Got an offer from a health system for a PMO role, but if accepted would most likely want to pivot back into consulting after a couple of years. Has anyone made a similar transition?

What systems are hiring right now..

like

It’s easy to pivot back in specialized roles or even generalist healthcare roles. I’d say go for it, it’s all about how you market yourself.

like

I would stay. With 1 YOE, a pivot for a 25% bump is tempting, but you're still very new into your career. Don't underestimate the value that an additional year or two can bring you in terms of exit ops. The skills you gain in that time would likely place you well above your typical PMO role, which of course comes with higher comp, better progression, etc.

Also, PMO career progression at these companies is often slow at best. Hang on for 1-2 more years, get some solid experience in consulting, and pivot towards a more senior role (and a bigger title / salary bump)

like

I mean I would do it but understand that PMO is the first roles to go in healthcare systems when the budget gets tight again. Right now lots of systems have Cares act money and other funds / grants. If elective surgery doesn’t pick up you know for sure they they’ll fire everyone.

If so, was it difficult getting back into consulting after being in industry? This offer is a large increase in salary which makes it initially attractive, but don’t want to be shooting myself in the foot from a long term perspective.

Interested in responses. Is the pay comparative to Consulting or are you going to have to take a pay cut?

like

Pay is comparable to consulting- I would get an increase of 25%

What’s the comp and YOE?

like

You are early in your career so should be easy to come back when you’re ready. On the other hand, $90k is not a lot of money (in Consulting), you could probably get close to that switching firms.

Seems like their culture is great, but a much higher work load due to the nature of the company. Thanks! Happy to answer DM's too

I haven't interviewed in years and feel absolutely out of place and underconfident. Not able to bring my A game to the table (I can't pitch myself as ideal candidate for position).

I have very strong profile for my experience. All my performance reviews continuously state I'm going above & beyond and theres nothing they can think of suggesting I do different. Just can't interview well

Curious how other marketing teams like to share resources internally. I'm considering creating a centralized hub where departments can access news, branding information, logos, premade materials and basic templates like letterheads. I'd also like to be able to give specific users access to specific things (ie I don't want everyone to have the logo vector).

Any suggestions or thoughts? Know any software for this? My instinct is just to build a website or page with logins, but open to options!

Had a call with a recruiter for an industry director role that was seeking 7+ years of experience in management consulting / corporate strategy; preferred top 10 firm.

The role is not corporate strategy, but is on a cross-functional Strategy team.

At the end of the call, we realized salary expectations were out of range: the MAX comp on the role is 175k +20% - no RSUs until VP. I’m currently making 215k TC in industry.
