Dilemma - Career Advice Needed Please

Jul 23, 2021 5 Comments

I am currently in the Pharma industry approaching 1 YOE as a Business Performance Analyst with a BS Biology and MBA. I passively searched for other roles and have two offers in consulting:

1 - Deloitte - Specializing in data analytics across all industries

2 - Industry Specific Consulting Firm - General consulting in strategy and change but I will be Exclusively in Pharma industry

Outside of compensation - any advice on how I should go about picking between the two offers or staying at my current role?

  • What's the second consulting firm? What is the brand like? What happens if you want to pivot outside of the pharmaceutical industry? What if you take Deloitte and end up in industries you're not interested in? What are the exit opportunities and growth opportunities for both roles? Look on LinkedIn and see the trajectory of folks in those spaces at both companies

    "approaching 1 YOE" - wow, almost one whole year? You're ready to get $600 bazillion as CEO now!

    C'mon kid, this early it doesn't matter. Try a few things but don't get a reputation as a job hopper unless you have a good story for why you left each one.

    Deloitte will work you to the bone. I’ve avoided them and PwC for that reason. I will say that if you’re early in your career, it may be good to grind a bit as you’ll be able to springboard from that role to another.

    Industry specific firm. Pharma is booming, you’d be a fool to leave the industry now.
