Does anyone have experience networking to earn a place on Congressional committee staff following a couple years in health care policy consulting or a similar path? Would love to connect and learn more about your story, any recommendations you have as I approach a similar timeline.

Committee staff is usually the toughest to crack. Chairs and ranking members tend to move folks from their office in (or hire people they know already) so your best bet is to network with senior staff for the senior members of relevant committees.

Not personally, I don’t want to work for the govt, but I would start out in a federal agency related to your committee of interest while getting close to congressional staff and sharing with those new friends your dream to work there. OR start out as state level legislative staff and regularly apply to federal positions. Look for mentors in the space—ask them everything and ask for internships

After spending 4 years as a mid-level ops manager, I tried to break into HR through talent acquisition. Now after 6 years in TA, I've had a hard time getting out of it. My goal was always to get into a more broad HRBP position, but I've since worked for smaller orgs without a solid HR career path. When I ask about my career goals, they keep telling me, "Soon!" Or "Maybe in 6 months!"

I'm testing SPHR in June. Any advice for securing the type of role I'm aiming for?

Should I be happy with just receiving my 3rd promotion in less than 2.5 years to Senior Consultant? Company growing fast, tenured employees getting burnt out/leaving and room opened up to move up quickly. Change in leadership recently as well. Was offered 17.5% increase and this is my first job out of school. I don’t want to grow too fast, but this seems too good to be true…
