Pros: your voice matters, your contributions matter, collaboration is 10/10, very much “one team one dream”, the wins feel huge, you’re not just a number

Cons: not much process/disorganized, relentlessly pitching ALL THE TIME, really long hours, 100% pedal to the metal

Pros if you get a good client they are incredibly grateful and open to new work and new ideas and it’s really rewarding shaping someone’s business from the ground up.

Cons if your client sucks and doesn’t have a crystal clear idea of who they are as a company they will spin the hell out of you, waste tons of time, and you ultimately will make nothing.

One was a small vet tech company and one was for crypto. I’ll let you guess which was which.

Everything Creative 1 said. I’ll also add that I found it easier to feel enmeshed when at a start-up. The founders and initial employees at the one I was at hung out ALL the time and expected new hires to as well as part of the culture. That personally was a living hell for me.

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything. I was looking at both SHRM-CP and SPHR. Everyone that I have spoken to has the SHRM, but that’s also only looking at individuals in a small geographic footprint and within 3-4 different companies. I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks

No one—of any age, on any occasion—ever—says “It’s easy as 1 2 3!” And yet every now and then, even now, you see it as a line (junk mail mostly). Did anyone EVER say it, outside of advertising?

Got an offer, made a counter, they came back and said they’re keeping their offer where it is.

Jobs ok. Could use the benefits. Offer was below market.

Thoughts?
