I have heard really good things about them. I had a friend who worked there and she said the culture and wlb are great. She also said the benefits are good.

That’s good to know! I heard they are smaller firms so it’s like a family

Hmm I have a friend who does, are you looking into roles at the moment or do you have an offer?

I’m looking into roles but I’m really trying to see how different the experience is between working for a wire house vs a RIA which is less restrictive . I work for a Wirehouse currently and it’s restrictive as hell turning me off

I have a friend from college who currently works in the field. She says becoming an advisor has been nice since they have a more flexible work schedule so it makes for a better work life balance. The unlimited earning potential is also a plus, but that means there's more responsibility and stress attached to it.

I got rejected for an interview from Big 4 NY Audit, even had referrals from Manager + level people. 3 years w/ audit senior at mid size firm, 2 years fed tax at big 4, and 1.5 years Internal Audit healthcare. Currently self employed for a year to work on investing. Do I literally need a partner level referral to get back into Audit? I thought there was an accountant shortage.

Hi! I'm currently interviewing (3/6 interviews so far) for for an appeals manager role for DME. The job entails not only to bill for dme (cms 1500) but also to follow up on any denials or appeals, amongst other administrative duties. My questions are is it typical to have 1 person doing both the billing and denials within a new vertical for all ins.? How difficult is billing for dme as I only have experience in gyn onc and lactation billing? What's a fair salary? I have 8+ yoe in rcm, no certs.

I have an interview for a LTC/Rehab Nurse Manager, Infection Preventionist position next week. My base salary is $40/hour as a charge nurse. With overtime I’ll be finishing the year about $15000 above my base pay. I have questions: first, I know I’ll be putting in at least the same number of hours I’m current working (50+/wk). How do I leverage that to avoid a pay cut. Also, any tips from people in this position?

I would just like to take this time to tell everyone that no matter what your role is, or who you work for.. that we work to live, we don't live to work.

I understand that statement has some degree of privilege.

However when things are all said and done, a lot of us won't be worried about the extra dollars we made or an additional title we got, but what we were able to do with the time we had.
