It's $29.99 a month, I only recently upgraded because now I'm serious about pursuing something. It's not much but I also did get reached out to by recruiters, immediately after the upgrade. I guess it just depends on how serious you are about pursuing a job and willing to network. Wish I had done it earlier and not waited until I was ready to move on.

Better to get on the ball earlier than later I suppose. Thanks again OP!

Who told me to reach out to recruiters in LA. 4 LinkedIn messages to recruiters in LA and no response. Can anyone help me out? Drinks or coffee on me if you can meet in person!

Los Angeles is where I am located but I'm flexible on relocation.

Yes, same VP! I miss the diversity of projects and teams, I miss the travel, I miss the almost unlimited networking and social environment. I miss the fact that you are essentially evaluated by your billable hours, which demonstrates competency. I miss the extracurricular opportunities within consulting. I can keep going but that's a large part of it.

Tbh billable hours don't really matter at BCG - unless there's a serious gap- until principal/ partner level or if you're take up the expert role/path

Good to know... The point I was trying to make is that if you're good and you have motivated attitude, you'll be staffed more and thus have a higher billable rate; whereas in my company right now, it's all about politics and talking yourself up, and nothing to do with work product.

OP how do I get into Healthcare PE

Fair enough.

Honestly, like what I'm doing now. Put yourself out there. Upgrade LinkedIn to premium and send a couple messages out a month. Ask to buy them coffee or drinks to learn more about their area. Attend healthcare conferences... I.e. JPM healthcare. Be a little stalker-ish.

I appreciate it OP. Always wondered if LinkedIn Premium was worth it. Consultant now. Think I should wait till Post MBA?

I hear you OP - best of luck!
