Or should i just wait

Hello all, I need one advice.
I am working as SAP consultant for 3.6 years in same company now. I am going to make my first switch in one of the big 4 in SAP only.
The thing is that I don't really enjoy working in SAP. It was handed over to me when I joined my current WITCH company. Now I have decided to switch to Salesforce tech. For which I have already finished the Admin beginner part.(while staying in NP)
Please advise me if I am on the right track.

I have been a practicing (patent prosecution) lawyer in different firms for about 20 years. I would love to do something more creative but still techie (computers, telecom, apps, etc.). I've always been interested in improving the software that practicing lawyers use (whether patent-specific or not). I am also kind of an academic at heart, but I live in a locale where professorial jobs are pretty limited and we're rooted here now. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
