Any successful move to review

I’ve had good luck with S/Ls in the past 10 years, but my current one is making me crazy w/ the ridiculous micromanaging and twelve thousand emails/day. I am considering trying to move to review. Does anyone have any advice for moving to review? I only see job openings for experienced reviewers.

I’m not an investigator, but as a general guideline hiring managers are always over-specifying the qualifications and looking for that purple squirrel. Are they really ONLY looking for experienced reviewers? There’s one way to find out, send them a resume/application.

I was crossed trainer in review and review is worse in my opinion! There was a project where they took FIs out the field to cross train for a month or so and we all begged to go back to the field. ….. just my two cents

I also did review for a while and it was my least favorite position in the BI field after 20 years and various jobs / vendors. Will never do it again. It’s tough and tedious! My two cents.

Pros and cons to both but overall I actually preferred 1099 review, and it was a lot more lucrative. The main thing I didn’t like (and the reason I left) is that work piles up when you are gone. I like to take a lot of vacation time and it was always disheartening to come back to a pile of corrected cases that needed to be looked at again. There was zero micromanaging and I’m not even sure what a micromanager would get involved in as long as you don’t sit on a case too long. The only time I ever got one-on-one attention was when I reached out with a question or issue.
