Money can corrupt you? Idk man

Only downside I’ve noticed is that A&M doesn’t spend as much on company parties/social events (they’re not flying thousands of college kids to Disney world every year for example). Of course, the money they save there goes straight into their employees’ pockets instead so I’ll gladly take it

Thank you

From what I understand, less offshore resources to do the grunt work for you, but this would only matter to you early in your career, MDs aren’t processing trial balances.

Try to find someone that left A&M for B4 and ask them why they left

I tried finding a downside before joining and couldn’t be happier that I stopped second guessing it. Wish I came sooner tbh.

Just to add, I have heard during periods of market downturn (think covid) the Rx group got some extra help from TAG. There is an element of cross training.

So long story short, I do think FDD experience is valued/considered for Rx work.

Hi all!
Would love some insight on how you went from an HR assistant/coordinator to an HR Generalist. I’ve been in the HR world for 8 years, and only in the last 2-3 have I really done real HR work. The first company I was at didn’t have a solid HR team so I don’t really count that. I feel like I’m ready to take on more responsibility and learn more. And of course make more money.

I have looked into getting SHRM certification. But should I go back to school and get my masters in Hr?
