Lots of scientists trying to get out of the lab, meanwhile I'm trying to get IN! BA in Biology + MS in Biotech Mgmt, 2 years out of school, no lab experience (except one undergrad summer internship) and no idea how to get any. Is my research career screwed before it even began? 😬

I know these are probably things you are already doing, but make sure you are applying to the right roles and tailor your resume for everyone. Keep trying, and maybe see if there are more internships you could explore, potentially volunteer experience too, just to get the exposure and build a network.

Computational lab skills more often appear on the desired list. The type of opportunities published in open sources are not always really available; it might be more productive to reach out to companies and ask. Translational knowledge will be in high demand, as investors lack scientific training and scientists are narrowly specialized to see all benefits of their hard work.

I don't know if this is a recent change but I’m seeing postings for junior copywriter/community manager roles. Have these roles always been attached or posted at a junior level?

Summer intern at BCG. I've been told by a few people that you need to spend your first few cases "earning your stripes" to gain staffing optionality or be servile/loyal to a pyramid to gain access to the cooler case work within that PA. It's seemed particularly emphasized at times.

Is this the standard at McK? I'm trying to guage the staffing optionality and openness of McKinsey culture to direct your random walk.
