I finally did it. I transitioned out of accounting.

Started off at Big 4 tax. Transitioned to an Advisory role at a mid-size. In a few weeks, I'll be working as a product manager.

Never give up!

Congrats. I have to admit I first read your post to say you transitioned to be a PRODUCE manager. Nothing wrong with that, but was less impressed :). Congrats again and good luck!

Is it too much to ask a home health company for someone to shadow/orient? I was just hired PRN and that was something I asked for during the hiring process and the recruiter agreed. Never heard back and it’s been several weeks yet keep getting texts from the schedule if office to see patients. Is this typical for home health or a red flag? I have only worked in SNF and acute so I am new to HH plus this company specializes in lymphedema therapy. I am a CLT but want just a little but of training.

Hi All! Going through previous posts, I can see it is hard to get a comment/connection in this particular bowl. Reasonably so, as the field in itself is so hectic that professionals are usually busy. Anyway, I’m looking for a job switch and want to get into IB for an MNC. If there’s anyone who has any open position in their team, I’ll be grateful if you can refer me. Thanks in anticipation!
