Has anyone made the transfer from healthcare admin to another industry's admin? Healthcare is so unprofitable for the average worker, and involves so much draining and burnout.

I've known of people who did it, but they worked in the technical side of things. So I guess it didn't really matter what the company did where they worked. Like most of my colleagues, probably, I've considered moving on to something else. But the job market since the pandemic hasn't been a picnic, so I'm not real eager to go out looking for the foreseeable future.

I am in the admin aspect of healthcare, so I have been wondering if I can translate that to admin in another industry. I've always valued believing in what I am working on, but the compensation is making me reassess what my priorities are in a position.

I’m trying to make this transformation now. I agree with you. After 8.5 years, I don’t see it being profitable from a mid level management position. Good luck to you!

I'm in a really similar position, nearly 9 years in healthcare and finally made it to the beginning levels of management and it's not quite what I had hoped in terms of compensation 😐

I came from the legal field to healthcare.

Which do you think is more lucrative in your experience? I would have guessed the legal field but I don't know!

I recently left the Army about a year ago. Did a DoD SkillBridge fellowship and accepted the full time offer because I was scared of not having a paycheck.

How do I get a job that takes advantage of my experience, whereas mine currently views me as starting over?

Hi all,
I graduated during Covid with a double major in business administration and business management with a minor in marketing and magically ended up in sales because I needed a job.

Also, if anyone is willing to look over my resume and give me tips on how to make it more presentable for recruiters in DA that would be very helpful. Thanks

How much worse are my exit ops as an AP and how would that look with 2 years later?

Is there a ceiling in BD&L work both in consulting and in industry for those who didn’t do a PhD or MD? I feel like most of the individuals I see in these roles at senior levels have one or both degrees. Am I “wasting” time taking projects in these spaces if I only plan on getting an MBA?
