Biotechnology Forums

Hello Everyone on this Awesome Forum,

I hold a degree in biological sciences, majored in biochemistry, but also very well versed in botany and microbiology terminologies. In addition, I do have a postgraduate diploma in English applied linguistics and I am very interested in science writing. Recently, I have earned a Statement of Accomplishment (with distinction) from a highly prestigious American university after scoring 98% in a course on writing in sciences. Furthermore, I practiced medical coding in the pharmacy of a large governmental hospital for about six months, but, honestly, that was quite a long time ago.

I am seeking an opportunity to switch back to medical coding, but, this time, remotely and with an Indian company. Why Indian? Mainly because I admire how Indian companies have made their way up the ladder of that business, and also because I am confident that I can impress them with the quality of the work that I can deliver, only with very little guidance or training.

Where is the problem? Great question! I am not Indian.

Do I have a chance? Should I keep looking? Or should I just save my time?

So many thanks for any advice or help.

Moderators, you're doing a great job! Keep up the great work.

Thanks

Undoubtedly you have a chance, but stay informed that the pay-scale will be far lower than your expectations as an over-sea candidate. Whereas, Indian employees may be content with the pay-packages offered for various profiles in medical coding, I'm not sure how satisfying it would be for some one whose currency is doing much better than Indian rupee.

Your profile is brilliant and it's great to see someone of your skill-set on this forum.

Looking forward

and Best wishes
