Notes:

My goal is to move from being a PM in Finance to either being a PM at a tech company with a healthcare division, or to switch to consulting with the goal of doing HealthTech strategy afterwards. I'm involved in Pro Bono projects at work and mentoring outside of work. Main areas of concern for my application are that PM's at banks aren't too flashy (vs MBB/IB/PM at tech etc) and that I'll only have one promotion when I apply
