Need to be flexible buddy manager and up

I saw people have associate direct and they are similar to manager or senior manager at other companies

Would say forget about title and look at responsibilities and salary

This. And, forget about McKinsey compensations. MBB hungry big pharma are pretty much undergoing workforce reductions these days.

I’ve been trying to get into pharma for the last 6 months… no success so far. I can tell you networking and referrals from senior management is everything! Following to get tips from others.

Generally at director level and up.you need an extensive experience base and background in med/pharm/sci or whatever other functional field. There are strategy/op roles we pick up consultants for but they're pretty sparse.

Hi fishies! Considering an internal big 4 move from Western Europe to Dubai.

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.

I love my job in special education, the job may bring quite a bit of stress and exhaustion but nothing compares to the stress of the related service team. OT, PT, speech, BCBA, social worker, etc etc is really what’s killing me this year. It is 23 days into the school year and the team members all make different plans and as a result, nothing is being accomplished. And if paraprofessionals follow ie what OT says but not PT, it cause so much unnecessary conflict!
