Consulting Firms Hiring PhD STEM
Hello,
Does anyone know which firms outside the big 3 hire PhD's as consultants? I'm guessing there's been a discussion on this before, so a link to it would also be helpful.
Thanks!

Most firms with a presence in life sciences do so
OW
Mostly life sciences or LS focused - ZS, IQVIA, CRA, LEK, Trinity, Clearview, Putnam, Clarion, Health Advances... might be missing a few smaller shops here
Thanks! Do you know if LS consulting firms like these hire only those with a degree in a life science field? Or do they typically hire engineering grads as well?
Biomedical engineering seen more or less the same light as LS PhDs. I've seen physics and mechanical engineering PhDs break into these firms - To be honest it all depends on the firm culture and how you sell yourself (i.e. answering the why LS consulting?)
