Hi there,
I have a research-based master's degree in Health Sciences. I have work 8+ years in a research role at a research centre and then as a policy and program analyst for the Ontario government, where I conducted analysis of policies and programs and generate recommendations for improvement.
I now would like to work in the consulting industry. Given that I don't have a background in business administration, I think I should apply for the analyst role to stand a better chance of getting in and then work my way up. Do you think it is a good idea? Would my master's degree and 8+ years of experience make consulting firms question my application for a very junior role? Or would that be normal for someone with my background to apply for that role. You insights are much appreciated!
