I will be finishing up my PhD (chemistry) in 12-15 months. Which firms hire PhDs? Ik because of my background people will suggest life sciences and healthcare practices but I really want to be generalist in the begging and get bit of a exposure. I will take a shot at MBB but not expecting much or hopeful there. TIA!

Why not life sciences and healthcare?

Long story short. I am desperately trying to move out of US (I am not a citizen) and want to move to Middle East. If I continue to work in life sciences as a consultant or scientist in pharma company, I will make it harder for myself to do the transition.

Thanks, yeah I have been told about this. I will apply for Bridge to BCG when applications open in Jan again.

McKinsey hires the most PhDs traditionally.

KPMG, they’d have to apply this cycle though for McK

Most firms hire PhDs with the expectation that they will add credibility to a particular practice area. I’m not saying it’s impossible to find a generalist role, but I do think it would be much easier to land a LS role.

Hi all, I’m in need of some career advice. Not sure where to direct my attention. I know that I don’t enjoy consulting, but I’m also fairly confident that I don’t like strategy.

I also enjoy working with others frequently and finding a solution together, instead of having individual workstreams. I can hold my own in front of a crowd as long as I’m confident in...
