Have any of you transitioned into an HR role? What would you say are the transferable skills you leveraged the most? I'm considering the shift but have apprehensions that I'm not going to be able to handle all that it takes to be in Hr. On the other hand, I feel super confident that I will love what HR, at least the idea of it that I have, entails. Would love to hear firsthand experience from someone who has made this shift.

I considered making the move and even had a solid job offer. For me, it helped having a degree in Business Management. I also did some HR duties at the time including payroll, benefits sign ups, and employee onboarding/off boarding. Ultimately, the pay wasn't where I was at because I would have been more entry level, which is fine and to be expected, but I liked money a lot more than the idea of starting over at a low wage.

Try and get an entry-level HR certification like the aPHR. That will validate some foundational knowledge you'll need about employment law, recruitment, and compensation.. which I assume aren't exactly thing you deal with in your current job. I've been in HR a long time ago, and did the opposite kind of shift. But that's what I think you could do.
