Hi Everyone! I’m currently a Surgical Assistant doing plastics in Colorado. May have to move to Dallas for my Fiancé’s job so was wondering if there is any similar job options in the DFW area? I’m a Certified Clinical Medical Assistant finishing my undergrad. Started as a scribe/MA doing minor procedures for quite some time and most recently a Surgical Assistant in the OR for about 2 years. Is is possible for me to stay in the OR in TX based on my experience, or would I need more certification?

If Texas is a reciprocal state, assume you would just need to get licensing equivalent to what you have now. There seems to be a surgery center on every corner. If you aren’t hell bent on plastics, call the major hospital groups (Baylor, Methodist, and Presbyterian) to inquire about job availability for surgical assistants. Best of luck!

TikTok or Cepheid Biotech
Hey guys, I need to make a decision today on whether I want to start a career as a Talent Sourcer at TikTok or as a Onboarding Specialist at Cepheid, a Biotechnology company.

If software tech writing, does anyone have advice on how to break into a role or learn what it takes to become one?

Any thoughts around how to use M&A tax skills for the better good?

Perhaps I’ve gotten too introspective during the pandemic. Don’t really want to go back for a JD and aside from keeping a roof over my head I’m not very motivated by money. Anyone else have similar ideas?
