Is it easy or difficult to go from being a consultant to a marketing role at a pharma company? All the job descriptions ask for at least 5 years of experience with brand marketing. I am not sure if consultants make the cut.

Yes happens all the time. Those are on paper requirements and consultants often don’t meet them. I was offered a Director role earlier this year in Big Pharma where my YoE was <50% what the description requested.

I’d figure out what role and title folks from your firm leave for, particularly at your level, because that’ll be the most instructive.

Yep, MBB

Consultant years are like dog years. Assume 1.5 to 2x industry years - depending on relevancy of area.

HR will likely use as rationale to lowball on compensation, however

Internship Program Help: Hi Everyone! I’ve never worked for a company with any type of internship program at all, let alone a really successful one. My new company thrives off our internship program, with many of our managers/directors having started as one themselves. I’d like to create more of a structure to this program but not even really sure where to begin. Also don’t want to bite off more than I can chew, but would love to hear some tips or even better, maybe have a quick chat if willing?

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house. My job, which I’ve loved until some recent significant leadership changes, is sucking the life out of me and I think it may be time for a change. Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!
