How's the life science practice at BCG in the Boston/new England system? What sectors are they particularly strong at? Would love to connect with Cs and EMs who would be interested in sharing more.

I am in the process of leaving BCG as a new PL in Boston. I joined with a PhD in biology wanting to do life sciences consulting.

The short answer is, there’s a lot of biopharma work, but BCG is heavy into certain project types (e.g., Post merger integrations, digital transformations, op model redesigns), and don’t do as much work focused the core stuff pharma companies do (portfolio strategy, asset strategy, launch planning, etc.).

I’m leaving to go into VC because I want to focus on therapeutic assets and use my scientific background. If you are happy focusing more on the op model category of work that is BCGs bread and butter, then it’s a great place.

How do you make your tradeshow booths inviting and interesting on a shoestring budget? We have a nice, nothing out of the norm, backdrop, our set up is properly branded.

Swag is hard to justify budget for, so we have pens and cool telescopic flashlights we give to people who fit our ideal customer profile or at least have a meaningful interaction with us.

Lastly, I bring Moonpies ... they seem to be different enough from what everyone else offers.

How are you handling this?

Considering a move to Austin from Boise, ID. I currently live in Downtown Boise enjoying a comfortable, lone wolf lifestyle. If I move, I would be living in a suburban neighborhood 30mins drive away from Downtown Austin.
Being in Austin would mean I’d be much closer to family, friends, and it would be gold mine in terms of career growth (several reasons).
On paper it sounds obvious to pick Austin but I’m anxiety prone and in a dilemma whether I‘ll end up regretting leaving my current lifestyle.

Moved to industry and noticed my boss has been dumping all of their work, meetings on me and blocking calendar for personal time. How do you manage this? I have been overwhelmed since I joined past 2 months. They are nice and supportive it’s just that the minute I complete one task they start pushing more and more to me with no breather in between. Some items that they owned before I joined are also something I have to ramp up on.
