Has anyone worked at both an MBB and life science firm? Sometimes I think I would have been exposed to more interesting/ in depth / more drug heavy projects if I went the life science route. Right now I see a lot of org transformation and people / Corp strategy health care cases at an MBB. But not sure which is better when thinking of exit opportunities in pharma. Thoughts?

I am a noogler, joining from MBB. I struggle to find motivation and meaning in my role (2 steps below what I used to do in MBB); my manager and I are cordial but we don’t have strong chemistry (difficult to understand each other as our thought processes are so different). I personally find some advice given by my manager unhelpful/bad/opposite of my principles. What should I do?

I have been offered a position at a non-US B4 with a 2 year path to partner. I know one of the partners at the local firm and have the support of the regional service line lead, and am bringing a specialized skill set they are trying to open a new business around. The KPIs seem achievable and I’ll be in charm school to help build support within that timeline. Most of me thinks a 2 year path under these circumstances realistic but my inner skeptic is jaded. Anything I might have missed?
