Bain & Company Curious as to what the best way to get into healthcare strategy would be? Ive been in the government healthcare / payer provider analytics consulting space for the last 8 years, and I’ve heard so many people say that getting an MBA when you’re already in consulting isn’t worth it. Any advice is appreciated! Thanks! Deloitte PwC McKinsey & Company Bain & Company Oliver Wyman

As in industry roles or just more dedicated strategy work? If the latter, then apply to healthcare boutiques. For example, The Chartis Group, or one of the many life sciences consultancies was.

I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
