Has anyone transitioned from consulting to sales? Background in health payers for 8 years between B4 and internal corporate consulting, T20 MBA.
Tired of the bureaucracy and ‘solving other people’s problems’. Totally understand the pressure of sales, but don’t think it would be much of a change from what Im experiencing from the C-suite on engagements. Thoughts?

Bro don’t sell yourself short, consulting is front of house, sales is front of house, and if you work on c-suite engagements you’re definitely gonna do more than all right. It’s all sales anyway. Good luck!

Also every digital health company wants to sell to payers- I’ve seen many make that transition from payer world to chief sales/growth at a digital health company

Consulting = Sales. Not just advisory. You don’t state your band but the fastest route from B8 to partner is to embed yourself at a client and help sell deals. I know someone who went from B8 to B10 in 3 years because the client loved them and kept throwing projects at them.

There’s no reason you have to put up with a job you hate. I spent many years working in a toxic environment with a boss who gossiped and lead through fear. He wasn’t really much of a leader but basically a foreman. And he could make my existence miserable. I admit that it wasn’t easy to find another job but the bottom line is: trust your guts. If you feel something is wrong it’s because it probably is. Don’t second guess yourself. Look for options and and fight for your mental health.

If you practice collections in-house, what do you earn and do you receive a bonus?

I have practiced for five years and make $121k as an employee of a financial services company. As the only attorney, I oversee all statewide collections efforts, from demand letter to garnishment, with a case volume of nearly 7k new cases per year, of which the majority I end up litigating. I receive only a $1k bonus per year. Is my compensation fair? My last insurance defense gig was $75k.
