Hi all, new to fishbowl. I am currently a PTA working in homecare. I am considering changing career paths to non-clinical. Everything I search for available jobs in the pay range that I need seems to come up as sales, (Sr, executive, etc) I have zero sales experience, but could see myself working as a healthcare liason, recruiter, care coordinator, or pharm sales rep. I live in Dayton, OH. I would love some insight or feedback. I also see Gpac recruiting popping up, is this a reputable co? Ty!

Any one here who moved from big law to in house regretting it or does every one think it’s the best choice they ever made...even if there was a slight pay cut?

Does EY GDS provide promotion as part of retention process? I expected promotion to Senior 2 to Senior 3 (Yeah it’s not a normal progression, I heard it’s a major step in the ladder).

Met a girl today through AM setup. She is a year older to me and earns 1.6X my CTC(more than enough for a good life in a metro city). She seems career oriented but doesn't want to pursue her career abroad and wants the same for her future partner to not go overseas as she would like to stay near to her family in the same state.
I don't have any career opportunities abroad in the next few yrs but i would like to go if an opportunity comes in the future.
What should be my response?

We provide new hires a voucher to use to redeem company branded merchandise of their choice. They have 30-days to use it, otherwise it’s invalid and the funds return to the company. Do you believe the value of the voucher needs to be taxed like gift cards? My stance is no, because it’s a company purchase and just giving them the option of which merch item to choose and there’s no cash value.

Curious to know how you are handling current inflation rates versus 3% merit increases. Are you adjusting merit increases for inflation? If not, how are you handling those conversations?
