Hi everyone,
I am close to completing my M.Sc. in Pharmaceutical Research and hold a B.Sc. in Chemistry from leading universities in Germany. I am highly motivated to start a career in pharma/life sciences consulting because I want to work at the intersection of science, strategy, and business impact in the healthcare industry.
I have already started preparing applications for next year and would appreciate advice on how to position myself best.
My main questions are:
- How realistic is a direct entry into pharma/life sciences consulting with my scientific background?
- How can I best leverage my scientific profile compared to candidates from business or finance?
- Which steps would most increase my chances before applying, especially regarding case preparation, business knowledge, or relevant experience?
I would deeply appreciate your valuable insights.
