I’m six years out of law school, currently at a large insurance defense firm in the NJ/NYC area with experience in employment law, complex tort, and commercial litigation. I’m exploring a transition in-house and would love advice on resumé tips, networking, positioning my litigation background, and key in-house skills to highlight. Thank you!

Hi, I was curious if anyone had any jobs or companies that had a position with a mix of consulting/healthcare/pharmaceutical. I currently work in clinical operations and research, and would love to jump or learn into a tech side company with pharmaceutical exposure. Not sure if these are out there but figured I’d see!
