Valuations for sure. More exit ops and not as pigeonholed imo

You should think about what you like to do. A lot of people think valuations can exit into PE or banking but that's not really the case (I'm in valuations). International tax is not my cup of tea but exit ops are tax positions in larger corps. If you like tax, why not do that.

A lot of people think this way. I think because we work with a lot of mergers and innovative companies, people think that can translate to PE. With that said, I do have colleagues who went to smaller PE shops so it's not impossible. Equity research is also a possible transition at the sr level but you have to be quite in tune with the markets and thats not necessarily a trait required in valuations.

Hello Everyone,

I have 4.3 YOE currently and I was offered Engr II - Full Stack position in VDSI. But after doing some research it seems Engr II is usually for YOE between 2 and 4. Is this correct? Will there be a problem for me if I take up this position with my YOE?
Since I am a lateral entry, I think promotion to Engr III also would take a lot of time.

Also can you please let me know the current designation hierarchy in VDSI?

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?

Looking for advice! I was approved to work remotely but my salary will decrease 10%. I received two raises so the decrease brings me down to my previous salary. I was told that it’s due to the cost of labor in the area.

I’ve been with my company for 8+ yrs, I love my manager and the work I do (engagement, recognition, & wellness programs) but I feel like I’m limiting myself since I have the experience, an HRM degree, and SHRM-CP credentials.

Should I apply for roles outside the company?
