I’ve seen several studies that HR is underpaid mostly because it’s a female dominated but not female led job family.

Wow I never thought of this. That is an interesting point of view.

All functions are underpaid relative to the work that we do. HR doesn’t drive revenue so it can be tough for companies to pay top dollar for that work :-/

I would add that HR is a profit center when you can add organizational design and business partnership and metrics for growth together, that directly impact the bottom line. If it’s viewed on your company as a back office paper pushing admin function, the value hasn’t been properly demonstrated. Definitely can be grossly underpaid in most companies and industries.

I mean I don’t feel this way but I’m always ready and willing to make more!

I decided last week to actively look to leave not only my job but my industry, and felt really good and positive about it. Today I've woken up feeling daunted and unsure about it.

Ive sat with it for a while and I think it's because - and some of you can rightfully get your tiny violins out here - I haven't actively applied for jobs since I was a grad. Every job I have had has come from connections or referrals, but now I'm actively putting myself out there, I feel vulnerable.
