Switching to consulting right now is super hard since everyone is struggling to keep current employees

Rn it is impossible; this is def a pivot and tougher without an mba to help facilitate the switch but def possible.

Ya know thou everyone on here wants what you have so ask yourself if the grass is really greener in consulting.

Fwiw everyone else is trying to go from consulting to FAANG

Question is why would you want to when the exit is consulting to FAANG.

Is it easy to get into either of MBB in another country, let’s say Russia or UAE, with a degree from a US non-target yet good school? I would assume a US degree will be much more coveted than any local degree. I can work in either countries as well as US, and I would love to leverage that to get ‘MBB’ on my resume if that can be pulled off lol I’m not sure if the quality of experience will be the same.

Currently I work for a mid-sized InsureTech that’s had 2 rounds of layoffs in the past 6 months. Salary is 100k, with no defined bonus. I have close to 4 years of PO experience. I am debating whether I want to leave since my boss is very chill and I have amazing WLB. Benefits are eh. 15 PTO days and healthcare premiums are okay. Should I jump ship? What could I be making at a bigger company? What types of companies are most stable right now?

I’m a MSN, RN with 7 years of critical care nursing experience (ICU/PACU). Prior to becoming a nurse, I was a Medical Service Corps officer in the US Army for 8 years. I have my BSN/MSN and a non-nursing MA.
I’m interested in shifting gears to healthcare consulting. I’ve heard great things about Chartis and would love to hear more, specifically with regards to nurses making the jump. Can anyone offer insight or any other consulting firm they recommend?
Thank you in advance!
