What kind of hard and soft skills and case experience should I develop to exit into corporate strategy/ BD at biotech/pharma? Alternatively, how would this differ for LS VC exits? Just hit a year in consulting and nervous about lacking the required skills for such exits. For context I have a bio PhD and mostly supported implementation and org transformation projects. Any advice deeply appreciated!

I have heard that they value the scientific background for the DD aspect of pharma/biotech so it sounds like you have that. I think some sort of transactions/investment banking experience would be a good complementary skillset for that. But wonder if you can forego the transactions type skillset and lean on your scientific background to get a foot into the space. Others will likely have better advice.

While the OP has the academic background it's important to have DD project experience (commercial/pipeline landscape, epi, rx trends, pricing, market research to feed the model and actual modeling as mentioned etc). Re: soft skills, if you are okay as a consultant socially that's enough to get the job. When on the job however, being able to facilitate / project manage with senior folks across multiple functions even if it may not be your job can be handy.

5 month ago I joined Ceridian IT as remote. Due to nature of work, I have very little to no involvement with other parts of my team. I like what I do, pay is ok, manager is not so involved. That’s pretty much my life rn. With all the news about recession and what not, what do you think about Ceridian’s future? I found a few including Dropbox, Uber, Shopify hiring for the similar role that I’m in. Should I consider those or where would you place Ceridian among these companies?

Serious question. I have over 5 years of HR experience and recently transitioned to an Employment Supervisor with a new company. They hired me for this role solely off of what I have done in the past for my previous Fortune 500 job as an HR Specialist. I am starting to “get bored” because it’s solely hiring. I am looking at other options but I am torn because I do not have an education in this field. But based off my experience and plans to go to college this year, is it silly to apply else wher

I got an average LSAT score and went to a mid-tier law school where I did average. I did really well in undergrad and I’m a good writer and speaker. But my legal analysis skills are mediocre. Do you think those can improve over time? Or should I think about transitioning to another career that better utilizes my skills?
