Where are the most opportunities in LS Consulting? I’m looking at moving to NYC but wondering if Boston or SF is a better play. Ideally prefer to be in an in-person/hybrid role.

All three are good choices with strong opportunities imo. If you want to do Big Pharma consulting, NY/NJ/PA is especially great. Boston and SF tend to have more midsize and small biotechs if you're interested in the more emerging companies (also some Big Pharmas too).

I currently work for a biotech research firm based in SF (remote) so prefer midsize/small biotechs with specific platforms to stay as close to biotech as possible. Is it possible to do this in New York? I know there’s certainly an emerging biotech scene but obviously nowhere near Boston/SF

NYC has plenty of LS consulting. There are a ton of LS firms in NJ/NY that are covered by agencies in NYC.

Honestly I previously worked for a NJ-based consulting firm and easily half of my projects were for biotech, and I know people who were based in Boston who worked almost exclusively for large pharma. Consulting has gone so virtual that I'm not convinced location matters.
