I am 7yrs into fed gov consulting after a postdoc at NIH (PhD, MBA), not doing LiSci work which I misses. Recently moved away from DC and want a change in career - can someone told me more about the career trajectory of CI? Is it join the firm and “climb the corporate ladder”? Thanks!

Vague question. A CI firm or CI function at a pharma?

Assuming you are talking about competitive intelligence. If so, Many pharma companies have a dedicated CI group.

It is steady but lots of delving into posters and publications.

Suggestions needed. Got offer from other Big4s with same money offer. Got to talk to very great partners, and practices/work-life balance are very similar across all 3 firms.
