I'm thinking of moving from recruiting to an HR Generalist role. I've got the people skills down, but the legal and compliance stuff makes me nervous. Will I need to get an SHRM or take specific classes to get hired, or can I just learn all that other stuff on the job?

It probably depends on the company. Large, highly regulated orgs are more likely to want SHRM or prior generalist experience. Startups and mid-sized companies tend to value transferable skills and practical judgment over credentials.

Had a miscarriage.. it’s my 1st baby and we didn’t find out until 12 weeks (via ultrasound) that the baby passed away at 9 weeks and had to get a dnc. My body is still recovering.. Just want some hope or I guess stories of success after having a miscarriage. I do have pcos so it’s harder for me to get pregnant.. but it still happened. Anyone have any thoughts or advice? Does it get better..?
