Help! My background is HR, but I was recently given responsibility for L&D. I have an HR Coordinator who facilitated their first orientation and it was pretty bad. They were reading the slides word for word, monotone and it was hard for the new hires to understand them. I don't have any other help, so I need them to help with facilitating other training in addition to orientation. Any ideas on how to make them a more engaging trainer?

Has anyone been told that the role they are interviewing for will start in Jan 2023?

I am an IT architect with 10 years of experience specifically in Salesforce products. I am thinking of moving from a strategy consulting role to an architecture role in Salesforce (company) itself. I have experience building tech strategies and also technical project delivery.

Wondering if it makes sense to apply for an Enterprise Architect (pre-sales) or a Senior Technical Architect role??

Also in terms of seniority and salary are these roles any different?

I’m currently in a lease admin type role, in commercial real estate. I make a base salary of $50.5K with about $9k in bonuses. I’ve continuously received 7-10% raises over the last 3 years. I anticipate getting a promotion this year and would like to get closer to $60k for my base salary. I’m the only person in my role at the company and have been a key person in developing our team as we look to expand. Is this unreasonable? Is there a normal increase given with promotions? Thanks in advance!

Are there some in this group that are here to chat as well? I’m a married M, but wouldn’t mind a friend that’s here to chat

I applied for a Director Learning and Development (L&D) role at McKinsey about a month ago via a referral. About a week ago, my McKinsey employee (who referred me) received an automated email saying that I had moved to the pre-screening process of the recruitment process and that I'll hear from the recruiter shortly.

It's more than a week now and I haven't heard back. Can anyone shed light on the process -- what to expect, timelines, what is the interview process like, etc.

Thanks!

Looking to potentially move into a career in L&D - what are the pros and cons?

Need some benchmarks: What would average/good survey results be for a leadership skills class (instructor-led)? We ask for the participant’s experience (did you like it, would you recommend, etc.), and also send an impact survey out 2 months later to their manager (have you seen positive behavior changes since training). Our experience survey is at 92% positive and impact to behaviors is at 83% positive. Anything I can compare to in order to share the story with leadership?

Hi there! I am currently in the healthcare industry and I’m looking to make a move into the tech industry in a remote role. I’ve previously worked in tech, but under client services. I wonder if anyone has any advice on what kind of salary ranges I should be asking for. I have 13 years work experience with 2 of those in L&D, 3 degrees (BA IO Psych, BBA Marketing, MBA Strategy and Management). Thank you!

Reposting from HR bowl: I’ve heard there is a hiring boom, especially for L&D roles. I was let go recently from a toxic environment (removed the company from everything) after only 4 days of work. I’m actively job searching but not receiving ideal hits. I see a lot of senior level L&D roles but not as many for specialist roles, specifically in tech. I have 5.5 years of experience. Any advice for me? I’m also seeking therapy for the trauma & coping, now ready for securing that next role!
