I’ve been on the product development and implementation side of HRIS Technology for 14 years. I don’t think there is as much potential career growth or money in terms of being on the technology implementation-side vs. management or strategy consulting and looking to switch. Do I have it wrong?

HR tech is a big focus for a lot of organizations right now.

Having experience in implementation will be valuable, as long as you dont just do configuration (which is being migrated off shores)

Not sure what systems you know but Workday and SAP experience are always desired on resumes. If you go to work in HR/Benefits you would have a good background but I would recommend sticking with a consulting firm as working for one client can get boring, but getting HR experience for a few years could give you a more rounded resume to jump back in a few years for more pay.

Eventually, you need to figure out what do you want more - HR, IT or Consulting, you can design your direction from there.
And Oracle is getting dated, so if you want to keep doing what you’re doing get Workday trainings.

I've been doing HRIS implementations for 6 years and I've noticed something similar. A lot less respect and money because I'm "just" doing implementations as if what I do can be 100% outsourced and I'm not constantly correcting business processes and trainings and communications for people that are paid way more than I'm being paid.

From a pragmatic standpoint however, your exposure and experience in product dev and implementation is something that is present in-house and applicable in many industries, especially those that leverage HRIS. This would give you more options if you choose to exit consulting one day.

Strategy is often outsourced to consulting firms, and in-house strategy consulting is not as common. So while strategy consulting can have a nice payoff if you choose to exit as it is a coveted competence, I feel like options will be limited in this regard.

HR is checking my SP ID or GP ID which was allocated to me in the past but I don't recall it is. HR is checking this with US team and this process is taking time. If they cannot extract it due to some reason, will they release my offer letter? Please clarify this.

I’ve been at my job for a little over 5 months and I’m realizing it’s not really the best fit (mainly the product and culture).
