Analyst if truly an analyst position and not glorified accounting.

If they ask you to clean up accounting records, make entries, etc then they just called you a financial analyst to make you feel better

I currently work in Atlanta for a healthcare management company that is local to the area. I just got into the healthcare industry and have my bachelors degree in health science. I work in a position in the revenue cycle and I am looking to possibly get a new job in a more established company. I want more stability and opportunity within a company. Does anyone know of any places in/around Atlanta or remote that may fit this criteria? Sorry for the vagueness. Thanks!

I received a verbal offer for a VP position at CCB line of business at JPMC in NYC two weeks ago. The recruiter asked for salary expectations but there was no number set.

Has anyone had similar experience?

Hi! I’ve been approached by Securonix for a Sales Director role in NA. I know the field and their competitors.

Mostly referring to toxic culture and zero work life balance. How true is this in this sales org and the company in general? This is a backfill role after a 3 year tenure for the person who left.
