So what would these consulting firms want from a science phd? Here are the basic stats: B.S. Berkeley Molecular Biology, M.S. UCLA Neuroscience, and M.S./Ph.D UCI Biochemistry. Absolutely no formal business background. I'm not sure why I'm being recruited...since i'm not cocky either. So my question is: do I have a science/health care case to crack at the interview? I've read alot about what you business folks are saying, but from a science background...well, this all seems quite odd to interview like that. I guess I'm not sure what to expect. suggestions?

Management Consulting 7 Stories Review

“Daniel was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful in preparing my “Tell Me About Yourself” answer and seven interview stories. He went through my answers in great detail, providing constructive feedback and explaining everything very clearly. He always made sure I understood his suggestions before moving on. What I appreciated most was how he offered fresh perspectives and helped me better understand what interviewers are actually looking for. I gained so much from the session and really appreciated his guidance!”

Management Consulting Mock Interview

“Ashley’s industry expertise and depth of knowledge in product strategy are immediately clear. In every session, she breaks down complex management frameworks into easily digestible insights. Her communication style is direct, clear, and empathetic. Rather than giving vague or generic career advice, she provides highly actionable takeaways—including specific templates for stakeholder communications, prioritization frameworks, and real-world examples from her own leadership background that I was able to implement directly into my team's workflow the very next day. Furthermore, her kind, patient, and approachable demeanor made it extremely comfortable to discuss tough workplace scenarios and honest skill gaps without fear of judgment.”
