Hello! New to Fishbowl! I am looking for a mentor. I was a stay at home mom and have decided to return to the workforce after my divorce. I am currently a TA but I desire to move into HRIS. I am currently working for a start-up e-commerce logistics company. Accepted the offer in efforts to “get my foot in the door” but I feel like I’m grossly underpaid and unfulfilled bc I didn’t know how to leverage my skills. So I’m looking for guidance on how to make this transition. Thanks in advance!
