I hope this can help other HR who feel stuck, overwhelmed, want to change career or a good reminder of why we do what we do☺️

Knowing yourself, reflecting on your wants/desires/needs and goals is so key to finding success in your professional and personal life. Your why should be enough to get you up and going in the morning, and encourage you to sleep well at night. So important!

I love this. Its soooo true in any profession. When you keep your why at the center of everything you do, it really makes a huge impact on your day to day and the energy you bring to each situation you encounter

It's my first month in a new job as Product Owner. I went from a company that digital product development was their secondary focus along with consultancy services, to a company that their only focus is the product.

Hi fishes,

I think I am slipping into depression. My life seems to have no meaning and all I do is work. I don't get time for myself or my family, friends and loved ones. But I can't leave my job and take a break as I need the financial support.

I also feel I am earning way less than my peers which makes me feel like a loser. 4.5 years of work-ex and 16LPA.

What should I do? I need good wlb but also need money badly.

I am looking to make a career change to HR. I currently make 75K as a sales and development coach. I had a recent offer for a state government position in a talent acquisition role but I’d be taking a $25K pay cut. I am extremely over qualified for the position but it could possibly be a stepping stone and gives me the time to acquire SHRM certifications and possibly start taking classes to get my MBA. My question is those currently in an HR role, would this move make sense to you?
