I’m very early in my career but I really want to leave media. I love film and television but I don’t think I’m cut out for it (I’ve been on a toxic team for the past year and it has me doubting myself). What should I do? Why do people love this industry?

Switching to media/comms strategy -> creative/brand strategy would be most linear path out of media without completely changing industry and retaining some of acquired skill set

Just leave. No stability here

Are you wary of staying in the industry/position, or staying with that team? Maybe think about what it is exactly that is making you doubtful. Would you enjoy the work if the team was different?

Option-
~ financial domain (principal, Barclays , ubs)
~ telecommunication (Netcracker,comviva)
~ healthcare (varian by seimens , eClinicalworks)
~ Automobile (john deere , daimler trucks)
~ Automobile parts (shell , bosch )
pls mention benefits of each domain

Hi! I'm new here so I'm not sure if this topic has been discussed before (if so, please excuse me). I've always wanted to pursue an MBA after gaining sufficient work experience, but now I'm really split between whether to pursue an MBA (and if it's worth the money) or to pursue another MSc instead. I hope I can gain some insights from the community here. Thank you!

Hi all!
Would love some insight on how you went from an HR assistant/coordinator to an HR Generalist. I’ve been in the HR world for 8 years, and only in the last 2-3 have I really done real HR work. The first company I was at didn’t have a solid HR team so I don’t really count that. I feel like I’m ready to take on more responsibility and learn more. And of course make more money.

I have looked into getting SHRM certification. But should I go back to school and get my masters in Hr?

Was talking to a recruiter today and when she asked about my desired compensation I told her a minimum of $80k since it is already below the average for a Financial Analyst in nyc. Recruiter then asks me why do I think I deserve that amount. I was taken aback because I thought that is very fair for someone with experience in the field already and have a few years of relevant experience as well. Am I tripping or was that condescending? She then tries to low-ball me to $70k 😐.
