Hello Folks!

I truly need your suggestion over here! I am currently working as a test engineer in a service based company and in total I have 3.7 years of experience in Software Testing field. I really want to do a career change. I wanted to pursue Product Management. If I take proper certification for Product management and learn all the necessary skills , will I be able to get a Product Manager job role with 3.7 years of Software Testing experience and no prior experience in the PM Field?

Looking for advice on career change. I’m a 45 year old single mom - I’ve been at my job for 18 years. I know I could be doing more. The job isn’t fulfilling and the workplace is rather toxic. The pay is pretty good - when I look at other open positions in my field / the pay is much less or the same. Honestly just unsure of what I “want” to do. Stay where I am and get a side hustle that may be fulfilling or change careers altogether. I’m a placement coordinator at a home care agency.

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything. I was looking at both SHRM-CP and SPHR. Everyone that I have spoken to has the SHRM, but that’s also only looking at individuals in a small geographic footprint and within 3-4 different companies. I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks

Hello everyone! This is my first time posting since joining this platform. I’m interested in connecting with someone who is open to HR mentoring.

Even if it’s for feedback, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

I’ve put myself up for L4 promo this cycle. Assuming I get it, what would be the best next steps to optimize for long-term growth/TC?

My understanding is that L5->L6 is extremely painful at
Google. It may be easier to leave for a handful of years and gain managerial experience before returning.

L4->L5 is less challenging; however, I’m under the impression I can do this quicker at another company (if I leave after being freshly promo’d) AND get higher TC.
