Academic experience in a consulting environment - Senior Economist Precision AQ Employee Review

I had no idea that a firm like this existed. It was a hard decision for me not to pursue academic opportunities after my PhD, but family constraints meant I had to be in the Los Angeles area. When I found PHE, with its rich portfolio of research opportunities, I jumped at the chance. The work is fascinating, the clients are very respectful (because of PHE's reputation), and the people are very smart. They are also very respectful of my family constraints. As I have grown to understand the research and business, I have also gotten more autonomy. I am learning management skills becasue I control the resources on my research team. I also get to interact with the client on a regular business, and am even learning some business development. I always planned to start my own firm some day, and this is the best training I could have.
