I'm not sure why, but folks from consulting, market research, strategy shy away sharing the knowledge with others. People are willing to pay to learn these skills especially core life science, pharma folks. Anybody willing to be a mentor here?

Thank you for reaching out.

1A. Pharma consulting is a super niche category. If you are seeing the group members, the number hasn't crossed even 1000.

1B. Community isn't vibrant as that of other bowls

2. Skillsets are not vastly different from general consulting, except with a crucial addition of science background to understand the life sciences problems. Hence the skills are transferable between the two. Hence not much delta

3. People don't check the app

It's difficult to say which side you would want to get into.
If you're into clinical side, and want to get into commercial consulting, do get an MBA, it'll help tons, preferably full time.

You'd need to get this decision quickly, as more time you spend in your current role, it MIGHT be difficult to shift later.

Lastly consulting isn't the only thing where you can end up, post MBA you can get into sales and marketing, where there are a bunch of folks. If your clinical side is strong, then stay there as commercial roles can be hectic

Hello, I’m an associate (almost at the one year mark) at a midsize firm on the EPL team. I did about 2 years of employment law as a clerk during school and know that’s what I want to go into.

I second-chaired an employment trial but don’t see any EPL work for the foreseeable future and wasn’t getting as much EPL exposure as I wanted before the trial. Any advice on a lateral move to a bigger firm with a broader range of EPL work?
