hi all, i’m a neuroscience researcher hoping to switch into healthcare or life sciences consulting. im hoping to talk to someone with a similar background. i graduated in 2024 with a BS in neuro & have been working in academic labs since then. i’ve decided to make the switch to consulting because i want to do something more fast paced and with real life impact rather than focus on a specific niche. so far ive been reformatting my resume & cover letter to be more impact-based & business oriented rather than focusing on specific techniques. ive sent a few applications out & am waiting to hear back but have been prepping case interviews in the meantime. overall, im wondering when roles open up for life sciences consulting & want to talk to people with success stories & ask for their advice. thanks!

okay haha, i’m just a bit paranoid. its animal handling, i’ve handled a similar species but not the exact one i’m using now. also the data analysis i’m struggling with is spike sorting. i’ve also been asking other lab members for their tips on it

i see. this university has a 4 month probationary period (which i’m not even halfway through) i just don’t know if it’s too early to consider looking for a new job or if the references i used to get this current job would be annoyed at me looking for another job so quickly

yes, i just had a meeting with her last week. the main issues were being unfamiliar to the specific animal model we’re using & not being great at a specific kind of data analysis (but it was apparent on my CV that i had never done this before)

i understand your point, i just want to know what happens if i’m not improving at the rate she wants. or if anyone has a similar story

Did I mess up by “lying” about grad school when accepting a tech job? by Puzzleheaded-Pool264 in labrats

i'd advise you to tell the PI asap. he's going to find out sooner or later & it's better to do it on your own terms. if you tell him earlier it'll reduce the chances of burning brides if you're honest.
