Has anyone had luck applying and interviewing for roles outside of consulting? I’m trying to transition out of consulting and I’m having a hard time communicating my skill set and successes since they are across 15+ projects. I’d appreciate any tips from others who are also trying to make or have made the switch!

Awesome! Can you tell me more about how you did that? Did you know someone at the company already or was networking a big help in getting the role? Was there anything in particular you changed about how you marketed yourself during the hiring process? Did you have expertise from your consulting experience that made you a good fit for the specific industry?

What do you specialize in? Is it tech? Management? Accounting?

Take into consideration that you’re moving from a government contractor to a largely public sector role. You may be pricing yourself out roles given what government pay tables are like.

All due respect to SE1, but looking at EPIC, Cerner, etc. isn’t necessarily going to qualify you to work someplace just because you’ve worked with health clients before without the requisite EMR background. What you’re looking for is a monitoring/evaluation role within a hospital or government system. Plus, EPIC and Cerner are known for paying shit.

Why is it so difficult to make the next career move within your OWN company. I have over 7 years of experience across multiple departments and yet an external company is more willing to give an interview to select roles than your own home company for the same role internally!!

1. Is it possible to turn down a promotion at ZS? I'm currently happy with my responsibilities as a Decision Analytics Consultant and don't want any added responsibilities in the near future (next 5 years)

2. Is it possible to shape up a career path in the BC stream which doesn't involve business development? I don't want to get into working on SOWs and RFPs.
