Like in LIS or POC? Yes. Highly recommend that route because of the experience you’ll learn outside of lab. (Project Management, IT, nursing education)

Thank you for your reply. This is exactly what I was thinking. I've not had success in breaking through to these roles. The job hunt is quite frustrating so far. It's difficult to tell if it is the job market being wonky or if it's something I'm doing...Not sure if that makes sense or not.

I just transitioned into point of care. I oversee QC/QA!

A lab I worked in switched to EPIC beaker and they poached a bunch of our techs to build it. Most of them has no IT experience, but we’re trained by EPIC and then all took jobs with them doing the same thing at other hospitals. I’ve definitely considered it!

Yes! I transitioned from being a tech into a QA role, now I'm doing laboratory outreach and training.

I am looking to make a career change to HR. I currently make 75K as a sales and development coach. I had a recent offer for a state government position in a talent acquisition role but I’d be taking a $25K pay cut. I am extremely over qualified for the position but it could possibly be a stepping stone and gives me the time to acquire SHRM certifications and possibly start taking classes to get my MBA. My question is those currently in an HR role, would this move make sense to you?

Hey Fishes, happy Sunday!

My sister had received an offer letter for the "Functional Consulting - Analyst" role on 7th September, 2021. Been over a year now but have not heard back anything.

Although when we were able to get in touch with an HR, we were assured that we would be receiving a call letter after a month/week but that was 4-6 months back... No correspondence since then.

Anyone in a similar situation? Is there a clear way to know when the call letter would be released?

Hello!

I finished my final round(s) for a TAM position at 
Google (GCP) last week and was told by my recruiter that my feedback was great and that I made a solid impression on the team and am "firmly in the running". I was supposed to hear back this week (according to the recruiter) but he just told me that it's still in the process and that I'll have to wait for another week or so.

Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.
