Realize Life Sciences isn’t for me and would rather seek generalist opps. Should I expect any difference in approach in applying to T2 firms vs B4 for lateral moves?

not really, just apply. T2 is a pay raise, B4 is a pay cut. T2 will downlevel, B4 will bump you or at least match. imo B4 isn't worth leaving to and the work probably won't be more interesting anyways. Even some T2 might not be a significant enough pay bump if at all to be worth leaving for (e.g. Accenture or Deloitte Strategy, even EYP to some extent). That really leaves you with S&, OW, LEK, and K. I'm assuming K will be hard to get to because they might not be LS focused at all but idk.

Two big four firms but my title can give away what those two could be. Received offers from both of them after Zs and they both were higher.

ZS would not budge on countering

I interviewed for a role in compliance that I want. My core skills are great and exactly what they’re looking but I didn’t have the experience with knowing multiple states reg. They recruiter assured that it isn’t an automatic no, but it’s up to the hiring manager to decide to train on that. He did tell me they are interviewing other people and that they do have that experience but they may not have those core skills. What do y’all think? How could they not have the core skills?

Hiring managers: let’s say you are interviewing someone with a lot of relevant experience, but may not be totally on point. What’s going to sell you on that person? This is truly a vague question, but are you looking for honesty about what they have vs haven’t done? Can you tell when someone is trying to spin it? (Feel free to also include anything that turns the candidate to a hard no.)
