If you’re coming from a PhD/MD and consulting at LEK - 1-2 yr only. If coming from undergrad, tack on 1-2 more years.

Are you in the LS practice at LEK?

I am an LEK alum and the brand is pretty good for biopharma because the firm is known for doing front end disease area strategy work.

For a manager role in industry, either 4th year / senior associate pre-MBA or a Consultant with 1 year experience post-MBA.

🤣 at “front end” disease area strategy work. I think you’re confusing with systems integration or tech implementation work.

C1 - front end as in new mechanisms of actions, tradeoffs of pairing new treatments with a companion diagnostics, market sizing of things like cell therapies, or rare disease work. Cell therapy and rare disease are big ones, areas where lots of consulting firms don't have lots of reps or off the shelf prior work to pull from.

At my company usually right out of MBA or a few with 4-5 years of relevant experience (big biopharma)

Thank you guys, helpful context!

Starts at SM/AD for us - newest people to join the group had 4-5 years post PhD or 3-4 years post MBA

I’ve seen this route the most - MBA, then ~2 YOE for AD/D level.

What about coming from ClearView with a PhD?

Same thing

I started my first in-house role about 4 months ago and I don’t think it’s the right fit. I love the no billable hours aspect, but otherwise I miss the structure of being at a firm. How long do you think I should try to stick this out before I move on? I want to give the job a real shot - and i know the transition to in-house can be jarring…but I also don’t want to spend too much time in a job that is a wrong fit.
