I am just curious if anyone is considering switching career from tax/accounting to healthcare for better pay and WLB?

What are your thoughts? Pros and Cons you found so far? Been thinking about it the past 2 years and now seriously considering it.

Switched career from healthcare to tax so I can WFH. No regrets. Pre-med classes were a lot harder. The pay sucks unless you become a nurse or a doctor/NP/physician assistant. Harder to get a job. WLB was better though; never worked more than 40h/week. My response might be biased since I went the opposite side though.

What are you thinking about? Like going for MBBS/doctor route or registered nurse?
Money is not going to be better but you can have WLB

Hi Folks,

To those who are thinking of resigning without an offer, I seriously advise you not to do so. I resigned in July due to a hectic (you can call it toxic) work culture and was confident enough to get another offer. But nothing materialized, no calls, savings money almost depleted with the EMIs, hard lesson learned!

Please try to resign only if you have an offer in hand or you're financially sound enough to survive without a job for at least a year! Cheers!
