Dear all,
I am currently working at one of the major pharmaceutical companies (Director level) and thinking of switching to PE. Have got PhD in life science from one of the top institutions and worked at MBB for 3.5 years before joining the pharma.
Has anyone made a similar transition or seen a case like mine?
