Had this happen at my previous firm, it was pretty straightforward. Don’t think anyone had any problems.

Then maybe they changed something.

I did it multiple times. It’s very easy. Just get well organized in terms of paperwork and know what ports of entry are best (e.g., billy bishop airport).
Hardest part is to convince employers that it won’t be an issue at all as they are usually scared when they hear the word visa.

I am looking to make a career change to HR. I currently make 75K as a sales and development coach. I had a recent offer for a state government position in a talent acquisition role but I’d be taking a $25K pay cut. I am extremely over qualified for the position but it could possibly be a stepping stone and gives me the time to acquire SHRM certifications and possibly start taking classes to get my MBA. My question is those currently in an HR role, would this move make sense to you?
