Hi there! I’m a recent MSc grad with 2YOE in clinical research/life sciences looking to move into a consulting or strategy role as an associate (missed campus recruiting). Would love any tips on landing a job here or any referrals (MBB, Big 4, boutiques).
Much thanks!

I think if you’re a year out of school, you can still apply via campus recruiting

You might be able to negotiate your start date. I came in via campus recruiting and asked to start in January vs summer or fall of the same year

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago. An agency recruiter is trying to convince me to move into a GSVP account role, assuring me "at that level it's all strategy." (I dont think she understands the words she's using. Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?

I’m currently in the process of being converted from contractor to permanent. In my initial conversations I was under the impression that I was in a different pay grade and asked for a salary 25k higher than the max allotted for my position. I feel like it gave the impression that I don’t know what I’m doing. Any suggestion how I can recover from this?
