Entering consultancy in late 30s
Hello,
I am an ophthalmologist working at NHS UK. I want to switch my career to healthcare/lifesciences consulting after doing MBA. My questions are
1. Is entering top b school as full timer with good gmat score possible at this age(37).
2. Do big consulting firms hire people at this stage? I have 10 years in ophthalmology.
Thank you.
Regards,
UA
First, consider taking out your real name from your post and profile
MBB and specialized boutiques are probably interested in your profile. The MBA is kind of a waste of time and money because you can get in without one, provided you prep extensively.
1) Yes - I did
2) Yes - they do. Harder, but I did it
Thank you for the response.
I am a bit confused whether to go into health care consulting or healthcare administration. I am complete medical person so don't have knowledge about the minor details. Which one has good career growth and financially lucrative?
I would consider some of the healthcare specialists that will really value your experience, rather than the MBBs who will always prefer younger Oxbridge grads. Couple of specialists for UK below:
- ZS Associates
- Candesic
- Mansfield Advisers
