I am a career changer on mo 4 of a 6 mo sourcer/researcher contract that I’m not sure will be renewed due to team re-organizing. I have 5 YOE basically in an HR generalist role at a company that didn’t have an official HR function, building systems from the ground up. I also have my SHRM-CP. I am looking for a perm, remote HR generalist or program manager position and getting no traction despite a well-reviewed resume. What do I do? Should I go to grad school?

Anyone else in ATL? We had the highest inflation increase of any city in the nation last year and COL is way up. My rent is now more than it was in DC. Anyone seeing COL adjustments? F20 not FAANG.

Is now a good moment to invest (bc of inflation etc)? I have invested a bit over the past years and lost a lit of money- obviously these are long term investments so i hope it will get better over the next monthy/years.
But I’m wondering if I should keep investing now 🤔 any advice much appreciated 🙏
