Tons of hiring from EYP to MBB right now, especially Bain and BCG - interview is very likely if you get a referral

If you are truly EY-P aligned, then they’ll give you a look, especially in this market.

Yes absolutely. I joined Mckinsey from EY. If you come from EYP, it should be much easier..

Comp is higher at S& but the quality and types of projects are similar (comparing EYP Strategy and S&/S& Deals Strat). Exits will largely be similar as well, with some variation by industry,

To McKinsey? Most seem to go to BCG or Bain, must’ve been a good catch. But good to know the chance is out there.

Hello all
I am a biology graduate. I worked in cancer research and development for more than two years. Recently moved to Canada, and now I'm wanting to transition into clinical research.
Most jobs I find online ask for atleast 2 years clinical experience.
Does anyone have any tips on how to procure this experience? Should I invest in a course? Or should I volunteer at a CRO?
I recently got offered a clinical admin position, would this count as clinical exp?
