Desperately want to get into healthcare strategy consulting. 13 years of healthcare clinical experience including project work. MBA. But keep getting told by recruiters that I don't have enough experience to be a Consultant or Manager but that I have too much experience to enter in every level such as a Senior Associate. Just one rejection after another, even when applying with internal referrals from Director or Partner levels. What am I doing wrong?

Have you considered GT? We have a strong healthcare practice you may be able to join. Happy to discuss if you see an opportunity you like.

I haven't checked out GT. Will definitely look into it and reach out.

Ask them where they would place you then

I do and they say there isn't a level they feel comfortable placing me in.

What level are you applying for? SA? M?

Yes, both.

You didn't go to a T15 MBA. You would have easily recruited into the associate level from there.

Maybe go to a T15 now?

Recruiters suck.

Where are you applying?

Idk something might need to be adjusted in terms of your interviews because to me it sounds like an excuse they’re giving you that they don’t know where to place you.

Are you not willing to be a generalist for a bit and then specializing in healthcare?

Any interest in ZS? I'd be happy to talk if you have any questions

Damn, I'm sorry. Wish I could be of more help but good luck and I wish you all the best!
