I am a medical doctor looking to move into a healthcare role within financial services. I’ve had enough of the poor career progression in medicine – there are significant sub-consultant grades and not many consultants, with the result that only a small number go on to become consultants, with the rest remaining on quite poor pay packages. I also feel that the work/life balance in medicine is poor and that given the target driven way in which hospitals operate, job satisfaction is low; there’s very little in real traditional patient care available. I’d be willing to consider opportunities in the areas of research, venture capital or consulting
