Clinician/researcher w/ masters degree working in genetics/rare disease looking to break into healthcare consulting. I work at a top pediatric hospital and degree is from top university. I’ve applied to a few Deloitte roles with a referral but haven’t heard back - any advice on how to break into the consulting space?

Look for alumni (from your hospital, university, any organization you've been part of) that are now in consulting. Network with them, rinse and repeat until it's becomes second nature. By this time, ideally, you should have made real connections with at least a few people from different firms. They know you're looking for a consulting role, bring up a referral with tact and again ideally, you should end up with multiple interviews. This can be a time intensive process, but things can move quickly once they you're referred. So start networking, working on your resume and your case interview practice simultaneously. DM if you have any questions, happy to help.

Early 30s M here. Used to be really good on stage until I got a consulting job out of college.

I love consulting and have financial safety doing what I do today but I sure do miss the adulation, applause and life-energy the stage brought me. It was just…so adrenaline inducing.

No, career pivot is not an option. Prepping myself for a mid-life crisis in a few years. Already off all kinds of social media because it hurts to see all the mediocre people getting famous (Sorry for the hubris).

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year.

I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?
