I've been in nursing for 20 years (bedside, a medical device company and now cardiac device nursing for the last 10 years). I need a change from patient care (and maybe healthcare in general!) and wondering who out there has had a career change? Curious how others have utilized their nursing experience to step away from patient care?

Hi,

Most nurses that I work with have transitioned into CDI. They usually go get a coding credential and become really successful at it. Hope this helps!

Having tough time deciding between IB & Consulting. My thought process: I have a "better" background for IB (TAS/valuation) and with tech layoffs, this might push more potential would-be tech applications to pursue consulting (there by increased competition)? Additionally, you can do IB intern and full time consulting but not vice versa. I prefer consulting, but IB seems like the "safer" option? And if consulting does get hit hard, I would hopefully have a full time IB offer via internship.
