Please don’t call me dumb for asking this but how would you describe healthcare consulting for dummies?

I’m a Sr Analyst interested in healthcare (studied bioengineering, internships in med devices) and like my consulting career so far (tech strategy) but don’t really understand the major capabilities/functional silos of the sector

I would also encourage you to pick a large pharma company and go through their website thoroughly, you can get a pretty good estimate of different divisions. And then pick the same company in LinkedIn and filter by President and SVP you'll know how many functional heads. Hope this helps

After spending 4 years as a mid-level ops manager, I tried to break into HR through talent acquisition. Now after 6 years in TA, I've had a hard time getting out of it. My goal was always to get into a more broad HRBP position, but I've since worked for smaller orgs without a solid HR career path. When I ask about my career goals, they keep telling me, "Soon!" Or "Maybe in 6 months!"

I'm testing SPHR in June. Any advice for securing the type of role I'm aiming for?
