I have been in various customer service/support roles for the entirety of my career but am now interested in transitioning into a HR role. I am on the "Bench" with Disney GHRO (since March 1st) and have no idea if/when I will receive an offer. I have also been invited to interview for HR Contact Center Associate - Work from Home, ERC DLS Support at Amazon. Does anyone have any insight into either of these roles or advice? I do not yet have a degree but plan to go back this fall. Thanks.

One of my friend having 14.5lpa offer from accenture & 19lpa offer from cognizant. From job security point of view which is better?

As cognizant has 35 days bench policy.

Had a lateral interview back in January. Looked at the firm’s website and the posting was taken down. I had emailed two weeks ago, and they were still moving through the process. What do I make of it?

Any firms hiring account people in Chicago right now?

Had a final round at BCG on Friday. Feel like it went pretty well, still haven't heard back. Did I interview with the worst possible timing? Current events affecting decisions?

Hi, I've joined Accenture in April and I'm on bench and I wanted leaves for my marriage in May, whom should I get in contact with? And how much leave can I expect to be given as I need minimum 10days leave.

Hello! I have 9 years total of healthcare experience and 5 years of that I was a Residential supervisor for a brain injury rehabilitation. I don’t have a degree only college credits I’m trying to obtain a Psychology degree. I’ve been applying to countless jobs on Indeed and barely get an call backs for an interview. I’d say out of the 50 jobs I applied for I only got 4 interviews. Is anyone else extremely frustrated with being out of work? :(

My partner has, for the last 3 years, been the co-head of a business unit within an investment bank. Six months ago, the role of sole head of the business unit was advertised, interviews took place and after a lengthy process, the decision has been made to appointed my partner as the head, but no change the job grade! The reasons given are so that my partner may further upskill stakeholder management skills. Review in grading and salary in 6 months more. Is this reasonable?

how tough are client interviews at cognizant ?

Has anyone tried just not complying with RTO? I’m a C/O 2020 in a NY corporate group and my firm recently set a date for returning to office 3 days/week. I have never worked in the office since I joined, am confident that I’m capable of wfh effectively and would 100% prefer keeping it this way. Has anyone, especially corporate juniors tried negotiating with their group on wfh? Fwiw my group is suffering from heavy attrition (even my class is more than 50% gone) and I have a good reputation.

Things to consider when Joining very early stage startup <10 employees? In terms of contract, comp, getting started, role scoping, etc?

I have an opportunity to become a fractional CMO for a startup that I really like. I have no idea what to charge hourly. I’m reading online $200/hr+ but that seems crazy to me. It would be a 1099 role.

Am I underselling myself if I charge $150/hour for 10 hours of work a week? I typically charge this for my existing freelance rates, but that is not for CMO work.

Hi all! I recently finished my Masters in Biology. I worked on a few studies with human subjects as well as animal work. I am hoping to get a job in clinical research as either a CRC or CRA. I previously worked at a doctors office as a care manager for 4 years, but outside of my academic work I don’t have experience in research. What advice do you all have for entering the field in my position?
Thanks!!

For all the Google employees, what are some of the perks and policies related to the devices we get eg mobiles laptops etc. and other nice perks that you enjoy? I’m currently hired as a fully remote employee because I’m not in a position to relocate for a year or two, so it would be really good to hear about some perks you can think of for work from home situations (eg allowances etc.). Just trying to understand this aspect given so many things are simply no longer offered (and that’s fine).

How long does Natwest take to come back on interview results? It has been a week now .

I just started home care. And scheduling patients is so frustrating, they all want certain times. Some say 9 is too early. I wake up later so after 11am. I feel like quitting because it’s just too over whelming

Any Product Marketers with ADHD? How do you juggle the multiple projects with many deliverables, and also being proactive/not procrastinating when having “bad brain days”?

Hi, I recently moved to Canada for the onsite opportunity of my project but I am not at all happy with the salary paid to me because of high cost of living in Canada and I am currently having a closed work permit.
Is there anyway I can change job in this situation? If not, when can I do that?

Thanks.

I am meeting my mom for the first time after 3 years post pandemic and going to pick her up from SFO airport. Her flight lands around 6 am PST. This is my first time where I will be driving from Sunnyvale to SFO airport and back (30 miles each) and want to avoid FasTrak/Express lanes as I don't want to pay so much money. 1. Does the Google maps 'Avoid tolls' option work in this case? 2. Any tips/tricks on driving such long distances? 3. What documents should I carry with me?

Not sure if someone had faced this with TCS, but would like to share.

Before being interviewed, was asked for the base package and expected, (12 fixed, yoe 3.10), i just asked for a 30-40% hike on that.

Gave the technical interview, had a call for the HR round, where they said we cant even match your base, whats the point of having the interview even then?

Best sunglasses that are not overly flashy ?

Getting contacted by Adobe, Meta, and Google's internal recruiters, is it insane to turn them down and connect in the future? Recently started a new role at a Fortune 500 after job hopping several times and finally, can say am currently happy where I am

Any one from EY GDS PPM team. This is my first appraisal. Please let me know what will be the average hike for the new joiners? The HR gave me a 2% hike when i switched saying you will be getting hike in the appraisal cycle

Not sure if this is the right step but I’m a little desperate since I was laid off about a month ago and now finally landed a PM interview. As part of the process, i have to complete a take home assessment, which I have completed. Will it be possible for someone here to review my assessment and give feedbacks before I present it to the hiring manager so that I get all corners covered? It would be a HUGE help. Thank you!

What should I do if my boss is always late? I have to stall for him constantly

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

Has anyone bought/ done the HRCI Certificate in Diversity and Inclusion in HR Management? I already have my PHR, but I’m looking to gain more knowledge/skills and beef up my resume. Is it worth doing? The course is $239 and you get 12 Recert credits with it.

Know someone earlier in their HR career that’s looking to get certified. It’s been a while since I originally took the exams and have just recertified since. Which is more valuable or preferred these days…PHR or SHRM-CP?

Thoughts on PHR/SPHR/SHRM-CP certs? I have approximately 9 years of HR exp and my bachelors and MBA. Been debating on whether or not I need to fulfill my urge to get a certification. Wanted to get some thoughts around whether you have a similar background and opted to or opted to not get their certification? Thanks!

I’m mid-level in my HR career at my current company and an upcoming Master’s graduate. Studying for my SHRM-CP too. How did you make the transition to that next level? What skills do you need, or is it really just based on YOE (I am the youngest compared to my teammates, many who have 10+ YOE)? I feel like career pathing is not very clear at my company. Each time I ask for guidance on this from my manager, I get told they’ll look into it.... would love some external mentorship and thoughts 🙏🏼

My company currently has no employee recognition whatsoever besides rather low annual raises. Ideas on what could be implemented on a monthly/quarterly basis to boost the morale among those where pay is not the only thing that matters?

Is anyone into starting a peer resume review group off fishbowl? DM me for ideas.

Labor Law question: my husband works for a company that has a union. (Michigan-right to work state). His union has declining numbers and will likely be decertified. MI governor is considering repealing the Right To Work law. If his union is decert. before the law is repealed, and therefore there is no active union at his company, is there any impact to him if the RTW law is repealed? I think the union would have to be voted back in before employees would be forced to join. Correct?

I’m in a rather peculiar situation. I have been in the HR field going on 4 years, I have over 11 years of management experience, I got my PHR last year and I recently graduated with my MBA with a concentration in HR this month. I am ready for a more challenging role. However, there doesn’t seem to be much available at my current company. However, I am going on 5 months pregnant with the expectation of being out in October. I feel like once I mentioned my pregnancy I was in a holding pattern.

Any insights on how to dive in into Tech Recruiting? I am trying to apply for that line of business but all the postings Ive seen so far requires minimum 2 years of experience. I recent started (8 months also Contract/limited time) with new company but i’m assigned in a Retail Environment. I really did not thought that aspect before accepting the offer. All my recruiting experience are in Insurance, banking or retail/csr.

Attention HR professionals at medical device/pharma companies: will those workers who regularly visit hospitals to service equipment, give clinical instructions on product, and sell, be eligible for vaccines any time soon? I’m getting conflicting info on where these workers fall in the vaccine hierarchy, and of course every state’s rollout is different.

I’m a Senior TA Specialist for a global automotive company. Currently making $60k/year with benefits. I hold a Bachelors degree and a Masters degree with 10 plus years of HR experience and believe my market value is worth more around the $80k- $90k range than my current compensation. For negotiation purposes, would I be wrong in seeking an increase? How would I present that to senior management? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything. I was looking at both SHRM-CP and SPHR. Everyone that I have spoken to has the SHRM, but that’s also only looking at individuals in a small geographic footprint and within 3-4 different companies. I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks

Anyone work in HR for Amazon? We have a new distribution center hiring some different HR positions and I’m curious about salary? Are you willing to share? I have bachelors in HR Management, SHRM-Cp, and 5 years exp

HR generalist keeps a “DO NOT DISTURB” sign on his office door. 7 days a week for the past 4 months. Is this crazy or am I?

I've been in PeopleOps (mostly focused on TA Ops) for over 9 years now. I've somehow gotten by without a degree in HR or a certification, but would like to get some more education to continue to advance my career. What are your thoughts on PHR vs SPHR vs SHRM for someone with my years of experience and current role as a manager?
