how to break into equity research?
Currently transitioning out of MBB after 2 and a half YOE, and I’ve been lucky enough to land verbal AD level corporate strategy offers at BMS, Novartis, AbbVie, and Pfizer. 2 are in SF, 1 in NJ, 1 in Boston, and they all pay about the same (~215 base +/- 10k). If I want to optimize for career trajectory and growth opportunities, as well as the long term outlook of the company as a whole, which of these would be best, and do you have any advice for how best to establish myself?
I have nearly 4 years of consulting experience, 3 of those in market access consulting at a rather smaller firm in UK. I plan on shifting to Paris soon so I'm looking for exit opportunities in pharma/biotech. Any insights on which kind of roles could work for me in Franche, French language requirements and WLB (I'm practically burnt out) would be helpful to manage the move.
Is it just me, or is P&MA booming this year? Recruiters have been spamming my inbox recently
For those who have escaped to industry, curious how WLB differs between consulting and some of the more high-visibility functions like BD/CorpDev at a larger biotech with a reputation for intensity like a BridgeBio or similar? Versus say a supporting role in insights or forecasting? I understand a lot is manager and company dependent but curious the range of folks' experience. Thanks in advance
Anyone working at ProcDNA ? I've heard negative reviews about the company and wanted to get perspectives from current or former employees. One thing I've heard repeatedly is that company may be leveraging materials, frameworks and approaches commonly used at ZS Associates but delivering at lower cost. How accurate is this perception ? what is the reality in terms of project quality, client work, leadership and growth ? would appreciate honest feedback
PhD
Not 100% required but without PhD your upward trajectory is somewhat limited/capped
