Hello lovely ladies, I am reaching out to this community for some mentorship- I work at a medical device company as a BA and want to get into a new role. (Bachelors in Mechanical; Masters in Industrial Engineering). I have a few questions: 1. What are some roles I can consider/transition into with 3 years of work experience as a BA? 2. What are some ways I can build my profile for that role? 3. Is it safe to switch jobs given the market conditions? (Hesitant cause I am on work visa) TYIA

Are you a tech business analyst? If so, do you want to stay in the tech industry? I would say, scrum master or delivery manager would be common things that business analyst I work with move into. Good luck whatever you choose!

I am a delivery manager. The typical career progression at Pwc goes business analyst to scrum master to delivery manager. you definitely do not need a PMP. Agile certifications are more helpful, for example, from scrum alliance, product owner or scrum master, which is testing only so you don’t have to sit in a classroom which is nice. Scaled Agile framework certifications are also good if you work on large portfolios. Overall, moving into the delivery manager path involves having a lot of experience on tech projects so you can spot the risks and know how to mitigate them. Also work on your communication skills with your customers and how to put things into plain English and budgeting and financial management of products. Good luck!

I don’t know much about engineering but perhaps you can look at your previous fellow students. Where are they now? Also, LinkedIn is a great source of information when looking at career paths. You can check out what others are doing in your field with similar competencies. Wish I could help more. Good luck.

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?

Long story short: I’m searching for mentorship or to be pointed in the direction of a good course so I can help the clients I do have while I’m here

Looking for advice! I was approved to work remotely but my salary will decrease 10%. I received two raises so the decrease brings me down to my previous salary. I was told that it’s due to the cost of labor in the area.

I’ve been with my company for 8+ yrs, I love my manager and the work I do (engagement, recognition, & wellness programs) but I feel like I’m limiting myself since I have the experience, an HRM degree, and SHRM-CP credentials.
