Are there particular reasons you want to shift over to consulting? And are you willing to start from the bottom? In my experience, people with significant experience (10+ years) have a tough time transitioning into consulting from healthcare administration unless they are in a sales capacity and leveraging their network. You may spend your first year doing analyst level work with no one under you, even if your title is higher than that.

Don't do it. Its brutal.

Better pay and bonuses. Be prepared for traveling, being self sufficient, networking to get on projects and proposals, and selling. The higher you come in the more pressure on sales and recruiting for projects/proposals.
Healthcare might seem slowpace coming onto consulting. Also healthcare has really old technology compared to consulting. Let me know if you’d like a referral to Deloitte!

Do you all feel that the Health Insurance choice is actually all the same? The coverage is absolutely copy and paste for Bronze to Platinum and the deductible/copay is very similar.
I just don’t understand why we have the illusion of “choice” if the offer is the same and it is really bad (in our case).
Going from $61 per paycheck for 2.5k deductible 75% copay to $500+ per paycheck with 500 deductible 85% copay.
Other firms have better health insurance?

Hello! I’m currently a Administrative assistant now working at a major medical system in Baltimore. I’ve previously worked for 10 years as a medical assistant in a variety of specialties and primary care. Lately, I’ve been feeling a bit stuck as to my next step.

And how would I be able to cross over to management?

Would it benefit me to take a pay cut as a transactional clerk by about $20k to work as a clerk for a year then re-enter firm life? I’m transactional and enjoy that line of work.
