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.

I so badly wanted to go to Vegas next year for CSKOM, but I was not invited.

I understand that budget is an issue but as a younger adult this is very detrimental to my career because I will miss out on a huge networking opportunity.

One thing we do not struggle with- building connections and showing out love for each child.
