Stay in healthcare. Have you not seen the blood bath in FS? You can take the CFA, or just get a an Associate job in the healthcare group of a bank ( think banking or equity research). However these jobs are very hard to get, so good luck!

Your easiest bet would be to request a move to Accenture's FS practice. Do a couple of projects, see what it's like.

Try the capital markets group at Accenture. Their projects are the most relevant.

It's known as "switching Operating Units". Communicate it to your manager and see if they are able to help or find the right resources to do so

If not, network your way to gain contacts in FS for staffing there & it'll be easy then

I appreciate all the answers. A1 thank you. That's exactly what I was looking for. A2, yeah I know it's not an easy shift, but I figure it's worth an effort. Especially if it means building a specialty in something I don't want a future in, it's almost like I'm wasting my time now

True. Just to clarify, I do mean staying at Accenture, just trying to gain some experience for a potential future when I leave consulting to go in the financial sector vs the health care one

I'm trying to switch from resources to healthcare, so far it hasn't been easy.

Exactly how I feel. I'm a senior analyst getting a promotion to consultant this coming December, so I want to officially make the switch as I get the promotion - especially since we're supposed to be specializing in something by now.

I hear ya. I've heard the best time to make the switch is during promotion time. I'd even be willing to relocate if it meant changing industries.

I know this because I'm in the same boat as well. Trying to move from FS to Products. Also up for promo to Consultant

I've become really jaded about consulting. I find all so often you need to tell the client what they want to hear to keep their business and I feel like so much of the what I recommend doesn't actually get implemented. I'm looking to make a career switch so I can both create and execute on my strategies. A product management path seems very promising for this.

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?

Are firms willing to negotiate the role with campus hires? I received an offer for a big 4 in risk, which I signed early in September, but just now received another offer in TAS from a different firm. While I much prefer the big 4 firm, I do not want to work in risk anymore. Would a big 4 be willing to change groups? Have you heard of anyone able to do this? I feel kind of bad, but I truly despise the idea of working in risk now. ( My friend who's in the role right now hates it)

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?
