How do you pivot into healthcare when you don’t have previous healthcare experience? I have 7 yoe in consulting but hardly any health projects and no luck with interviews so far. I finished my masters in health informatics during the spring

Have you joined any professional networks- especially local chapters of American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE), Medical Group Management Association (MGMA), National Association of Health Services Executives (NAHSE). There are some really solid networking opps, especially at their conferences. A lot of ppl have entered the industry by joining these groups. Also does the health informatics program have a strong alumni group- potentially leverage that. Otherwise, taking courses on coursera and networking with students in those classes as well as info interviews with ppl on linkedin can help you build some solid connections to break into the industry.

Healthcare is a big field with lots of specialties. Start thinking about the kind of area you want to work with - medical devices? software? care delivery? financials? interoperability? Research the companies in those fields, follow leaders on LinkedIn, or take classes to learn more or get certified in useful skills.

Have the opportunity to join a startup consultancy as a Product Manager and move away from the big 4.

Going to be employee 15 as opposed to an org with ~650K employees.

Same pay. A LOT of growth opportunity. Less overall benefits, but I think the experience will net me out to be a Director in just a year or two within the org, and a lot of potential to move out from there.

I'm slightly terrified, but the team feels awesome, and they have some big clients.

What would you do?

Any advice is helpful :)
