I’m currently a GI tech (previously central processing). Im realizing I want to be in a better income bracket and I’m thinking about going back to school. My immediate thought is to go for RN, since I’m used to a hospital setting anyway and I do like being involved in patient care. Im 36 and part of me feels like im too old to go back. Can anyone share any experiences with going back this age or older. Or does anyone have suggestions for career changes

Just an idea, there are more jobs than just nurses. Look into radiology/nuclear medicine technologist/ultrasound tech/scrub tech/medical laboratory. I’m a new grad as a nuc med in Texas and I make 78k already. Nursing is a great career but there’s more job out there also. My job is not stressful at all and I am grateful of my career choices. Good luck. And oh never too late to start something you want to do. Age is nothing but a number 🙂

Go for it i went back at that age for ultrasound tec love it but should have done nursing its my true love im not in either now working in health insurance but i love it too

Anyone go from SaaS / licensing sales to services (strategy & implementation) sales?

I'm thinking of moving from large cap tech to large cap consultancy firm to help build the resume and round out my experience. I enjoy and do well in licensing, but I'm fairly young in my career (<6 years) and received a great offer to make the move.

Big fan of the org and team I'll be joining as well.

Thanks!!

After getting released from my project I joined new project desperately. In interview client as well as D project manager mentioned all the technologies I have previously worked on will be there.
But now after getting whole project idea I think they have lied to me and this is very old legacy system support project.
How should I ask for release without impacting my career.

SHOULD I ACCEPT THE OFFER?

I'm at a target uni for Big 4 accounting. I applied for and received an offer for Summer 2023 Risk&FinancialAdvisory - Technology internship w Deloitte. I'd like to get into Big 4 consulting ideally when full-time. I'm an engineering student - I'm not going to be interested in IT audit. Summer 2023 will be the summer after sophomore year, so I'll be declining the full-time return offer and I'll be looking for a different internship after junior year.

Looking to get into SaaS sales but my experience is in construction and fine furniture (I was a sales manager and was able to lead my team of 4 people to consistently hit 450k monthly targets). I did that for almost 2 years before making the switch. I miss sales, though. Does anyone have any connections to companies looking? I have also considered a sales analyst role considering that I am moderately versed in Salesforce and have worked both the customer facing and sales generating side. TIA!
