Job hunting this year has been terrible. Has anyone noticed the trend of HR Salaries being lowered while operations at the same level are increasing? Then you have all these high COLA areas trying to pay less than Midwest States. Really feel like hanging my hat up on HR and leaving the profession in the dust.

I honestly completely understand you on this! I have been feeling very underpaid at my current company for the amount of work, but they have been laying people off left and right. So it doesn't seem like the right time to ask for a raise.

I'm with you OP, I've been thinking about getting into consulting. Just don't know where to start.

Consulting has been great for the past few years until the economy tanked. Now finding gigs or permanent work is pretty rough.

Maybe try a different industry

To an extent- the laws are where things are the same - policies are different from one industry to another. I think your skills will be of value to other industries- I’d say give it a try! Especially in this market now things will work in your favor.

I get the perspective of team unity, but is it wrong to feel there is no reason to risk my health? The company justifies increasing my covid risk (high-risk already) to “show face”, when my job is being fulfilled while WFH. Am I crazy?

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing. Had a very successful interview with Amazon but recruiter is working hard trying to place me and said there’s no knowing how long to find a team. Meanwhile I just received a Director offer for a company with a 29% pay bump July 1. If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?
