Any tips for narrowing the job search? I want to go to industry, but haven’t really learned anything industry specific / hard skills as a consultant. What roles outside S&O do consultants exit to?

For any job search I focus on skills that I enjoy doing “change management”, “strategic planning”, etc. that will help as you search then you can just do the necessary research on the company to sound like an “expert”. Also research the industry as a whole- where it’s going etc.

Another option is to say “hey I really like healthcare, I want to help people” then you can focus on that specific industry and the skills that you’re good at to market yourself.
