Hi all,
I have worked as a speech language pathologist at the schools and an outpatient pediatric therapy clinic for the past 5 years. I am looking to transition to the medical setting (inpatient/acute care), however, as I do not have any medical experience (either from graduate or post-grad), I am finding it difficult to get my foot in the door. Any advice?

I am currently a medical biller and coder that just graduated. I am currently in an entry level position because I am still studying to get certified. I will have a year's work of exp in July and will sign a contract for another year because my boss is training me in more I don't know.

I'm wondering what the pay is for someone in my position without certification. I live with family and want to afford to move out but I am single and only make $18/hr. Is that standard or am I being underpaid?

Hi Fishes. I'm in need of a referral, or better, contact of a hiring person from you guys. I'm looking for entry-level roles concentrated in finance. I have 3 months of experience in a back-office investment banking time and am currently looking for an opportunity in Hyderabad due to an emergency. I can join the firm within 30 days.
I have the relevant job IDs if you're willing to refer me.
It's urgent as my mom's sick and I need to be back in Hyderabad ASAP so please lend me a hand.

Is sticking up for yourself even worth it? My boss is always on my ass as if I’m constantly missing, or about to miss, deadlines. I’ve never missed one.
