Why are there so many pharma analytics consulting companies? Do they purely compete on price, it’s a race to the bottom? And why wouldn’t big pharma want to have these capabilities in house?

Anyone sincerely concerned there will be hiring freezes with the coronavirus? I’ve been diligently applying and reaching out to my contacts for the past two months and am getting discouraged.

At the donor egg phase and just not dealing with it well. Having all kinds of regrets if I tried hard enough. Maybe should have ate better, tried all these different things. Did I do IVF too quickly? Some say IVF makes your eggs worse. Is this true???

How can one overcome anxiety when presenting?

Hi All,
Can anyone help me with a referral in PwC.Thanks in advance

600sqft 1 bedroom in kips bay, $1800 (walk-up, no laundry in building, no doorman) for year lease

Would be moving from 6th floor walk up $1400 month to month in prime LES with two roommates(not my best friends but nice).

Would you move?

Considering:
1. costs to make the move itself
2. I like to run so options downtown seem better but not familiar with kips Bay Area
3. Commuting anywhere
4. Restaurants
5. I’m 23

I don’t make 40x my rent. So I most likely would need a guarantor. What kind of documents do apt buildings usually ask from a guarantor?? I’m asking to know if I could ask a family member or if it will be too personal and they may not want to share such documents/info with me.

I you get released from and project and you are in pool under a manager but not RMG in tcs ,and you resign so notice period remains same 90 days or can be reduced ?

Anyone working in global pricing & market access (P&MA) consulting? New to the field and conscious which firms are top in their game

I'm currently in a consulting manager role internal to a well regarded pharma company. However, i have been contacted about a role at IQVIA for a new pure strategy internal group that they are standing up. It would be a 55% salary boost with director title and completely remote. Should I consider it? The salary increase and location flexibility are alluring.

Hi! Does anyone work for DeciBio? I’ve been trying to break into consulting and believe their Life Science Analyst position would be perfect for me. So far I love everything i’ve read about the firm, but i’d love to talk more with someone and possibly get a referral. I plan to apply this week. Thanks!

ZS 🐠 - can you receive sponsorship for MBA prior to having tenure of 3 years? If not, what is the downside of applying after 1 or 2 years? I am coming in with 3+ YOE in consulting, so my application would be competitive for next fall (or ‘23)

How much would you expect a AD of forecasting at big pharma to make? Glassdoor says 161 average but that feels low to me.
