Hi All. Have management consulting experience in Healthcare, Telecom, and Public Sector engagements (at Deloitte, 4 yrs). No finance background. Is it even possible to pivot to MM Private Equity (Healthcare focus) after an MBA?

Yes, do IB first for a few years then pivot. Finance > PE is a common route.
