Pharma will suck the life out of you (showing my bias). R&D cycles eclipse most executive's tenure so incentives are super effed. But yeah, b school for mba.

If you want to get but PE, go to business school. I would take the role as a stepping stone to that.

Get going!

@A1 big

@B1 absolutely agree and that's in line with what I am planning. Thanks for the insight.

Agree with B1. You might be able to network into PE as you work up in consulting, but a good pharma gig that shows progression plus a solid b school would be much better

Coming out of UG, I accepted my first job b/c I thought I had to based on status of other interviews. I ended up quitting after 8 weeks in favor of an opportunity I perceived to be better, but took longer to get. 7 months into the new gig, I am NOT happy. Considering this is technically my second job out of school, how long should I stick around before trying to leave without looking like a total scumbag opportunist?
