Out of curiosity- what’s the biggest jump in title you’ve seen or heard about to exit in industry? For example, I know an EM that went to a biotech a couple years ago and landed and Exec Director role.

Know of a C with 3 YOE from a life science shop who went to a biotech as an AD which was atypical from what I've seen. Typically they move into M or SM roles.

SC to SM. 50% pay hike

EM (just over 3 YOE post undergrad) to AD big Pharma

Life sciences boutique, MBB, IB, leadership development programs into commercial, market access, strategic forecasting/insights roles

I feel like EM to ED/SD (sometimes companies have both, sometimes they’re the same thing) is pretty common for the MBB w/ MD crowd

Yah fair, I guess most of my anecdotal examples are either MD or life sciences consulting post undergrad —> MBA —> MBB EM Life sciences so they had almost ten years experience at that point.

Despite the same title, I do think that makes a difference vs the 25 yr old EM

How can I sell my 2 years of clerkship as valuable experience for corporate work? I would like to get credit for at least one year (at least in salary, if I can’t in seniority). I know for litigation they are more clearly valued and linked to that type of work, but I have reconsidered my interests and now am thinking of going into corp. However, I don’t want to feel like I wasted 2 years clerking (which I don’t feel like that, but I have to convince an employer of that too). Any help or insight?

Does anyone have any advice on how to make a decision? Go with what I want to do, or go with the more well known agency and higher gs?
