I have been a clinical research coordinator at UCSF for a reputable research group for the past 2 years and I need some advise as I am considering moving into healthcare consulting! I went to a non prestigious state college and got a degree in neuro with a low gpa. My former UCSF colleague went to healthcare consulting at ZS and recommended me for a Associate job there. However, I did not get the job. What’s the best thing I can do to get into healthcare consulting? I’d appreciate any advice!

More interview prep. Once you’re in the interview room, it’s all dependent on interview performance.

You can target and find referrals for other healthcare consulting firms like IQVIA, Putnam, Clearview. Or, you can also target other generalist firms and just focus your time within the healthcare practice internally.

Thanks! Any advice on how to get an interview? So far, I have not been able to land one. Although i’ve only applied to 2 positions at ZS and 1 position at IQVIA.

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
