Essentially, a biotech investment banker plays a crucial role in connecting biotech companies with the funding and financial strategies they require to grow and succeed: Mergers & Acquisitions: e.g., Pfizer acquiring Seagen for $43 billion - In $43B buy, Seagen courted Pfizer and played the...

Oh man, oh man! All these years have passed since 2014... I opted for PA school over medical school when I graduated, and worked for a few years; then, I completed an MBA and moved to NYC, where I now work as a biotech investment banker

It all depends on your long-term goal. 1. MBB consulting would be much more worth it in the long-term if you're career-oriented; nonetheless, the MBB partner track takes about 10-12 years, then you can essentially lateral to a senior VP role of a healthcare/life sciences company 2. Also...

I'm a PA student almost done w/ rotations. All my preceptors have been primarily MD's which I prefer & enjoy (worked w/ PA's during rotation on the side - rounded with one on the stroke ICU, inpatient surgery, etc great experiences.) Had 1 NP preceptor (family medicine - 30 yrs exp) - awesome...

Not sure how not taking the MCAT implies I misinformed people. It was a decision made beforehand. I think I know what is, which isn't hard to believe, I'm assuming y'all wanted to see me kill the MCAT then........decide for PA school huh? To see if I was even "competent" to get into med school...

I figured, but it's okay :P

And I use to think just like this up until my junior/senior year in college.

Yes not easy, however I think it's indeed doable, if most of the focus is trying to attend a TOP MBA program in which many companies recruit at that school, shouldn't be a problem, of course depending on the market. (ie: management consulting is always alive & well - most individuals come from...

Completely understood, & nurses have an inherently stronger lobbying group as well, they do in fact have more opportunity and even can practice independently w/o being under the supervision of a Docs license. I personally was referring to an MBA with a transition into another sector, not...
