Hi

I had a few questions about pharma consulting and career progression, and it would be great if anyone of you could share your insights whenever convenient for you.

1. Is it better to 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 few companies

3. 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?

My saving goals is around $3k so been trying to adjust my monthly spending.

I’m interviewing for a start up and the role sounds interesting. Usually for the “test” part of the interview I’ve had to analyze data. This company wants me to develop a growth strategy that outlines key initiatives for growth, different opportunities, experiments I’d run, KPIs, and working cross-functionally.

Is this a lot for an interview?

I’m a little afraid of doing all this work to then just have them take my ideas and not hire me.
