Does it strategically make any sense for me as a Life Science / Healthcare consultant to pursue a CPA? I’m not necessarily interested in finance / accounting specific work, but wondering if this will support long term career trajectory, increase credibility, and make me stand out.

I have a non-business background, STEM undergrad, and came from industry.

i saw a few “healthcare consultant” postings on a&m’s website. it looks like they’re all apart of HIG and some require just 1 year of experince.

is there only one team at a&m that focuses on healthcare? i also heard you need several years of experince to apply to their team. has this changed?

Currently a PM at a large tech company (close FANGMULA). Used to work in markets and while there are lots of benefits to this role, one of the biggest cons is the lack of bonding with coworkers. ie happy hours, dinners, parties etc. This role feels pretty isolating as the engineering teams are not too social.

Thinking of making a move to MBB, and have an offer at the moment. It's for a client facing product role.

Thoughts?
