Looking for POV: I’m exiting as 2nd year consultant from MBB and I’d like to lateral to pharma/biotech/medtech. All of my experience in pharma is through consulting (did some growth strategy but lots of cost cutting, ugh). 2 Qs:

1) Other than comm ops / strat and corp strat roles, what are other types of roles to target given my bg?

2) Is a pharma exit even realistic? Concerned my exp is too shallow and I don’t have strong client pull to get me in, so I want to use my search time wisely

Negotiation in new offer: I’m moving from fully remote to fully in office (with chance of hybrid later) offer for associate director in quality in pharma for 170k base, 18% bonus and 75k equity. I’ve asked for a sign on bonus as I’m not eligible for annual next year and will be missing my current jobs bonus. I should hear tomorrow (asking for 28k). Thoughts about the offer?
