Hi everyone! I’ve been working as a product manager in an internal consulting department at Kaiser Permanente a on software product that maps and automates clinical workflows. Although my title is a consultant, my role entails the usual responsibilities of a PM (prioritizing builds and features, identifying business requirements, mapping user journeys and stakeholder management). Does anyone have any advice on ways to break into tech or suggestions of companies to look into?

Sounds like you’re already there. Just add Consultant – Product Manager to your resume and sell your skills in interviews. And voila you’re in tech 😬

There are a ton of health tech companies out there now…your experience in actual healthcare is valuable and you should be able to snag some interviews there.

Hi,

Fellow (NCAL) KP-er here, if you are open to it, I would enjoy chatting with you about your current role because it sounds interesting. Thanks!

I'm in a similar role here. I highly recommend reading HIStalk for great news coverage of the Health IT industry, along with interesting C-level interviews of industry leaders. What kind of role are you looking for? Good luck!

Thanks for the tip! I’ve been looking primarily at product manager and associate product manager roles.

I have hit my wall. I cannot do public accounting any longer. I cannot deal with the constant focus on compliance, billable hour and the general unproductive behaviors/mindsets. I remember a day when we were here to help clients. Now I just feel like we are here to bill clients. I want to go help someone build something.
Now I just need to figure out how a director with a tax background can have transferable skills to something else...

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything. I was looking at both SHRM-CP and SPHR. Everyone that I have spoken to has the SHRM, but that’s also only looking at individuals in a small geographic footprint and within 3-4 different companies. I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks

Under contract for nearly 1.1M. Wife and I are at HHI $315k. Will go up in the future, $400k in 3 years and $500k possible in 5-7 years.

Anyone have any thoughts or feedback? We’ll have to live on a budget and watch but I feel we’ll get used to it and income will grow.
