[query] Is it a good idea to say a firm No due to medical reasons to a new night shift project I'm hired in?Accenture
I recently got a night shift project (2 days ago) that requires me to work from 10:30pm till 7:30am
I'm not comfortable with these timings and I'm thinking to ask my manager to put me on Bench (Due to medical reasons that involve mental health)
Is it a nice idea to say a firm No to a new project I'm hardlocked into, due to night shifts?
I have been reading a few articles talking about how FAANG isn’t as lavish as it used to be. My first question is if that is true? If it is true, my second question is what companies out there have the pay, benefits, and perks like FAANG? My last question is if it is as difficult to get into those companies?

It's tough transitioning industries right now. I would encourage you to have a lot of really great keywords in your résumé that speak to your transferable skills, and a cover letter explaining why you want to make the transition to HR. Hopefully that should help!
Thank you, I have updated my resume with HR transferable skills as my keywords, Hopefully I get a few hits.
Thank you again!
Leverage the experience you already have and how that should fill some of the years of experience that roles are looking for. Nonprofits and volunteer organizations can be a good way to get some HR specific experience.
Thank you for your response, I am thinking about getting more information in contracting/consulting focusing in HR.
Right now is a particularly tough time - but contracts in: Learning and Development, Conflict Management, Manager Coaching or Process Improvement from an ops perspective might get you in the door somewhere.
I left sales into a junior HR role, and it took a while but I'm now in a senior benefits roles and have gotten a lot of experience. My big sell was being able to learn, highlighting all my transferable skills and having a people-first attitude.
Health tech is big right now, and I know a lot of companies are looking for Benefits, L&D, or Training/Conflict Management professionals. The other options is doing consulting work based on your skills but focused in HR, to gain experience.
If all else fails, network with HR people - they always have an in on job openings and it's amazing who know who; and how they can get you connected to the right people!
Good luck! :)
Of course - more than happy to help :) you got this!!
