I think the most challenging sector of supply chain to enter is healthcare. This is because the industry is highly regulated and requires a deep understanding of the medical field.

Do you mean the most challenging industry? I'd probably say auto, retail, and restaurants. But I'm curious to hear what others would say too.

Yes, that's along the lines of what I was wondering.

Hi
Would love to get your opinion on this-

The role is definitely a step up in terms of responsibilities from my current role as a senior consultant. Do you think it might hamper my business school application changing jobs so close to round 1? Have been at D for 4 yrs
