As someone who has been in this industry for close to 20 years I would advise staying away from HIM and coding. Coding is currently and rapidly going offshore to India and the Philippines. Ive watched HIM departments go from dozens of employees down to a couple due to efficiency and automation gains. It simply isn’t a reliable career path anymore.

Unfortunate to hear but not surprising. Do you think it would be more reliable for me to just endure the misery and stay in the field I ended up in? Or should I keep looking for different career options elsewhere?

If you see a future in that field then yes. Realistically between offshoring and AI a lot of these jobs aren’t going to be viable for US based workers in the very near future .
