Does not Consulting ever in your Salesforce career hold you back? Or is it a myth? Anyone here spent their whole SF career at end-users?

Well what's "hold back" to you? What do you want to do with you career, irrespective of company and job title? Consulting experience makes some paths easier but is not relevant to every end.

Consulting and contracting in that sense are really interchangeable terms. You can even do that type of work for Salesforce, or for consulting firms like PwC. You must be thinking of "management consulting", and no, you don't need to do that in order to get contract gigs.

Foreign LLM student here. I plan to take the NY bar exam in February. I’m thinking of taking a bar prep course (most likely Barbri).

The difference in price is substantial – 2.5k for the traditional course vs 6k for the extended one. Any thoughts/recommendations on which one I should take? In case it is helpful, I come from a civil law country. Thanks!

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!
