Anyone ever move from an internal role to one with external clients? I manage a learning function for a line of business and pondering the next move: industry, startup, consulting...

I moved from internal to become a client facing consultant. And I wanted to try it and make my resume look better. But honestly, I love being internal much much more and am looking to go back to industry. Although industry isn’t as flexible and maybe pay/benefit isn’t as good as big4. I guess it depends on your personality and what you’re looking for in your career

I was doing internal work at EY and made a switch to external (I told myself I will just do it for maybe 2-year to make my resume look better and go back to industry). It turned out to be one of the best career decisions I’ve ever made! But I know it’s not for everyone. I struggled for the first year and wondered if consulting was the right fit for me. Things got much better once I’m settled in and established my network. Looking back I never regretted my decision and I don’t think I will go back to industry any time soon. Feel free to drop a burner if you wanna chat more

Most people here work with external clients, as consultants

Right. I'm hoping to hearing experiences of people who have moved from an internal function to external facing role and if they are successful/happier.

Was doing internal for 3.5 years, and recently moved to a client-facing role. Pay is much better, but there’s is an obvious additional layer of stress when being at the whims of a client and project deadline. Internal deadlines and work always seemed to be much more flexible.

Hello! I’m new here and looking for positions in talent management specifically as a Talent Business Partner or HR Business Partner. Open to relocating but more interested in remote positions or local in Washington DC or Northern Virginia. I have a master’s degree in I/O psychology, SHRM-CP and 7+ years of talent management experience. If anyone is hiring, please let me know!

I’m pretty torn on whether I want to take an offer for an internal role or not…
The job itself sounds pretty interesting. Lots of opportunity for growth (eventually will build out a team).

My only concern is the hiring manager. I talked to someone in my network who has worked with him in the past and she told me that she would 100% work with him again bc she learned a lot, but that he has a very dominant personality and that some ppl can butt heads with him.
