Hello! I am a life sciences consultant in the United States with a PhD. I see lots of hiring - Norstella, Syneos, Veeva, Chartis - but is anyone ACTUALLY hiring? Are these ghost jobs? They seem to be reposted ad nauseam. What is your experience in your own company?

Deloitte coming in strong with those requirements. Senior consultant, Medical information

Is anyone else getting contacted for a ton of LS consulting jobs? I feel like the market is strong but only in this sector

what’s the best therapeutic area to concentrate in for maximizing future opportunities if you have the choice? oncology, immunology, etc?

Former US based pharma consultant with ~3y of experience in market access, competitive intelligence with boutique HLS shops. Have struggled to get any traction in the last year to find work, market conditions aside also geographically constrained (home is in the SW region), most roles are concentrated in the N/NE and the Raleigh-Durham region. What are some suggestions to stay relevant and meaningfully engaged, the resume gap is now becoming a sticking point.
