I’m a pharmacist and currently doing an MBA. I have only 2 YOE as a pharmacist and I’m trying to find a career path that will suit me. I completely regret choosing pharmacy and I want to reorient myself. Any advices as where to start applying? ( FYI I particularly enjoyed finance during the master)

With pharmacy background I can imagine that experience could translate to Healthcare consulting post mba. Many of the consulting firms have practices for healthcare.
