As change management professionals, what do you guys enjoy/hate most about your jobs? I’m on the operations side and looking into moving into change management completely, would love to get the feedback. I’m open to doing change management consulting or working internally. Also, if anyone would like to chat (DM or virtually) or if you’re in Toronto and would like to have a coffee chat, I’m open :)

I do a lot of tech transformations and I love the look on the client’s face when I tell them I don’t want to talk tech, let’s just talk about change affecting your people. I think they appreciate that, especially with these big finance transformations.

Gosh I’m so tired of tech talk so I understand lol.

I just think you can’t beat the experience of working as a change management practitioner in a consulting firm. I think you learn so much, the tools available to you are significantly better, and you’re treated as a revenue generating person as opposed to cost center.

I work with a lot of “change management“ people in industry, and it is my experience that they are often glorified admin/ or communications individuals who just don’t sit in the comms function. They are also often paid pretty poorly. I do think the one upside to change management in industry is that it’s easy to impress and you have a very reasonable worklife balance.

Thanks for this! Love your take on revenue generating as opposed to cost center, didn’t even consider that.

Hey ZSers,

I have been selected into ZS for the BTAC role under CCM(Customer-Centric Marketing). My YOE is 3.8 in Cognizant, and the domain is ETL, DW, cloud(AWS).

My question is, ZS is giving a great package compared to what I have in Cognizant (Above 100% hike), and Cognizant is ready to retain me by giving somewhere 50%-60% hike. Will ZS be a good choice for me to switch? In terms of growth, technologies, work, pay. Or should I accept what cognizant is giving and get retained?

So, a recruiter gave me feedback that my lack SPHR or SHRM-SCP is causing my resume to be knock out by AI and human recruiters despite my position and work history in Multinationals and being in Technology. They suggested that we put SPHR ( Lapsed). I let it lapse in 2017. What is your opinion? Plus if I were to take another certification - should I take SPHR or SHRM-SCP?
