Hey Big4 fishes, especially at SM/Associate Director level!
Someone I know has been interviewing for SM/AD roles in the non-strategy business consulting verticals of the big4. They are looking to make an upward move (from M to SM) and two of the firms have given them feedback saying while they love the profile, they see a better fit at M since this person doesn’t bring selling capability.
Personally I call BS on that feedback but thought of checking with others. Views?

(1) What’s the main difference between TAS, FDD, and M&A? (2) What’s the senior and Manager salary range for each of them in a MCOL city? (3) What’s the future employment prospect for each of them? (4) Overall, which one is better and has more growth and financial opportunity? (5) Can you get consulting jobs at MBB with experience from either of the 3 service lines? Asking for a friend!😊. TIA.

I think if you’re solely looking at HC based on the perception it’s “recession-proof”, I think you’re going about it all wrong.

Honestly QoE, DDL, ND is all the same at the end of the day. Specializing in healthcare is just more work than normal because you need to understand waterfalls, more technical know how. But at the end of the day, you tell a healthcare FDD person to do FDD on a non healthcare client, it’s the same thing. Unless you only do physician practices/hospitals, tele-health/medical manufacturing/vaccines/pharma are just normal companies too, same with medtech.
The adjustments are pretty similar accross industries with nuances. Given how complex healthcare and life sciences can get, im very certain someone in healthcare FDD won’t have a problem working in other industries.
^ Agreed. It’s much harder to go from non-healthcare to heathcare than from healthcare to non-healthcare.

If you don’t want to do HC, why would you specialize in it based on an event that comes around every 8-10yrs? It is very specialized given all the HC lingo you have to understand so you’re setting yourself up for misery.

There are some industry specific issues but nothing that you can’t learn through iteration of projects. That said it’s always better to pick a industry you like and want to work in the long term

No industry is recession proof.
