IQVIA (previously QuintilesIMS) and Simon Kucher tend to be best known for P&MA, particularly the pricing component.

As far as MA strategy, I think most of the usual names will pop up, including MBB. I believe we tend to do less pricing work than the aforementioned, though.

Haha, I'm new to consulting and work for at a boutique consulting so looking for additional perspectives

I think you're misunderstanding my ask. The firm is solid too, since I switched from pharma to consulting, I am new to the world of consulting. Therefore, looking to understand how do other P&MA firms operate, staff, the type of projects they work on, etc. - all from a personal learning standpoint! Would love to hear about your exp. at ZS.

Syneos!

Hi fellow PE fishes, seeking career advice.
Currently in an APAC based LMM/MM PE focusing on tech and had joined the firm straight out of school. I intend on sticking to PE long term, but am curious about my career and financial trajectory in 3 cases.

1) stick to my current firm and eventually make partner

2) go for a Master’s degree and then move to an UMM/MF PE or MBB -> UMM/MF

3) Stay in the current firm and start my own fund with other Associates in the future.

When I ask my manager for advice about how to do something, he usually just tells me I'll "figure it out yourself." But when it comes down to it, he doesn't help me at all by doing that—he just makes me feel like an idiot. And then when I do figure it out myself and bring the answer back to him, he won't even look at it! He'll just say something like "Oh yeah, thank you," and give me another assignment.

I have to admit that I wasn't terribly impressed by the virtual Co-Lo for Digital.

Digital culture, and how we are real and take care of each other, is just AMAZING. That speech alone made me so proud to be here and turned around a lot of my negative thoughts.
