Career stability should be a key focus for revenue cycle consultants, as well as ambition, according to Andrew Trechsel, senior associate in executive search firm Witt/Kieffer's healthcare practice.
Mr. Trechsel shared the following tip with Becker's Hospital Review.
"Too often I see revenue cycle consultants that move every few years or who specialize in independent consulting. While this is a good way to grow your career and skill set, hiring organizations for top executives like to see stability as well. There's something to be said about being ambitious and moving up, but not to the long-term detriment of your career."
