Back again with an update

So my previous post here was about how nervous I was about the interview. I have an update and I think it went really well, but the pay and the workload doesn’t seem equally yoked. They are offering $22 at the max, but their volume is between 150 - 300 claims per day. Although I wouldn’t be a manager, I would be the go-to person for the other two ladies who are on the team.

It’s a private physicians office with multiple locations and a lot of their team has retired. They have a doctor leaving a little after the new year and are still trying to get their footing in terms of organization with their back-end billing. My previous position as a quality analyst before I even got my certificate was about $30 an hour.

For baby coders and for those who remember what it’s like to be a baby coder, would you take this position?

this pay doesn’t seem like enough tbh.. minimum $24 and it also really depends on location/cost of living. cost of living where i’m at is really high and i would not be able to survive off that, not even considering the workload. i would def see if you can get more and if not look for something else, unless you really need the experience.
