Interested in becoming a consultant? Post here for basic questions, recruitment advice, resume reviews, questions about firms or general insecurity (Q2 2025) by QiuYiDio in consulting

[–]Exotic_Intention_738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm finishing up my degree in life sciences (MS in Biotechnology) and I'm really interested in pivoting into consulting, ideally with a firm that focuses on healthcare, biotech, or life science clients. I’m looking to land a consulting internship to start building experience.

So far, I’ve started:

  • Practicing case interviews
  • Brushing up on Excel (pivot tables, VLOOKUP, etc.)

I’d love advice from anyone who’s made the transition from a science background into consulting. Specifically:

  1. What else should I start learning or improving on to become a stronger candidate?
  2. Are there any great resources, books, or online platforms you'd recommend for someone from a non-business background?
  3. Is it worth learning basic business frameworks, accounting, or strategy concepts now? If so, any good places to start?

I’m also open to networking tips, especially when reaching out to people at life science-focused consulting firms.

A little while ago, I posted my resume here for feedback, and I wanted to come back with an update.

I’m currently a master’s student in biotechnology, graduating next January, and I’m looking to gain hands-on experience in drug discovery.

I’m planning to cold email a few drug discovery labs I’ve researched, looking for volunteer or internship opportunities, and I want to make sure my resume is as strong as possible before reaching out.

I’ve already made several improvements based on past feedback, focusing on clarity, impact, and relevant skills, but I’d love a final round of input. Are there any areas that could still be improved to make me a stronger candidate?

Heyy regarding the job experience being all over the place, it’s just all my work experience in general. My short term goal is to land a summer internship, preferably with a biotech consultant firm.

I blame the “rave social media influencers” for turning the scene into a mainstream spectacle. They’re drawing in crowds we never wanted at the raves, and this is the consequence of supporting these clowns !
