Took CSCP already.

If you already have Ops experience, I doubt it's worth it but if you are trying to get into Ops, then maybe.

Cscp is fine. No need to double up on the certification. You won’t really learn anything if you have literally any courses or work experience in procurement

Would like to connect with ops people anyone willing to share a burner?

I am a ServiceNow Developer and want to switch the domain. Confused about which one to choose. Can any please suggest some good domains.

I am currently a medical biller and coder that just graduated. I am currently in an entry level position because I am still studying to get certified. I will have a year's work of exp in July and will sign a contract for another year because my boss is training me in more I don't know.

I'm wondering what the pay is for someone in my position without certification. I live with family and want to afford to move out but I am single and only make $18/hr. Is that standard or am I being underpaid?
