Very hard. May want to consider later move with accelerated promotion. Again I would say that is challenging too.

Would be shocked if you would come in a level higher with us. Does not set you up for success as you come in learning a new job without a network.

The question is, if Accenture is not promoting you and they know you, why would another firm promote you directly as an unknown factor? Not saying it’s not possible, but you better impress and give a good reason.

It’s not that they are not promoting me - I’m on track for promo in 1-2 years. Just considering switching firms. I’ve seen consultants from here go on to be managers at EY, PWC and KPMG so I was curious if it was possible at “tier 2” firms as well.

Hi All,

Need some career advice.

I have a year of experience in a clinical ops role where learning is quite stagnant. I’m eagerly looking to transition to good challenging opportunities in life science consulting/analytics and allied domains. Which organisations/startups/roles should one apply to being a non-technical applicant with a masters in biotechnology?

It would be really helpful to get your guidance on further course of action.

TIA!
