I work in HR and trust me if you’re a lawyer you’ll have no issues getting in without degree or certification in an HR field

I was offered the opportunity and passed on it. I like the employee relations and investigations but have no interest in the talent or development part. Attorney colleagues generally recommended against it as it can be hard to return to law. Our former head of hr for North America was a former attorney though never practiced in the us

Has anyone found a way to automate salary certifications?

We get about 3-5 requests daily to fill out salary certifications for our employees in EMEA.

At the moment, we have to do all of them manually. We open a pdf, then open their employee file and plug away. It's tedious and time-consuming, but the banks I found won't accept an internal salary certification for some reason. They're adamant about using their form. Has anyone come across this?

Hi Guys,
Help needed!!!
I received offer from HCL as a lead consultant, And I need to understand role and responsibilities in general for Lead consultant, if anyone is aware plz help? Is it equivalent to Tech Lead or Associate Manager?

Graduated in 2020, wanted to be a graphic designer, took a job at a startup in a social media role. The boss called me the "r" word for not handling entire 13-ish accounts roster well by myself. I quit. Found a role as social media specialist. Realized (again) that I hate social media. Moved to in-house mktg manager, only to be a glorified graphic designer / someone to call the city to cut down trees. I job hopped too much, I feel my portfolio is empty. How do I restart again? I feel defeated.

Hey y'all, kind of a two part question:
1. I enjoy the people management more than individual contributor stuff. What career paths do you see in our industry for people who are managing support engineering teams?
2. What certifications are valued today? Seems like being a AWS Cloud Practitioner is a good general one, but are there others that stand out?

Hello everyone! This is my first time posting since joining this platform. I’m interested in connecting with someone who is open to HR mentoring.

Even if it’s for feedback, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!
