Hi! Anyone taken SHRM-CP exam recently and have any tips on studying or taking the exam? TIA.

My local SHRM group had a study group of people taking it in the same period. They used to have mock tests to take on the SHRM page too. There was a small fee but I did them close to the test period and thought it prepared me well for what the test was like.

Thanks. Where can I find mock tests?

I took and passed SHRM-SCP in January. Passing the test is all about doing as many practice exams as you possibly can. The SHRM LMS is the very best tool for this.

Send me a note if you’d be interested in chatting through some other recommendations - I’m happy to lend a hand!

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years. My TC has fluctuated (currently around 135K CAD), but it seems like it's relatively easy to breach the 100K bar, but hard to breach the 150K bar. I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.
