Hi there,

Look for regions with a concentration of healthcare and pharmaceutical companies, e.g.,

  1. Boston
  2. San Francisco
  3. Zurich and Geneva
  4. Shanghai
  5. London

Cheers,

Hi!

Depends what kind of healthcare you mean - there is variety. 

The Boston office has a lot of Biotech clients. New York has big Pharma clients. If you're looking for Provider / Payer clients, these will be spread across all offices but bear in mind these will be a smaller portion of revenue than Pharma and Biotech. 

Hope this helps!

Hi there,

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your question:

  • First of all, the focus of a consulting firm's office depends primarily on the focus of the region or country. Therefore, depending on your target regions, I would advise you to research the strength of the regional/national healthcare industry to find out. Nonetheless, there is hardly any country where healthcare is not a major industry for consulting.
  • Moreover, I would advise you to consider boutique consulting firms if healthcare is your passion. You can find more on this topic in this article I wrote.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming McKinsey interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen
