I want to move into consultancy, specifically business strategy, however I have no "relevant" (ie consulting/commercial) experience. I am a research scientist for a major Pharms company and can demonstrate leadership, problem solving etc etc, but not in a commercial environment.
I am only 25, so retraining is not a problem...
Is my experience worth a hoot? Or should be applying for graduate positions?
Are there any firms that like people with a science background?
What can I do to boost my chances?
I've thought about moving to marketing (or other commercial depts) within my current employer for a couple of years to gain exposure to this side of the business.
I am UK (North West) based and am under no illusion that consulting is anything other than hard work!
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
