I’m starting to feel like I’m my coworkers retirement plan in a sense lol. All she talks about is retirement in the next two-three years and how she’s happy I’m here to transition into her role.. which I do not want! I really want to get into more DEI roles but I am unsure if I’ve spent too much time in tech type roles to transition into DEI. Any tips?

What's the role? If it's management that opens up a lot of opportunity for you.

What does DEI mean?

I wouldn't stress about it, you don't owe anyone anything and there will always be someone else to do the job.

I think (Senior Analyst) has a point though.. even if you don’t fully want her role, it might be good to do it for a bit to get management experience as I feel that will look good for an HR position like the one you want. I also think you can probably get a DEI position without it so I would say apply to DEI when you’re ready and if you see you’re not getting the jobs because of lack of experience then maybe you should take advantage of this opportunity for a bit first!
