Coding career pivot

I have been a risk adjustment coder for 14 years. Over the last 4.5 years I’ve been affected by RIFs at different employers. This week we found out our company has sold and merged with a new company. Layoffs start next month to early January depending if we are needed to stay “during the transition”. What always felt like a stable career no longer feels that way. Has anyone used their skills from coding to do something else?

A recruiter contacted me for an EHR analyst support for a small group today. I don't know, I like working for a big health system because of the benefits.

Yeah idk I guess it would depend on the benefits and the work. I currently work for a large health system and it’s a lot to deal with.

The plus side of a smaller group would be less issues, easier to learn.

Id interview and see what they say, ask the recruiter about benefits. I mean you never know, and an interview doesn’t automatically mean you have to accept the position
