Ive been at my job for 8 years as a tax analyst then and now a billing analyst don’t want to go back into the same field, where would I go from here career wise?

   Healthcare insurance coordinators are needed and your background would be a good fit, though it might be a little too close to what you're already doing. There are crossover grants administrator roles in biomedical research that combine the money aspect with grant oversight. Even better if you take some grant-writing courses to introduce you to the field.

   Thanks so much. Exactly what I needed to see! Truly appreciate.

   I work at a medical university and there are lots of interesting roles most people don't even know exist. If you have an academic or big hospital system near you, browse the open postings. Set a minimum pay range if you can to narrow the field to feasible jobs, and then go through and click on anything that looks remotely doable - skip the faculty and obvious credential-specific postings like nurses or IT, but don't discount coordinator, administrator, or specialist jobs because they don't always mean what you think they do in my field. Focus your applications on jobs that would be a really good fit and customize your application for each one. You'll need to be very clear about where your experience and skills fit most of the job duties because they aren't likely to sort it out themselves, especially if they have a decent number of applicants.

   Thanks again. This was so helpful. I have several hospitals in my area that I can look into now.
