I started at Capgemini a few months ago in SAP through campus hire. Its pretty fun and enjoy my coworkers thus far. However, my goal is to go into healthcare consulting. Dream is to make America's health system better by learning about various health systems around the world as a consultant 1) how do I achieve my dream before I start a family. 2) how can I best transition out of SAP into healthcare - thinking MBB can offer global consulting roles.

Start networking your goal May be easier achieved by hopping into a startup briefly then becoming an independent consultant. I know a few people who started in consulting then went independent.

Network at Cap to get out of SAP. Offer to work on RFPs and any bizdev/practice development for another practice to see if you can finagle your way into another practice.

Probably the easiest option would be like SC1 says, to network your way onto healthcare-related projects. You can also consider moving to a healthcare specific like ZS, Trinity etc. At ZS the majority of our projects involve work with pharma companies and you learn about how to navigate the health care system from their lens.

Feel free to DM if you have more questions

Yes it is possible. For example in the past year, I’ve worked with the healthcare systems of the US and Germany.

Of course to be upfront, global opportunities are not present in every project. Based on my understanding of other consulting models, it may be harder than they advertise to actually get staffed on projects in several countries.

Some good direction here. I’ll add to it.

Get into case interviewing. Learn about problems, business problems that way. You’ll be extremely well positioned.

Lots of resources online, firmsconsulting is by far the gold standard when it comes to training. It’s run by former partners.
