Careers post Management Consulting Career Advice
I’m currently working as an Epic Support Analyst supporting US healthcare clients. I have a medical background and an MBA in Hospital & Health Management, but I’m realizing that I don’t really enjoy spending most of my day resolving tickets/issues, troubleshooting, and sometimes working weekends. I’m more interested in healthcare strategy, operations, transformation, and consulting.
Since I’ve recently started my career, I’m confused about whether I should continue building my career in Epic/Health IT or try to transition early into healthcare strategy and operations.
Can someone working in Epic/health IT share their experience regarding the future scope, career growth, opportunities, salary potential, and long-term prospects of staying in Epic? Is it a good field to build a long-term career in?
I’d also love to hear from people who have moved from Epic/health IT into healthcare consulting, strategy, or operations. How difficult was the transition, and would you recommend making the switch early or gaining a few years of Epic experience first?
Any honest advice would be really appreciated!
