Does MBB ever let people specialize in Life Sciences right off the bat at the post-MBA Consultant level or do you always have to start out as a generalist?

PhD in Metabolism here ๐Ÿ– you can specialize fairly quickly but it depends on your home base/ (more healthcare in SF or boston) and natural pull from project managers. I've done about 80% healthcare. but you're still suspectible to market demands. I'm currently staffed on a 4 months procurement study ๐Ÿ˜‘

Physicians frequently get the opportunity to start with a focus in healthcare as a whole and quickly get to hone in on specific niches thereafter.

Yes, just do your best to get those types of projects. You'll already be credentialed in the space so if there is work being sold there it shouldn't be too hard.

Do you work in the life sciences vertical/space at Deloitte?

Guilt and shame about working in a legal position for years where, instead of using my law degree (was supposed to do legal work per the job posting), I served as a personal assistant to my boss/did nothing for maybe half the time. I feel like I was paid for work I didn't do. I've since left that job but the guilt and shame remains. I feel that I lack the character of a lawyer and that I am unworthy of the profession. I don't know how to make up for the lost years or how to forgive myself.
