Hi everyone, I have two years of experience in US healthcare, specializing in medical documentation and EHR handling. I am now looking to transition into medical or scientific writing. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to break into this field, as well as referrals for relevant opportunities. Thank you in advance for your guidance!

Get into a small company (someone that pays the employees regularly; many scientific/publication writing companies in India do not pay). Learn how to write manuscripts and abstracts and make slide decks.
Or learn about medical writing (don't know what those people do; guess they write the CSR, CTD and other clinical trial docs that need to be submitted to FDA and other reg authorities). Extract as much as you can. After 3 months, start applying to Novartis, Sanofi, Lilly, Novo Nordisk, etc. Don't forget to make a strong Naukri profile updating everything that you learn. Add your resume with date in file name. Recruiters will only read that and some topline things on the naukri profile. Go to your profile once every week, delete one letter from your name. SAVE and put it back. Save again. This will update your profile and keep it in the Searches of recruiters. Don't forget to change the date on the uploaded Resume fie. Should be within the last 3-4 months. Good luck.

I’m a newly graduate from a community college. My program of study was Health Information Technician. I passed my RHIT exam a month ago, and I’ve been applying to jobs in state, out of state, and remotely to only receive “sorry you were not selected email.”I don’t have experience and I know that’s the reason I’m not getting selected. I’ve applied for receptionist, medical biller/coordinator, and medical clerk. Even with inflation willing to work for minimum wage or less just to gain experience.

I’m maxing out my 401K, traditional IRA and HSA this year and paying for some house improvements. I have about $750K total investments and very close to $2M net worth, but realize that I am behind on investments if I want to do FIRE. I was focused on paying off huge chunks of my mortgage and managed to whittle it down to $75K left. Would you suggest I go ahead and pay that off this year? Or pause and do a mega back door roth instead? I’m mid 40s. Thanks!

I accepted a new job, they said PTO was “generous.” I find out it’s 19 days a year of PTO (which includes sick days). I have two young children and we like to vacation 1-2x a year (no more than a few days away each time). Am I crazy that this is pretty limited time off? 8 of the normal holidays off during the year (working the week between Christmas and NYE). Thoughts? I dont know if lack of PTO is a good reason to back out, is it?

I’ve put myself up for L4 promo this cycle. Assuming I get it, what would be the best next steps to optimize for long-term growth/TC?

My understanding is that L5->L6 is extremely painful at
Google. It may be easier to leave for a handful of years and gain managerial experience before returning.

L4->L5 is less challenging; however, I’m under the impression I can do this quicker at another company (if I leave after being freshly promo’d) AND get higher TC.

TC: 270K
