What firms should I be considering for life science if I want to consider a step away from ZS (AC level)?

MBB aside, are there any that I should really keep in mind for consideration of a bump in comp, prestige, culture, or exit opportunities?

Depends on what life sci vertical you want to exit into.

LEK perhaps?

LEK, CRA, Putnam. But, depends on your desired functional focus.

Clear view?

Clearview is pretty close to ZS in terms of prestige, really would depend on what the OP wants to do and how it fits into the firms’ strengths

Check T2. LEK and life sciences arm of OW and Pantheon are options with better prestige and exit opportunities.

Hi Fishes, Pls help,
YOE: 13 yrs
Cctv: 13 lpa

Have cleared HCL interview. Initially they offered 23 lpa (via proposed offer letter, to be approved by L4), but i requested to reconsider it for 25 lpa. After 5 days, they sent final offer letter of 19 lpa (stating they can offer max 50% as per L4 approval).

I don't have any other offer as of now. What should I do?

I recently lateraled into Big Law. Most of my colleagues are homegrown. My shift did involve a big change in practice area, and there's work that I haven't done before that I now have to do.

But, sometimes I feel stupid here, even for work which I have done previously. It's like I'm unable to understand instructions the first time around. And I have seen my colleagues getting annoyed by that. It's like I've become dumb. In my defence, I could say they're giving half assed instructions.

I’m a 9th year in a mostly litigation-based practice group at a one-tier partnership firm. My group’s billable hours have been low the last few years, so making partner will be nearly impossible, and a counsel position is not viable long-term in my group. What’s the best option here if partnership is the ultimate goal? Try to get a NEP/counsel position at another firm, which is likely difficult in my market, or offer to take a class cut by a few years?
