Looking to come back to consulting post-MBA but long term goals are to pivot into a Director of Ops eventual COO path role at a behavioral health start up or managing behavioral health programs at a large health plan. Any suggestions on intermediary roles besides director of ops before that “COO” role.

If you’re in consulting now take some time to explore outside of this bubble. I think you’d do well in a “special projects” role at a startup or as a chief of staff. That CoS role would really benefit you if you’re looking to go the Ops path. You can always come back to consulting. I would explore the startup world while in school as well as payers. Intern in either of those areas then if you’re not thrilled you could come back after your 2nd year but honestly, consulting isn’t going anywhere. I finished my MBA last year and I wish I did more exploration. I still can but I had the oppty in school and interned in consulting. 😂😅😂 happy to chat further if you want.

I like the idea of Ops at a startup because it seems like an opportunity drive strategy execution while influencing the direction based on the executed performance

Curious as to how many deals at once is typical for a first year associate to take on (M&A, mostly private equity clients).
