I’m loving my new job as a staff accountant! Everything is consistent and repetitive. Call me boring but this is exactly what I wanted in a job . I’m coming from banking, a client facing role that was literally unpredictable every second. So I’m loving this new role!

I go back and forth with wanting that some days. I like the everyday is something new but there’s something enticing about routine.

Good for you. I started as an auditor and felt the same way until I did the same task for the fifth or so time

I’m sure I’ll get bored eventually lol but for now I do like the consistency & the technical experience I’m gaining compared to being a banker.

I get it. Its good to have a rhythm and get into the groove. If you get bored, feel free to move around and get a different role. Enjoy it while you feel like its good for you.

Nice! Congratulations! Actually I'm also okay with repetitive job/task. At least that way, I can really master a particular skill.

That's true. It's still good to have a solid grasp of at least one skill.

Oh my! I found my groupmate here. Lol. This is the reason why I love office work because it's so repetitive. Customer service is one of the hardest jobs out there ever! Facing customers and clients with unpredictable behavior. Had to cry sometimes with exhaustion. But now, doing behind the desk task is all I need.

Like they know better but came to you for help. Terrible feeling like you are being defeated without even giving a good fight. Because as what they, customer is always right. Whoever invented that saying should know the terrible consequences of his language. Lol.

Thank you!

This is what I’m trying to do! I’m so exhausted by the customer facing role I am in at the bank. How did you make the transition?

First time poster here!

After spending 4 years as a mid-level ops manager, I tried to break into HR through talent acquisition. Now after 6 years in TA, I've had a hard time getting out of it. My goal was always to get into a more broad HRBP position, but I've since worked for smaller orgs without a solid HR career path. When I ask about my career goals, they keep telling me, "Soon!" Or "Maybe in 6 months!"

I'm testing SPHR in June. Any advice for securing the type of role I'm aiming for?
