I joined the company as a buyer last May and I’m in line with a promotion to be a planner really soon. The salary they offered when I joined was actually below the market average and I have been doing planner jobs since the beginning of this year. Some other background will be bachelors degree in Supply chain + Apics certificate + a little bit over 3 YOE; and I’m in Toronto Canada. I’m just wondering how could I negotiate to get more compensation if the numbers turns to be less than expected?

I’m taking the SPHR in less than 2 months and haven’t started studying for it. How difficult is it? I’ve been in HR for 20 years and have experienced ALOT in that time, although there are always employee relations scenarios that surprise me! How much do I really need to study for this? I just can’t seem to motivate myself to do it, I’m so mentally burnt out at the end of the day from a high stress HR job, the last thing I feel like doing is studying HR!
