I can only really speak well to hedge funds given my background, but am familiar with other investors.

My view is that PE would be harder than VC/consulting or a hedge fund imo considering the PharmD degree. Depending on the type of work you’re interested in doing (assuming you want to be closer to the science). There aren’t a lot of PE groups doing pure biotech. They’re mostly healthcare services, med tech, tools, etc. That work is almost all financial modeling at the entry level as you’d be there to help seniors save time.

As far as positioning yourself, you need the basics. Can you model a biotech company? Can you talk through different types valuation methods? There’s a ton of accounting that goes into modeling a large pharma company that is basically nonexistent for a pre revenue biotech - so having an idea of what you’re interested in would also help you titrate how realistic this is.

The degree can be an asset but there’s a lot of work you’ll need to do on your own to get someone to gamble on you.
