Did any of you switch from nursing to admin? If so, how'd you do it? I'm looking to take that path.

I'm not a nurse but it does seems like more admin leadership roles require you to have a nursing degree. So I think the fact that you have one is a good benefit

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing. Had a very successful interview with Amazon but recruiter is working hard trying to place me and said there’s no knowing how long to find a team. Meanwhile I just received a Director offer for a company with a 29% pay bump July 1. If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?

Hey Fishes,

Will ECBA (Entry Certificate Business Analyst) certification by IIBA be helpful to me in my career ?

My background-
* B.E in Computer science
* MBA in Systems and Analytics (2019-21)
* It's been 6 months I am working as an Analyst- Data science at Infosys

Where do you go after B4 audit if you don’t want to go to industry that has true work life balance? I’ve been busy since September straight... this won’t end for a while. I enjoy accounting and enjoy being challenged, but my mental and physical health are also falling by the wayside. I’m only in my second year, but I’ve been working in full senior capacity for a while. I like the research/memo writing side of the job the most (when I get to do it). Just tired of the hours.

I am only 4 months into being a surgical coordinator. I love the position itself however I am struggling to adapt into my new work environment. My position puts me in a place where I need to interact with my new coworkers but they are not as welcoming as I expected. There is also another surgical coordinator however I have come to find from other staff that there is a long history of her running other staff away and not fully training other surgical coordinator staff properly. Any suggestions?
