I'm considering a jump to a FAANG HR Business Partner position. Hoping to get advice from the fishes. My real passion is corporate strategy, but I've done a ton of work with HR over the years, and a good amount of client coaching and training. Would this hurt my chances of going back to corporate strategy later? Is it worth the risk to get into a FAANG?

Are you doing this because you think it will be easier to get into FAANG, or do you genuinely want to switch career paths?

It's more money, significant RSUs, and it's negligible travel (if/when we return to normalcy). From my perspective it isn't really a career shift since I've been doing the same work in consulting throughout the years, it's just that I won't have an corporate strategy projects anymore.

I’d go for it - you’ll have more well-rounded experience in operations that will be applicable if/when you make the jump to internal Corp strategy.

OP did you make a decision? Any perspective to add for those looking at HRBP?

Good evening all,
With my partner we are considering making a move to the countryside of Switzerland, with a gorgeous RE project offering incredible views on immaculate mountains and lake. However, it is far away, and will require 1h+ train/car commute vs. 10 min biking right now. We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?

Still trying to figure out this whole Fishbowl thing, so here goes my first post.

I would love to get into provider credentialing, but all employers I've looked at want at least 3 years of experience. So, I'm looking at Provider Network Coordinator roles, because I'm finding some of those roles don't need AS MUCH experience. I'm a RHIT, and have been working in healthcare for nearly 10 years.

Any input on employers is appreciated!
