I'm considering investing the next 6 months part time into either SAP or Workday HCM to transition from HCM technology sales into an analyst pathway, with the eventual goal of becoming a self-employed contractor or bidding for government jobs. Can anyone provide general guidance towards which one might be the "better play?" Coming from a 10+ year background in Financial, Technical, Consultative, HRIS/HRO sales.

I am sorry but this is NOT the time to transition into IT or any other role, especially not anything in IT, and I would suggest sticking to what you are currently doing until the economy and job market improves. With the way AI is growing, there are many IT and other jobs that are going to end up being eliminated.

Hey y'all, kind of a two part question:
1. I enjoy the people management more than individual contributor stuff. What career paths do you see in our industry for people who are managing support engineering teams?
2. What certifications are valued today? Seems like being a AWS Cloud Practitioner is a good general one, but are there others that stand out?

So they continue freelancing in order to make a living, while not gaining much traction elsewhere.

I have been in Recruiting and HR for 11 years and thinking about making a career move. Ild love to hear from anyone that’s made a career move from HR to a different role.

Do you continue to see in-flight interview processes through once you’ve received and accepted an offer? It feels premature to cut the chord on the others, but also the decision between the companies becomes harder. Also afraid of the possibility to go back on the acceptance of the one role in favor of another.
