Hello everyone,
Im a fresh graduate medical graduate from Cairo University, Egypt. (I still have to finish one year of Foundation Year Training to get my medical license officially) Im considering a career switch post graduation into MBB. I have some questions
1) I’m looking to apply at the Middle East offices as an Advanced Degree Candidate. will they consider me an ADC even if my degree is not from the offices original country? What about if I apply in Europe?
2) Do I realistically have a chance to get a job at MBB straight out of uni with only my medical degree? I just will have two clinical internships in Germany (one at the top hospital) and one year of foundation training at Cairo Uni Hospital, when I apply, but nothing else on my CV. Should I consider doing my residency (3-5 years) first?
3) If I get a job at MBB, will I be only working on healthcare projects? I know my main value would be my title and background as a doctor, but I don’t wanna spend the rest of my life only working in the healthcare industry. So would I get the chances to get different projects like “normal” consultants or not?
4) I have no business background. Are there any courses certificates to obtain to increase my chances? For example CFI? I’m considering doing Business Foundations course by U Penn/Wharton (it’s free), but what else can increase my chances? Also what is the best way to prepare for interveiws etc?
