Your secret $-$$ diner in LA County?
Hello Everyone!
I have done my bachelor's in mechanical engineering and master's in engineering management for process excellence from the uni of Glasgow and uni of Strathclyde respectively. I'm currently looking for jobs and have 2 years of running my own company. I'd be glad if anyone can help me with this and guide me accordingly. It would be ideal if I could get anything in process/operations but I'm flexible and am open to explore new areas.
Regards,
Aman

For a starting salary with a 4 year degree or any really experience, I would think this is close to fair. If you don’t have a bachelors degree I would focus on doing well and graduating in that program first and worry about the rest later. I don’t believe a degree is necessary to be successful in many HR functions, but not having one can be limiting.
Congratulations! I think it’s awesome you are starting on the path; truly before you know it you will be at $100k. You already have a job, so the point is moot, but for others in your situation, I would say apply anyway for those roles that “require” a 4 year degree, especially in HR. Sentiment is changing around the need for a 4 year degree; sometimes hiring managers forget that line is even on there — some recruiters won’t ask if it’s even necessary, or leave it on out of some sort of… i don’t know what. And congrats again!!! @Ey gave great advice, finish your program, and for from there.
I believe this a great opportunity for you. Payroll is a highly requested HR function. This will open up opportunities for you as you break into the field. You might not need a degree if you do well here. Hopefully, you’ll like it.
Well so many other jobs I saw required at least a bachelors even regardless of experience..
46k for entry level payroll is normal. If your looking to break 100k you’ll need to be a manager. Type of degree doesn’t really matter.
I had one boss several years ago who escalated to EVP of People and she didn’t have a degree (maybe she had an associates). She just retired last year and I know she was making a hundred Gs plus annually and bonuses back 20 years ago. It can be done, but, a bachelors is better - I wouldn’t have gotten my last 3 jobs without it. Even if you take your time getting it, no matter which college. In the meantime, see if your employer will pay for some certs, perhaps a PHR, if you’re up for it.
As for the specialist job and your current wage - it depends on how big the co is. That’s less than $50k annually. It seems a little low. If you get the raise in 90, That’ll be better, but ask for training/courses they pay for and grow that way if you really like the work and the co.
Yeah pretty much all of the job listings I saw said bachelors degree required. As for as this job it’s just a tiny firm made up of 4-5 people, but it’s projected to grow and get bigger by spring 2023. I guess i don’t really mind having a smaller paycheck now while I’m go back to school as long as it provides good experience in the future
This is great start but you have an opportunity to look at certificates and programs that can help increase your credibility and pay over the years. But congrats!
Is there a certain certificate you recommended?? I see there’s a few different HR ones
Payroll is a great start but if your only goal is to reach $100k you run the risk of making decisions solely on comp which can lead you into poor cultures, bad bosses and burnout. Getting a bachelors is important and MBA will make you more attractive for the higher level roles but what’s really important is finding roles within HR where you can make impact and add value. Being able to execute and market how you have executed will lead to those larger roles that come with the comp you are seeking.
I personally don't think you need your master's. Go for it if it's something you want to do. But I agree that you're learning a skill that you won't necessarily need it for. And if you move up you can pursue whatever certs they'll pay you to do. I would do your bachelors if you have the time since I think it's a great thing to have in your back pocket especially to prepare you for your internship.
With 8+ years experience I think you’ll be able to get to your goal. Payroll is such a demand. I started as a payroll clerk in 2014 and worked my way up to where I am now.
Completely normal and fair. Personally I don’t think a masters is needed, honestly. You can look into SHRM’s certification, especially if your company can pay for the fees, but you may just need some time on the job/experience before you can get certified.
Companies in my experience, do not choose someone with a degree in HR over someone with better experience. Although makes you look good as an employee that is clearly passionate, it wouldn’t be a reason would be hired over someone else. So only do it if something you feel you want accomplish.
