I am completing my PhD at UofT in their faculty of medicine, and have been wanting to move into consulting.
I had originally planned to graduate in ~1 year from now and had set up my timeline for applications accordingly. However, I have been given the opportunity to complete my degree in the next coming weeks. Although fortunate I was wondering where this leaves me in terms of applications - am I still considered advanced degree? Should I be looking for a different position in industry management and try to come in as experienced hire? Most resources I find outline applying while still in a graduate program, which would have aligned me with campus recruiting cycles.
