For those who completed their SHRM certification this year (CP or SCP) and opted for self study, what study materials did you use to prepare?

If I were to make a career change out of HR, what else could I use my skills for? I have 10 years of progressive HR experience from HR Assistant up to Director and have started thinking about a change.

Anyone getting blown up on LinkedIn by franchisee opportunities? I have never indicated interest but get a new message from someone trying to pitch me almost every day…

One thing they don't prepare you for when you're getting into advertising is the extent to which being a cheerleader propels you. I'm not a misanthrope, but I'm definitely not naturally wired for cheerleading and it for sure has had an adverse impact on my career.

B-roll footage used to be a just-in-case thing ... now you can squeeze half the campaign assets out of it!

Is anyone hiring? I have sales experience in the telecom industry and real estate. Looking to relocate to the Bay Area. Looking to crush 2021! Thanks in advance.

Curious how folks are governing/auditing their HRIS data. Wondering if this always done it manually.

What are your thoughts on a fair base salary for tier 3 strategic account manager role (tech), for someone with 7years experience, but not in tech?

Hi! Excited we have a space finally :)

Friendly advice to the 50+ crowd: your ten year old headshot actually makes you look older. The divide between what you look like now and what you used to look like actually works against you.

Pretty sure the saga of the slave driven company has come to an end I’m the only HR person at this company. Friday I had full admin rights, and went to check email Saturday; account locked. Payroll/HRIS locked out. PEO service says no pending termination is on my file. Went to the office today to get my things just in case. Located in CA. Was about to report numerous violations too. All because I couldn’t solve 8 months of payroll issues in a day. 🫠 Good riddance, I’m getting a lawyer.

I just got into reading books, any suggestions to start with? Which could help to increase media/marketing knowledge.

violently bouncing between "god they need to pay me more" and "god they're gonna fire me" 😑😑😑😑😑😑

Creatives who left for tech. What is it exactly that you do now? Is it still writing or art directing? Or a different creative role? Hearing about people leaving for tech so I want to know what it means exactly aside from the benefits.

We have sales people in Canada and the US, the Canadians make 150K CAD and down here it’s 150K USD, the Canadians argue they should be making 30% more than the US colleagues to be equal bc of the exchange! I explain the salary is dependent on the market data for them in Canada, WHERE THEY LIVE, and you can’t compare it to the US employees and the market data down here. Overall they are both in the 75th% for total comp. for their industry. Am I wrong?

When an agency is about to hire you as a creative lead but without seeing your book to find out what you had done in your career, is that a red flag to you as a creative?

What’s the current WFH model @Merck ? Are they doing a hybrid schedule? How many days?

Looking to get back into SaaS sales after a few year hiatus. Any tips or recommendations to ramp myself back into SaaS sales? Any podcast or books, etc?

Hi Fishes,

Does anyone know about TCS Digitate? Can you share some reviews about it?

Thanks!

Hadn’t noticed this sub before, and most of the threads are old so thought I’d ask a follow up - how has everyone been handling parenting with public accounting? I’ve got a toddler and my wife is an accountant (industry), and we only have a few immediate family in the country- but they have health concerns. Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.

Do you think logistics and supply chain management is an industry that can function effectively 100% remotely?

How much should one get for 6+years of experience?

I’m dealing with a difficult management situation and don’t know what to do, how would you report someone when nobody really cares what’s going on or is automatically going to side with the other person?

A little frustrated that I have friends who persistently ask for discounts or free products. If you can't actually support my business when it's just getting started, wait until you can instead of asking me to lower my prices for you.

Did anyone hate wedding planning? I’m constantly considering cancelling the wedding cuz I honestly can’t believe how much drama it’s causing with all family members.......

Any M&A tax practices out there that will allow remote/mostly remote work in the future? Where?

Are private equity operating roles considered respectable and prestigious in the buy-side space? What does the compensation look like for an associate at a LMM firm?

I posted this somewhere else before I remembered that I am in this bowl :) so, I changed jobs 6-7 months ago and I am realizing it is not a good fit. Leadership seem to not want to hear the truth so people tell them what they want to hear and if you don’t middle management gets pissed at you. I am seriously thinking about looking somewhere else. My question is how do you answer the “why are you looking to leave” question without bad mouthing your current company?

Any thoughts on how the litigation going on between Twitter and Elon Musk is going pan out?
