Hi there,
Thanks for posting!
1 - 110%. You are a fantastic candidate. MD MBAs are highly valued at strategy consultancies. It demonstrates that you can both think intelligently and communicate intelligently (I'll let you work out which degree is know for which :P)
2 - Honestly, both. The answer here depends on what you prefer. However, I knew a lot of doctors who ended up at MBB. As mentioned in #1 it's a more common path than you might think
3 - Yes, in particular, those that I've helped my candidates get into! To name a few:
- Merck
- Clearview Healthcare Partners
- LEK Healthcare consulting practice
- Most other large consultancies (most have a healthcare function)
4 - Yes, this path can work. You can also advance internally as well
5 - Not sure what your question is, but if you're asking whether this is a valid path it indeed is
6 - Have a lot of calls with smart people that you respect! This is also called networking :) From here, just really genuinely and clearly explain your situation. You'll be able to pick people's brains and start to work out what path works for you!
Good luck!
