PHR vs SHRM vs AIRS? Which one should I pursue?
I have 6 yrs of HR exp, a PHR cert & an HRIP cert. I recently left my role as an HR Rep at a tech co b/c I was working 60+/week and the stress of the job was affecting my health. I recently received an offer at a new tech co that is $10k less than what I was previously making with comments from current EEs that this new co has a better WLB. Total comp is still a lot less than my prev company. Is less comp too much of a compromise for better WLB? What have you compromised for a better WLB?

I’ll go against the grain here. Of course experience is ultimately more important. But having a SPHR is still a differentiator, and the later you are in your HR career, the more likely your peers will have the SPHR instead of the PHR, SHRM-SCP instead of the SHRM-CP, etc.
The added value of having the ‘Senior’ in front of the certification is marginal, but the value is still there. Only you can decide whether it’s worth your time and money spent.
I spoke to 2 recruiters who specialize in HR this week and their feedback was that companies value the experience more than the certification. Although it’s good to have, what weighs more is the experience
