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.

Good morning, May I send you a DM if you want to connect privately?

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!
