Worked at trinity after PhD, left a few years ago to join bd team of one of the clients / mid size biotech. Overall, good money and Def better wlb (maybe 45-50hr regular weeks but can get busy to 55-60hr depending on Corp needs), interesting enough of work but not really loving the Corp culture or bearuecracy, so I'm exploring at the moment but I'm not desperate enough to really put a lot of effort I to it like I was when trying to get out of consulting mainly for wlb reasons.

If you don’t mind me asking, how many YOE before leaving for BD?

No name life science boutique >>> Equity research >>> ????. The work is a lot more interesting and fast paced, the hours are longer and more unpredictable

Could you tell us a bit more about your work? What does it entail?

Left my namesake for small biotech. Love the the work and the people. Hours can be long because there is a ton to do and only a small team but really don't mind.

5+ years of full-time job as developer and still waiting to reverse a LinkedList at work.

Since there is a heavy impetus on solving Tree, LinkedList, and Graph problems for tech interviews, it can naturally make freshers believe that these concepts will be used in day-to-day life at work. In reality, most of these DSA concepts are already implemented in some libraries our code uses and we rarely have to code such Algorithms by hand.

Problem solving skill >>> DSA
