I’m looking for advice from fellow HR professionals. I moved from traditional HR into consulting with Deloitte and spent about a year there, but realized it wasn’t the right fit. For the past five years, I’ve been working as an independent HR consultant. Now I’m interested in returning to an in-house HR role, but the transition has been more challenging than expected. For those who’ve made a similar move back to corporate HR, what strategies helped you reposition your experience and stand out?

I have seen this transition be harder than expected. In house teams sometimes view consulting as a flight risk. I would frame your experience as depth, pragmatism, and calm under ambiguity rather than independence alone.

Hi Fishes,
I've been offered for Engineering expert position at Novartis India. I've received offer letter 2 weeks back and my DOJ is updated to Mid December. I told the HR that my current company's last working day is on mid January and resend the offer letter with mid Jan as my DOJ. But they told that they can send the revised offer letter 3 weeks before the joining date.
Is this normal process? Has anyone gone through similar experience?

Hello Fishes,

I need some advice regarding this situation and what to do. So I work for a company that offers outsourcing services to major investment banks around the world. I have been working for a new client for about six months now and they seem to like my work so far. Recently I saw that they're hiring to get people on their team at my level. My question is, should I talk to my client and try to pursue them to consider me for the role they're hiring for?
