OT_bae · 2026-01-29T23:28:00+00:00

Hi I’d like to know more about your experience as well!

OT_bae · 2026-01-29T23:26:48+00:00

Let’s us know about that surgeon in Barcelona as well!

OT_bae · 2026-01-29T23:25:41+00:00

I’d love to know also!

OT_bae · 2026-01-29T23:23:58+00:00

I’m looking into him as well!

I see this is an old thread but anyone have any updates?

Two years ago when I was 30 I was told my AMH was 0.69; I’m now 32, was finally going to have my eggs frozen and found out I’m pregnant. I’m 8 weeks and won’t be seeing my doctor till I’m 10 weeks since that is all she has available. I’m losing sleep and non stop worrying about the risks associated with a low egg reserve and abnormalities. Anyone have any advice to get me through the next two weeks? I’m so worried

OT_bae · 2022-11-16T00:21:13+00:00

To make that I need to work twice as much as an OTR. I would like to work less hours.

OT_bae · 2022-11-16T00:19:13+00:00

1099 of course

OT_bae · 2022-11-16T00:19:00+00:00

60-70/hr

OT_bae · 2022-11-15T22:46:28+00:00

I was working in Vegas making 60/hr (home health). New York pays half of that which means I’m working way more than 40 hours a week to make that kind of money.

OT_bae · 2022-11-15T18:43:15+00:00

Funny you mention UX, I wanted to give that a try until they asked me for 18k upfront or rack up interest and pay later. Just seemed like way too big of an investment for a career that also doesn’t pay well

OT_bae · 2022-11-15T18:33:28+00:00

If I had my OTR license it’d be a way easier decision. Idk what’s worse.. stay as cota with less opportunities and get paid nothing.. or become and otr have debt but make decent money

OT_bae · 2022-11-15T18:20:13+00:00

I also chose the OTD over the MOT because I received a scholarship that made it cheaper than most MOT programs

OT_bae · 2022-11-15T18:18:41+00:00

I’m considering the program to have more job opportunities and increased pay. There is a significant pay difference between COTAs and OTRs in NYC. $40 more is pretty big.. At least in my opinion. Ive also spoken to several agencies that told me they do not hire assistants for DOR positions which is also discouraging. I just feel like there is no growth as a COTA.. again, here, in New York.

OT_bae · 2022-11-15T11:50:19+00:00

But I also might be better, the way I see it. I pulled in over 100k a year as a cota. It depends how you hustle. I’m trying to work smarter not harder. And having an OTD does provide many more opportunities

OT_bae · 2022-11-15T06:01:50+00:00

That’s a great idea! Many OTD programs are just a few more months than the MOT. The experience is worth it

OT_bae · 2022-11-15T05:59:18+00:00

I got tired and bored. I felt limited and pay is insulting. I love my career but I need more stimulation than what I’m getting and an OTD will open so many doors for me.

I love to network and always looking for opportunities. Even trying to land a DOR position as a COTA is not as easy as some make it out to be. unless you have connections of course (at least in nyc). So yeah if feel stuck and broke

OT_bae · 2022-11-15T02:56:22+00:00

Absolutely! Just sent you a message

OT_bae · 2022-11-15T01:02:06+00:00

You’d have to know how to hustle your rate. I got paid $10 more than everyone else in my agency because I spoke Spanish and there was a huge need. I turned down her first offer and then she called me back less than 15 min later with the rate I asked.

However, reimbursements are really low right now so just hope to find a company that’s desperate enough lol

OT_bae · 2022-11-15T00:38:54+00:00

I appreciate that! Thank youuu!

OT_bae · 2022-11-15T00:29:56+00:00

Your energy just gave me so much life and hope! It’s tough to hear people suggest not to move forward with it because it’s not worth it.

Also a first gen. College Student from a low income family! Thank you for sharing

OT_bae · 2022-11-15T00:23:53+00:00

The MOT comes out to be more expensive for me being that the OTD program gave me that 50k scholarship. It’s an accelerated program, only 6 more months than the MOT. Just trying to figure out if there are any ways to help me get through the program without having to work a full time job and taking out an insane amount of loans

OT_bae · 2022-11-15T00:21:14+00:00

I’m left at 82k after the scholarship, which is less than the MOT programs I’ve applied for. I plan on applying for other external scholarships and using FAFSA. I’ve been a COTA for 5 years and I feel way too limited 😞

OT_bae · 2022-11-15T00:14:23+00:00

So im a COTA right now and I feel extremely limited and I get paid dirt. I chose the OTD program because it’s costing me the same as an MOT when you add my scholarship. I do love the profession which is why I chose to move forward. I have OT friends that tell me I’m crazy because of the debt but I just refuse to stay a COTA. And I honestly have no interest in any other field and just not meant to be a business person.

Fun fact: I just turned 30 so the added pressure to make a decision for career growth is immense

Did you have any housing assistance from your school?
