I think I saw something about you possibly adopting. I adopted and was able to take the leave offered for new parents at my company. I could have taken the full fmla leave running concurrently. The only rough part for me was we had to wait until the adoption was final and that was at 16 months. My husband had paid leave for children entering our home for adjustment so he took time at both the birth and final adoption.

You had to wait until finalization? I am so sorry that’s a crappy policy.

I wouldn’t word it that way when asking for coverage. You are planning on having kids, just not birthing them.

Is it common to offer signing bonuses for product managers? I've only worked in small companies and I'm currently interviewing at a much larger company.

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!
