How can I get a good paying job in healthcare administration??

I will soon have my masters in healthcare administration and I currently work for a hospital system as a patient service coordinator. I feel extremely undervalued on top of underpaid. I know that I am capable of more. Is there a space for young healthcare professionals to excel?

Are you responsible for giving performance feedback? Avoid giving personality based feedback. Examples include telling an Asian person they are too quiet/shy or telling a Black person they are agressive/abrasive. DO NOT DO THIS. It clearly represents bias in Performance Management. Performance feedback should be tied to business outcomes with clear examples of what the person does well + how they can improve.

I think there should be more males caretakers in this world. Some of my clients just feel more comfortable with a guy and it's kind of sad how often they say I'm the only male they could find.

Hi guys ,

What is the salary range for SAP Development Consultant and how many rounds of interview for this role?

Can someone please explain how McKinsey’s BA -> EM works? Seems to be a general lack of info on this topic
What percentage of folks get it?
How does the role compare to PL/SM at BB?(I find it insane someone can do the same work only 2-3 years out of undergrad)
What is the comp for a BA EM vs post mba EM?
Also skipping to EM sounds insane for getting to partner faster (assume it’s very very rare??)
McKinsey & Company

Got an interview at BCG with a 3.0 and 8 months of consulting exp out of undergrad. I’m scared 👁👄👁 I feel so out of place

Any Bain fish willing to provide a referral?

Can someone post the McKinsey new hire slack group that was made?

For BCGers in LA, how often are you in the office now? Looking to move in the area but not sure if I’ll be in the office enough to warrant renting a place in downtown next to the office.

I know this is team and case dependent but would love to get some insight/opinions, TIA!

BCG 🐠: What’s your opinion of Pia Tischhauser?

How is previous work experience viewed during mba recruiting? Hard to see how MBB could assign the same value to a candidate with 3y vs 7y of experience, although everyone gets the same comp and title.

Can you recruit to a smaller office out of MBA? I.e. I’d like to move to Jersey office instead of NYC. will they allow this?

What’s the culture like in the Dallas McKinsey office?

Has anyone ever gotten the interview yips and has any advice? I practiced a case where I fell apart on the math (difficult expected value thought exercise) and haven’t been able to quite get the math right ever since even on problems that are quite simple / straightforward

Which firms give free phones to new joiners?

Ok so which of you two McKinsey folks messed up your Microsoft interview recently? Hiring manager told me during my interview “Interviewed two McK folks yesterday who were super intelligent but can’t hold a conversation to save their lives” 😂

Sterling background check report just came out. Will McKinsey notify me if I am cleared? I’m waiting to put my 2 week notice to current employer.

Is it an expectation for first years to not take time off?

Currently 1-1.5 years out of college, working at a T2 firm doing commercial due diligence work. Have gotten some offers but confused about which one to take:

1. OW PE team, joining in a position higher than at my current firm, basically skipping a year. OWs PE practice as far as I know doesn’t have huge market share
2. McKinseys PE practice but coming in a position lower than where I currently am
3. Stay at my current firm which is experiencing high growth

End goal is to move to the buy side

Thinking of switching from industry to consulting so I’m attending a virtual McKinsey recruiter Q&A for experienced professionals tomorrow. Any tips on how to stand out during the session?

Hi all, had my final round at McKinsey & Company but was told that they want me to do an additional interview. Does anyone have any tip on how to prep for that/anything to focus on? Feeling very stressed since it seems like this one interview will be the deciding factor
