    Thanks for making this vid… I’ve been going back and forth with whether i want to do medical coding or IT… I was going to go with medical coding but really I know IT would be more of my vibe. But for some reason when searching for what steps to take in IT to become a cybersecurity specialist or any other IT role there is just too many opinions and I get discouraged … but I will for sure check out that website you mentioned. Thank you!!

    As a sr. software qa tester with 4 years of experience. The tech field is brutal, constant lay offs and it's difficult to land a job. Just recently laid off due to reduce of workforce because of the economy. Pivoting to Medical Coding as it seems more of a reliable job.

      Medical coding is exhausting. It comes with burn out, plateau, and underpaid. Depending on demographics. I understand how she feels !!! I’m ready to exit from medical coding. I’m looking for senior Business Intelligence Developer - Clinical Content Management

    Hi! I just watched this video and you literally are living what I thought I'd feel like later on after pursuing medical billing and coding. The fact that you are honest about the pay hits home for me. I literally have been searching for a tech field that I could get in without consuming a lot of time to learn, something where I could have the wfh option and ultimately something that had more earning potential. Thank you for this. This was so on time.

    I'm happy for you. 🙂 I tell people all the time to do what makes you happy. It's your life. And as a medical coder myself, I understand it's not for everybody and that's ok. BTW, medical coders can make 6 figures in the education sector. With that said, enjoy your new profession. I pray that all your dreams come true. God bless you 🙏🏿🙂

      Tech is TheNew Black UA-cam channel played a major role in me pivoting to Tech. It's an excellent and insightful channel that showcase all of the possibilities for someone looking to have a high paying job. You've got a solid foundation in medical coding, so your attention to detail and understanding of systems will serve you well in QA testing. You're on the right track-may you be successful in your pivot to Tech and secure a salary of your dreams!

I am doing my research, but I feel 90% confident that I will be signing up and I was looking at Careerist, so I will be sure to use your link. It also amazes me that all of your reasons for pivoting match mine to a T. I wish you all the best in your journey and I'll be tuning in.

    Omg I’m so happy I found your channel! I’ve been a medical coder for 5 years now and I’m ready to move on to being a manual QA also, I’ve outgrown it. I just finished an internship for software testing in October. I’m still studying and I’ll be ready for the job market in February. I’m looking forward to your new journey 😊😊😊 I’m underpaid in my current coding position and they are making ridiculous production standards. I find myself feeling burnt out and unmotivated often, it’s time to move on for sure.
