Probably not a lot of people here who have left...but I do know someone who got a job at Amazon working on a more managerial side of things.

Never really left the industry. I just stepped up he career ladder and sought for growth and advancement. I don't want to be jumping form one industry to another.

Left the industry 3 years ago and ended up with my current position. I had to leave for career advancement and professional growth.

I moved to brokerage and have been in procurement for 5 years now. The brokerage experience helped me transition a great deal!

I've been planning to switch industries. I don't think I can afford to leave right now. Maybe some other time if I already have enough money to cover my succeeding expenses.

I am curious about this too. I've been thinking of leaving the industry but not sure what to do next. Are you also planning to leave?

This person doesn’t necessarily need to have both skills but if they did great, but if only one, great too.

Thanks! :)

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?
