Hello! I have a two part question: 1) is it worth it to obtain an SHRM specialty credential if I don’t have the broader SHRM certification? 2) has anyone gotten the People Analytics or Talent Acquistion credential? If so, how valuable was it from a learning perspective? Do you feel it significantly contributed to your knowledge in either area? Thank you!

Why PMP and not PRINCE2? Haven't done either but keen to know your reasons for choosing PMP.

Have an offer for a SM strategy role in industry. Offer is coming in at 280- 300 TC. Total experience 10+ years, 7 YOE at MBB, T5 MBA, MCOL city. Am I being low balled? Should I continue to search for something better?

Trying to make the switch out of law. It’s not for me. Been in transactional RE work for a while now and I’m ready to move on. I’ve got an MBA as well so looking to try to find a career that would allow me to use my business background and actually help make business decisions. Would love to try consulting. Does anyone know where I should look?

Curious what comp range you would expect for someone with 6 YOE in HR. Current title of Director with growth potential to exec team as first CHRO. About 150 employees at multiple locations. manages 2 employees right now, looking to add a third. At Director level 2.5 years before that was generalist. Located in Indiana and the organization is manufacturing. Bachelors degree and shrm certification.

Anyone working in IB or consulting? I have an MBA and I’m looking to get into those careers. Having a hard time breaking in though. Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I joined a banking company post MBA from one of the top B school of India. However, the job does not aligns with my interest. I'm more inclined towards tech roles and I have been applying externally for product manager role for last 4 months. New joiner are not allowed to switch to other roles internally till they complete 2 years.
But, I'm not getting shortlists as most of the PM/APM roles requires prior PM experience. Can anyone please let me know what to do in such a situation.

For those who have obtained the CFF certification:
I was asked to put together a working plan to obtain my CFF credential. I’m aware of the 2 certificate program (Core and Specialized) through the AICPA that will lead to the CFF. Does anyone have experience in how long it would take to complete the certificates and if there are other necessary or helpful study materials that would be useful? For background, I’m 6 months into working at this firm and have touched a variety of cases.

Asking on behalf of a friend. For MBB, the Big 4, and other top tier consulting firms - which MBA schools enable you to be a MBA hire? Just the T10? UT-Austin is what I’m curious about specifically. For example, I have an MBA from a small private school and I know the big firms wouldn’t hire me at the MBA pay so want to learn where the line gets drawn to give my friend advice. TIA!

Serious question. What top MBA program is the most fun? Not looking to party but looking to make life long quality friends and enjoy my time learning and exploring the world together

Hi everyone, I am looking to go for my masters degree, I have my bachelors in health services administration and economics and I am looking into dual degree programs. The ones I am currently looking into is Scranton’s MBA/MPH program, as well as SUNY Buffalo. I am also looking at the Zicklin/Baruch MBA program, but wanted some advice on what to do. I am looking to move further up in management within a healthcare system, and wanted to get some advice from others besides the people I work with.

Thinking of writing goals for my current role (started last month). What are you all doing for your professional development? I already have my MBA, PO/PM and Scrum Master certs.

Hi new friends! 31M, married, and living in Las Vegas. I’m a foodie, travel enthusiast, dog lover. If anyone ever vacations in Vegas, lmk.

I’ve been in life underwriting for over 20 years and honestly have never enjoyed it. The strictly production related work is hard for me to stay focused and be interested in the job. Any ideas on what else I can do and still make decent money? I’ve always found it pretty stressful and would prefer a less stressful position.

It feels like customers treat me with a higher degree of disrespect because I have an accent, and that makes it hard for them to believe I understand what I'm saying

Ladies, my boyfriend and I have been dating for a few months now. For some time now, I haven’t been in the mood to have sex to or to be intimate at all with him. We are even going for therapy but I don’t know what to do. Is the only solution here to break up ? FYI- we are both pretty young right now

After EY splits, their consulting firm is gonna be at the same level as boutique firms 😂

If you get word that the fall will start out online again, how many of you will look for another career path? It’s one thing to end a year online, but to START one and actually teach with fidelity seems like a whole different beast.

Hi all! What are the differences between senior/staff SWE and software architects? Are architects still a thing? I'm causally searching for a new position and I've noticed staff and even some senior SWE roles sound like they have more leadership and architectural design responsibilities and focus on coding much less. Is this normal? I would definitely like to continue mentoring, but I also don't want to spend my entire day in meetings. 😕

Parenting is hard. Parenting toddlers is hard. It’s the same all over the world: early mornings, late nights, sleep training, sleep regressions, little people with big feelings, etc. It’s a blessing and a joy, but omg, it’s exhausting. I know I’m not alone, just looking to commiserate. I also have a three month old. Love them both to pieces, just looking forward to sleeping through the whole night again. I’m not ungrateful, just looking for a shared experience with others, and advice from those

What is it like working at Egon Zehnder as an Associate Research Analyst? Has anyone moved from full recruiting to research/ sourcing?

Partners, stop being biased and creating your cliques of favored people in your team. They use that to boss around which you’d be aware of. It takes hit on mental health for a lot of us FYI!

Anyone have good insight into the company/culture for: Sun Life Financial, Silver Point Capital, and EQT Partners?

What are the standard fees for outsourcing consultancy work?
I've been working with a newly established consultancy business. Until now I've been paid day rates or project rates.
I've been invited to lead, build and manage the HR consultancy.
What are reasonable fee structures?
1. If they source work and give it to me to complete, what is a fair percentage?
2. If I source work and complete it, what should I 'pay' them given that it's under their 'brand'?

Advice on taking and passing the SPHR exam?

Is it common practice for employee relations teams to have a policy that strongly discourages supervisors from corresponding with terminated employees? Cont’d...

I am working on creating a new recognition program for our TA team specifically. We are looking to celebrate creative things other than just birthdays and anniversaries. What are some of your teams celebrating?

SPHR exam- has anyone ever been “randomly selected” for an application audit? This just happened to me and the sheer amount of effort that is going to go into collecting all the documents almost makes me not want to follow through. Since I didn’t finish undergrad, they’re asking for a copy of my high school diploma or transcript and that itself is going to be an absolute nightmare to get hold of. Guess I’m not really looking for a solution here, just venting.

I found a new job (huzzah!) and turned in my 2 weeks notice yesterday. But I started feeling crummy last night and went to the doctor for a COVID test today. Lab results already came back positive. So now I feel super guilty about basically calling in sick to my last two weeks of work...should I try and push out my start date to help out current employer? Feel like current supervisor is going to throw a hissy fit.

Any suggestions for continuing to sharpen my skills as a recruiter when there's no TA manager and no "mentorship" in the company? I'm a 1-man recruiting team and the rest of the HR team is not as knowledgeable in the scope of recruiting.

Thank you!

Any Benefits specialist looking for a job? North America specific?

Hi everyone. Just looking for some advice.

I recently lost my job and my former employer notified me over a call, and the reason was that they’re just too busy to train me. I then applied for EI / unemployment but got told I wouldn’t be getting any money, because my employer said they had to let me go due to shortage of work. I know that’s not true because they hired 2 new people the following week.

What would be the appropriate steps to take in this situation? Thank you for any advice!

What is the best way to get SHRM certified. I have my associates in business administration.

has anyone seen immediate results after getting a SHRM certification? i’m applying for entry level hr roles with recruiting coordinator, hr intern, admin asst, and a customer service role on my resume and no luck so far. i’m wondering if this will help me land a job quicker? also wanted to ask if anyone has knowledge of grants/programs to assist with payment since i am unemployed and money is tight. thanks!

I currently have my SHRM-CP cert but would like to know if obtaining either the CEBS or CBP cert is worth it? If you are certified, which cert do you have? I do plan on staying in the Total Rewards realm for quite some time.

First time poster here!

After spending 4 years as a mid-level ops manager, I tried to break into HR through talent acquisition. Now after 6 years in TA, I've had a hard time getting out of it. My goal was always to get into a more broad HRBP position, but I've since worked for smaller orgs without a solid HR career path. When I ask about my career goals, they keep telling me, "Soon!" Or "Maybe in 6 months!"

I'm testing SPHR in June. Any advice for securing the type of role I'm aiming for?

If you recently passed the SHRM CP exam, how much of a pay increase did you receive from your company? (%) Trying to figure out what is a reasonable ask on my end. Thanks in advance!!
