I work in a change mgt/org develop internal team in a consulting firm. I feel weird in that when people ask me what I do in public I never had a way to clearly answer that question as most people don't Sr to know what org devlp or change mgt is but I also don't feel like my job is "hr" at all. How do you guys answer that question in a short way?

After 3 years of dealing with the worst firm I've ever had the displeasure of working for, I finally landed my dream gig at a small specialty firm.

Keep looking for what you want and deserve. I'm happy to be forging a better path away from what I've had to endure.
