Exit options from healthcare consulting - where do people actually go? I hear colleagues talk about hospital leadership, payer strategy, health tech startups, but where do most ex-consultants actually end up? I love working in healthcare, but I want more stability. What’s the best next step?

Client delivery or success in the commercial offering market is a natural fit. If you have a specific expertise, you may find some opportunities in industry. But all in all, transitioning out of consulting can be difficult. Your level and years/type of experience also play a crucial role in your exit opportunities.

Reviving this older post, have you come across any answers? It feels like navigating the exit entails a lot of ambiguity and I’m also curious what others have actually done.

I had a client offer me a role with a non profit health system in years past. Eventually came back to consulting because the pay, growth, pace, etc. sucked and I fell behind in my career. Eventually came back to consulting and I’m much more content.

I think I’d go back to industry only if there is some financial upside with a PE portco or similar situation. The grass isn’t always greener.

Is this normal I thought SC-M was 3 years and 2 for an early promo.

Can anyone suggest if it's even possible to try to get promoted in 2 years? Just don't want to put in extra effort and getting disappointed later.
