Hi all,
Last Sept I obtained my PhD degree in Veterinary Medicine with a specialization in
veterinary virology from a state veterinary school in US. Slowly I have a feeling that bench research is not for me and I would like to go for a career in consulting especially in health care and biotech fields. So I have few questions and any feed back will be highly appreciated.
1. I am in my mid thirties. Will it affect the career in consulting??
2. How much I have chance to get into big three consulting companies. I have heard that they only hire top of the cream from Ivy league schools, so is it worth putting time and effort into trying?
3. Do boutique firms in health care hire fresh PhD?
Thanks in advance
