Yes sir

A lot varies whether you’re on the R&D, manufacturing, or commercial side of the business. Could be process improvement, system implementations, portfolio management, benchmarking, procurement, risk mgmt, etc....the list goes on and on.

Map out the process from taking a molecule to market. Consultants will have a hand throughout the entire process. Skewed heavy towards commercial bc that’s where most $ is and execution risk lies

like

Commercial diligence, go to market strategy, indication assessments, asset prioritization, brand planning, etc

I do similar work to EM1 as well

Launch strategy, portfolio optimization, M&A, Acquisition screening, governance, etc

I would add regulatory to the list too. Pharma manufacturers have to report pricing and comply with a myriad of laws (most of which they don’t have a firm understanding of). Albeit, this is less well paid than commercial strategy and market access gigs.

But I do a fair amount of pricing as well. Especially in modeling the intersection of government and commercial payers.

Mine has been very broad.

Org design, growth planning, staff aug PM (in medical and manufacturing), process improvement, and general bitch work. Been across marketing teams to medical to r&d and manufacturing

I love working at the bookstore and I'm proud to work with such a large group of people from different backgrounds. I'm really happy we're all here. But it probably isn't the best idea to get someone to reshelve books when they haven't been taught how to categorize them properly. It's like I spend most of the day following one of my coworkers around and discreetly fixing what he works on. He's a great guy, very personable, but wow is it frustrating.

Why do consulting firms terminate employment of Junior consultants for no serious reason ? Taking juniors like luxury interim people...

She felt profoundly disrespected and says that if nobody can take her longer than 6 months, she can't progress alone. How can she move forward and persuade her future employer to confirm her employment?
