A little more detail. I’m a scientist in a biotech company; but I ended up being responsible for work in venture capital, business development, amongst other things. Now that I’ve left all my larger projects, I want to go into consulting. But is it a bad thing to go into a boutique consulting company or to stick to a large consulting company. I need some direction.

I am currently a graduate student and am applying for internships at consulting firms for the next summer (graduating in 2009). However, one of the career counselors suggest I also consider VC firms that specialize in biotech/technology ventures. What kind of work would a PhD scientist do at a VC firm? How would I fit in? Thanks!
