Would appreciate some career advice. Currently a Manager in Corporate Strategy with a broad focus across multiple BU’s. Have a potential opportunity for a promotion to a Sr. Manager role (10-15% raise) focused on Healthcare strategy. Curious to hear opinions on 1) pros and cons of focusing on the healthcare space for a strategy career and 2) whether it makes sense to take the promotion even if not as interested in the industry for the sake of faster career progression/more $$.

Are you an ambitious person?

I’d say so lol. Trying to judge if the promotion and potential to pivot etc is worth focusing on a specific industry I’m not sure I want to specialize in.

Don’t do something you’re not interested in. 10-15% in the grand scheme of things is peanuts

Thanks for the input - definitely understand the $ lift isn’t much, but more concerned with whether healthcare is the area I want to focus on. Thinking I could take the promo, try for a year, then could always pivot to a different strategy role elsewhere potentially if it seems like HC isn’t the best fit.

Currently scheduling “on sites” for a S&O role in CA. My referrer said they can hire as L5 or L6. Would like to land in the L6 bucket as I’ve heard 5 --> 6 is one of the more challenging promotions.

I’m looking for info on what the real difference is in responsibilities (manager vs IC, cross functional vs focused, etc) so I can focus on checking the L6 boxes during my interviews.

I’m also curious about whether this is something that I should just discuss with my recruiter directly?

I posted this somewhere else before I remembered that I am in this bowl :) so, I changed jobs 6-7 months ago and I am realizing it is not a good fit. Leadership seem to not want to hear the truth so people tell them what they want to hear and if you don’t middle management gets pissed at you. I am seriously thinking about looking somewhere else. My question is how do you answer the “why are you looking to leave” question without bad mouthing your current company?
