Pfizer IS the exit.

You'll get a more broad range of experiences at Deloitte in the LS practice, with exposure to more than just what Pfizer does. Pfizer is also a large slower moving entity, but Pfizer is so big that you will still see a lot.

Plus, you do 2 years in the Pfizer strategy group you have a 2 year head start in the org and can see what divisions you like or don't like so when you roll off the strategy team into a P&L, you'll end up somewhere you like.

Curious, what does an R&D consultant actually do for a pharma company? PM type work?

I just view actual R&D as very technical, PhD heavy with work in the lab that I would never hire consultants for, but would like to know what value consulting adds

Curious about OP’s background - do you have a technical degree with emphasis on lab skills? Were you working in a technical scientific position before considering new positions?

Hello!
I was wondering what kind of contractual or other barriers I might face if I apply for one of the big 4 while working on a project with them in my current company.
I am not too involved in the project but I was in a few meetings and went on a field trip with them as well.
The position that I am applying for is in a different team and city.
Will this considered “poaching” if the consulting firm hires me? Would they need to talk to my current employer?

I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

3. When you have a minute, can I get your opinion on ____?
4. Does this help you clarify things?
