Template? No. Concept? Sure

I said: I want to be doing X in 3-5 years

4 years later, I'm a few months away from doing it. All I did was pick a handful of short term goals based on the circumstances over the years to get me there (which would shift a lot)

As long as you're viewing short term actions with a very long-term lens, you'll get there. As you near that long term goal, you can start thinking of a new one.

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?
