Hello, I’m 25 and just starting as an IBD Analyst 1 at a BB. I’ve done a long off-cycle at a boutique IB (7 months) and worked for a major tech company before. Is it too late to start?

Just start working. Time moves pretty quickly, so if you're not fired you're moving up. Good luck!

You're 25 and asking if it's too late?

If your age has a 2 in front of it you are not too late

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!
