I did it after my first kid - both at 60% (1 project) and 80% (1 project + 1 internal initiative) for 1.5 years total. I personally found it was very project/client dependent - sometimes worked great and others not so much. I ultimately decided to move to an internal role after my second kid. Happy to answer any specific questions but my best advice would be 1) have a solid backup care plan for your days/hours off, because you may need to adjust them at times, 2) guard your calendar/turn down anything not mission critical because the job will take as much you’re willing to give and I had friends on FWAs that struggled to say no and ended up feeling like they were working full time for a reduced salary

Good morning!

Still trying to figure out this whole Fishbowl thing, so here goes my first post.

I would love to get into provider credentialing, but all employers I've looked at want at least 3 years of experience. So, I'm looking at Provider Network Coordinator roles, because I'm finding some of those roles don't need AS MUCH experience. I'm a RHIT, and have been working in healthcare for nearly 10 years.

Any input on employers is appreciated!

Hi! I'm a seasoned benefits nerd 🤓 with a little bit of compensation experience (less than a year, my current role has thrown me into the thick of it and I'm doing my best lol).

I also enjoy working on cross-functional projects, but I don't care for Employee Relations.

I'm open to remote, or Hybrid roles (Florida). I took a slight pay cut when I moved to this job and that is not something I wish to do again at this time. (Looking for a base of at least 95k)

Neither my husband nor I are good with change and when my husband and I went for the ultrasound he nervously asked "she's too sick to eat anything other than her vitamins and water, is it ok for her and the baby to go without?" Our doctor just smiled and replied "don't worry, baby takes" I don't know why but that was so funny to us. It kind of became our mantra as we navigate and move our life around that "baby takes," its made it feel more Us vs Change rather than Me vs Him. Thought I'd share
