Among the MBB firms, which one has the strongest presence in the life sciences, pharma, or biotech sectors? Do any of them specialize in specific areas within the broader life sciences landscape? I’ve heard that Bain tends to be more active in life sciences private equity, while BCG and McKinsey may focus more on pharma strategy—but I’d love to hear any insights or first-hand experiences you might have. Thanks in advance! McKinsey & Company Bain & Company Boston Consulting Group

Hi I am 24, I have a degree in pre health bio and chemistry minor. I have about two years of experience working in a lab and as of about 5 months ago I started a job as a microbiologist. I would like to go get my masters in microbiology but I also have an interest in epidemiology. I have a lot of different interest in the science field, I just don’t know what all is out there. If anyone is comfortable sharing what they do and what it took to get there. I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

Hi all — quick question for the group. I'm working with a fast-growing life sciences manufacturing company in the regenerative medicine (tissue grafting space), and we're looking to bring in a top-tier accounting firm that really understands biotech manufacturing. Specifically, we need deep experience with inventory and WIP costing, COGS, cash-to-accrual transition, etc. If you've worked with or know of firms that are truly strong in this niche (national or boutique)... Thank you very much.

I have 15 years of experience in a laboratory setting. I am in school for an associates degree in automation. I want to break into the biomed industry/field either working on instruments lab or imaging. Does anyone work as a bio med tech with non biotech degree? What are my chances of using my new automation degree along with my experience in the lab to snag a spot in Siemens, rouche, beckmen colter? Is it worth getting the BMET certification? Does Bio med tech pay well in FLORIDA?

Hi everyone, I’m trying to break into the biotech/pharma industry without a degree or direct science experience. I bring transferable skills from previous roles and have upskilled with qualifications in GCP, GLP, Biology, and Project Management. I’ve found it challenging to get support as an entry-level candidate, as most recruiters/companies focus on senior roles. If you know anyone I could reach out to for guidance or opportunities, I’d really appreciate it! *Please see my interests ⬇️*

Still on the job market since March, but keeping busy and growing. During this time, I earned my Certification in Public Health (CPH) and advanced my Lean Six Sigma certification to Green Belt (LSSGB). If you know of any opportunities in health tech or Bio-Pharm, please feel free to reach out. A sincere thank you to everyone who has already shared leads or extended support! Please refrain from soliciting resume writing services and recruiting services with added cost.

Hello everyone, I am a recent graduate with a master's degree in biomedical engineering from Ulster University, Northern Ireland, and a bachelor's degree in EEE from Bangladesh. I am currently based in Belfast on a PSW visa and seeking entry-level roles in biomedical or related engineering fields. Most positions require experience, which is challenging. I would greatly appreciate any advice on job searching, gaining experience, and securing future sponsorship opportunities

It seems like the biotech field is in a slump right now for entry-level life sciences patent prosecution. Even with my JD and M.S. in biochemistry (both received in 2025), every firm seems to want at least 2+ years of life sciences prosecution experience. My best shot these days seems to be becoming an examiner at the patent office, but I've heard horror stories from there as well. Any advise for a job-seeking freshly-minted patent attorney in this market?

hi, im a masters genomics graduate with undergrad in biomed, and i just want people's perspectives on what the actual job market is like. every position that i thought would be available to me when i checked a year ago, has a doctorate requirement now. I've been job hunting for a while, even had my cv evaluated and it looks great, im also doing things like taking ai training courses and python courses to boost my employability. no luck thus far.
