If no MBA most jobs default to 5-10 years of experience in that given field.

I always thought MBA was for people without university degree, to make their resumes look prettier.

Hi! I'm currently interviewing (3/6 interviews so far) for for an appeals manager role for DME. The job entails not only to bill for dme (cms 1500) but also to follow up on any denials or appeals, amongst other administrative duties. My questions are is it typical to have 1 person doing both the billing and denials within a new vertical for all ins.? How difficult is billing for dme as I only have experience in gyn onc and lactation billing? What's a fair salary? I have 8+ yoe in rcm, no certs.

Why is it so difficult to make the next career move within your OWN company. I have over 7 years of experience across multiple departments and yet an external company is more willing to give an interview to select roles than your own home company for the same role internally!!

Where is the loyalty in that !!??

Hi there! I’ve been in recruiting for agencies for the past 7 years. It has been volatile with furloughs and layoffs the past few years. I would love to transition into HR. I do have hr and operations experience. I am looking for advice and maybe even referrals for HR positions working from home making at least $80k as I make more than that now working remotely.

Product analyst or accountant (industry not public). I feel like I fall back on accounting but product analyst sounds interesting but so scared out of my comfort zone to try something new. I don’t have CPA or public acctg experience either so I know I can’t move up as accountant.

I am currently looking to improve my income. I have a Masters and working in the manufacturing industry for the last 10 years. My current income of $73K CAD isn’t enough to take care of my current needs. I have a PMP certification and I’ve been looking into getting into the IT project management. Anyone knows how to get into the Tech industry without any experience in tech?
