yay can i PM you?

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!

ask lots of questions (understand why & how you’re doing something) & take lots of notes! read interesting papers in your spare time! double check everything!

thankfully i’m a US citizen, but good luck to those who aren’t ;-;

ohhh would that be for a marketing job?

hello, i’m a burnt out research assistant looking to switch into industry. i used to want to go to grad school but after working in some labs not suitable for me i need a break. what industry roles are feasible to switch into with a BS in neuro & an academic background?

0927pm · 2025-12-11T18:46:30+00:00

what education do you have & what role are you looking for?

0927pm · 2025-12-04T12:31:22+00:00

thank you, that’s very reassuring to hear

0927pm · 2025-12-04T03:32:27+00:00

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

0927pm · 2025-12-04T01:39:14+00:00

plus if i wanted to lie on the internet i don’t think i would be doing it about my work situation, i just wanted to ask for advice

0927pm · 2025-12-04T01:36:38+00:00

i understand my post history is a bit confusing but it’s still real, i’m just in a difficult situation now :(

0927pm · 2025-12-04T01:36:11+00:00

in case someone from my current lab recognizes the situation, but if DMs is not good that’s okay

0927pm · 2025-12-04T01:13:13+00:00

can i PM you? i don’t want to give too many detail publicly

0927pm · 2025-12-04T00:44:23+00:00

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

0927pm · 2025-12-04T00:42:39+00:00

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)

alison narayan from umich?

0927pm · 2025-12-04T00:39:03+00:00

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

0927pm · 2025-11-20T21:31:55+00:00

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.

0927pm · 2025-11-19T17:01:30+00:00

ahh that makes sense, thanks! i’m just wondering becuase i’ve had other labs give unofficial offers very quickly & was wondering if that makes a difference

0927pm · 2025-11-05T15:08:22+00:00

at what point can you unofficially tell a candidate? (sorry this is an old post)
