Anyone made a jump to Human Resources? I have an interview offer for a Senior Benefits Analyst and I’m not sure if I should accept. Is this potentially a good job to transition into HR? Thanks!

I worked as an HR consultant for years - I don’t think being a benefits analyst is a good exit opportunity for most people.

It’s a lot of admin type work - like ensuring vendor file feeds are accurate, working on benefit communication materials, answering employee questions, etc

Of course it depends on what you are looking for. I personally did not find the work to be interesting even on the consulting side

Hey everyone - I could do with some advice. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I am having a hard time getting interview calls. I am trying to pivot from consulting to the industry and targeting project/program management roles. I have been doing this work for 7+ years now (total YOE 12 years) so certainly have the right skillset. I have tried a couple of referrals too but that didn’t help either. Any advice you guys could provide would be helpful. Thanks!

What are your strategies for completing work efficiently? How do you figure out how long projects should take? A consistent piece of feedback on my yearly reviews has been that I over-bill & spend too much time on assignments. It’s something I actively work on, but I still have no concrete sense of how long I should spend on basic tasks (e.g., drafting a motion to dismiss). My firm is right to expect that I manage my time better as a mid-level associate. WFH has made my time management worse.
