I went through med school, worked for 2 years, and found it was not to my liking.
I felt that I was just working a day job, and wasn't being challenged enough. All specialties I was exposed to didn't capture my attention, and often could be performed without any serious thought.
As a result I left medicine and joined The Boston Consulting Group. I've been here for 2 years now, and do not regret the move at all. |

Very interesting, the move from medicine to business. What is it about working for the Boston Consulting Group that you enjoy so much more than medicine? It is the diversity (working on different types of engagements)? I'm curious - I worked in consulting for six years and found that, although my tasks were often quite diverse, the actually day to day work is much less challenging that you would think. Maybe it's the type of consulting that you're in?
thanks for the input.
