Has anyone successfully made the career move from an HR specialization to an HRBP role? If so, how? I have been working for 7 years in a very niche HR specialization and while I wear many hats on the HR team, I feel like this is hard to express to recruiters or even get an interview for an HRBP role. My niche area has really burnt me out, as it’s very political and I want to expand my horizons. I am already working on completing my GPHR certification. Any other tips?

I was able to do it after being in the Learning space for 15-years and then moved to HRBP role. I would recommend looking for opportunities within your current org. Also, if the role is not available, seek for projects or initiatives which would help you to develop knowledge and gain experience on other HR areas like Engagement. Hope this helps

OP, what sub function within HR are you in? And what kind of org are you in? (Size, industry, etc). Happy to provide my 2 cents if you are comfortable sharing more context. I’m a former headhunter (specializing in HR officers) and HR consultant for over a decade so hopefully I can provide you helpful patterns I’ve seen and tips to get you to your target role. Feel free to DM me if you want to chat live

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?

hi all, currently have two offers:

1: EY - FDD, home city, very good $$ for FDD

2: PwC - post-merger integration, DDV team (essentially M&A Consulting) - bigger city, always been keen to move

Coming as a Senior in Audit, with recent FDD exposure (2 deals, obviously not much). I was looking for something more than just number crunching, wanting a mix of quant / quali / strategic work. M&A Advisory or a Corp Strategy role is where I'm looking to end up long term.

Thanks in advance!
