When updating your LinkedIn is it good or bad to specify what “type” of consultant you are in the title? For example - Management consultant, Healthcare consultant, Technology consultant (at x firm), etc. Or just put Consultant (at x firm). I’ve seen both ways and am wondering if one is considered more standard than the other?

Write it in a way that might give you the opportunities you're looking for. E.g if you want to stay in health care, then say health care, if you you want to bounce then just keep it generic.

If you want to stay in the same industry: be precise. Ie: Healthcare consultant at xx.
If you want to move to another type of clients/industries: be less specific. Consultanf at xx with skill 1 and skill 2 (that would benefit your future workplace).

I am currently working on my MBA in a professional evening and weekend program at a highly accredited university.

DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good?
