Would the kind of work in Pharma industry right out of MBA better than going there through consulting? I am getting offer for Brand Manager at Eli Lilly but fear the work will get very narrow and repetitive.

Better? Hard to say. More sustainable from a lifestyle perspective? Yes.

I was in a similar position as you coming out of my MBA - after 2 years in consulting I’m burnt out, still don’t really know what I want to do, and have had my options narrowed based on my alignment in my firm (B4 Supply Chain/Manufacturing).


That being said, salary progression has outpaced my peers, and the exit ops I do have are higher paid than my peers.


As a side note - culture at Lilly was great while I was staffed there, but you couldn’t pay me enough money to live in Indianapolis.

Brand marketing is tedious but it is the first step on the rung to commercial leadership typically.

There are a couple of sub specialities but you typically work with the agency to create materials and then work to get them through whatever legal review and vetting process your company has to ensure they don't get cross ways with regulators.

Things that come to my mind are government-related, military, some fintech. Sciences have great need of computing, and can have big impact, but income is less clear.
