How do you decide when to switch industries for better pay. I was making $85K in nonprofit data analytics, and it felt like a ceiling. I moved into healthcare analytics last year, same skills, different sector, and I’m now at $122K. It’s not about selling out, it’s about pricing your expertise in the right market.

I defintely agree with you. I have been thinking about doing this myself. I just know I could be making six figures doing something else.

I think at the end of the day you have to do what is right for you. You did your time in a nonprofit so now you deserve to make some more money. Don’t let anyone make you feel bad about your decision.

I totally agree; it's all about recognizing your worth in the right market. I think it’s important to evaluate the potential for growth and pay in different industries. Sometimes, a shift can really pay off, just like it did for you!

interesting take! I definitely agree the sector changes make a big difference. I think the same can be said for switching out of healthcare into technology

I have US and Can. HR designations and about 3 yrs in HR in Canada. I'm currently in a process improvement role in healthcare, but really want to work in HR.

I may have the opportunity to work in a quality lead role with my current employer, but I plan to move back to the states in the next few years and want to stay marketable. I'm searching fervently for remote HR roles that may also offer US experience. I'd appreciate your thoughts!
