Thinking of relocating. I’m looking for a change and need to be “close” to the corporate life sciences and technology companies and their financial services firms.

Anybody have opinions about Austin, TX relocation? Good, bad, silly?? I know there’s “better” cities for my practice area, but, for now, I can’t compete with HCOL and hate winter.

Additional context: I'm a corporate attorney - with a JD and MBA.

Any VC or IB opinions??

Hi, wondering if anyone as a non US trained physician has had experience pivoting to healthcare consulting or healthcare administration? Is an MBA a must? Should one aim for entry level jobs at a consulting firm first for experience? I’ve got good experience in leadership and management roles and completed a lean six sigma yellow belt course. Any advice appreciated!

I spend most of my time writing memos no one will read.
