I'm pretty new to the consulting world (less than a year into my first gig here in public healthcare). With all the economic chatter over the past months, I'm wondering how recession-proof our industry is compared to other sectors. For those of you who've been around a while, what's your experience been?

Depends on your client base and their revenue sources. Based on the current environments, I would be more concerned about federal legislation than an economic recession.

I’ve been in healthcare consulting for a little over a decade, and so far, this sector has held up better than most. Even during downturns, there’s demand for cost-cutting initiatives, operational improvements, and digital transformation in public health systems.

Hello, I’m an LMSW in Michigan. I have 15 years of experience in the field as a clinician, supervisor, and an administrator. I am feeling burnt out and unsure of my future. I have worked mainly in the Community Mental Health and the VA Health systems, hence my fatigue. I’ve flirted with private practice work in the past, but my spouse has been worried about not having affordable healthcare and benefits that each system provides. Is it worth the jump? Am I overthinking things?

3 YOE in Marketing through internships in college, followed by 2 years Financial Operations/Data Tools full-time. I got an offer for $75K at TekSystems for a Market Analyst role. I gave them a range of $70-75K, so they gave the max. But I am questioning asking for a bit more given insurance is apparently on the higher-end and I want to ensure I didn't low-ball myself.

Just to note, this is about a 25% increase compared to what I am currently making.
