Every time I evaluate where I am, I realize I’ve run some three hundred miles in the wrong direction in this marathon and I have to realign.
So I’d say about an 8 or a 9 out of 10 all in all.

Very true, and wise—Chesterton wrote something similar.
Rewarding as the exercise might be, it can be quite exhausting nonetheless.

10 honestly, it was a 2/3 when I first started. Then I got on a great project with a great manager, I gained confidence, I grew up a little, I built a better reputation (my first year I literally slept through several meetings 😅🤡), and I turned things around through learning, working, and being consistent.

I started traveling for work, I’ve been at the same client in various projects for 18 months, I got early promoted to senior last year, and I love my current team. I find the work interesting (and exciting in a nerdy way), I’m learning a TON, I’ve built some skills and gotten to flex a bit, and my work life balance is amazing even though I sometimes work west coast hours.

I’m really happy with where I am, and I don’t want to progress to manager for a good while. I love being an individual contributor with no team oversight or responsibility… but like an individual contributor who knows her shit. Lol.

Hello! I’m currently a Administrative assistant now working at a major medical system in Baltimore. I’ve previously worked for 10 years as a medical assistant in a variety of specialties and primary care. Lately, I’ve been feeling a bit stuck as to my next step. Part of me want to go into management, another part is saying go get your RN, and the other is saying go into Social Work. I’m all over the place. Any ideas? And how would I be able to cross over to management?

I'm at an early stage tech start up and gaining experience in an industry that I like. However, I am getting no formal training or sales coaching. Everything I've done so far (Inc.

Hi all!
Would love some insight on how you went from an HR assistant/coordinator to an HR Generalist. I’ve been in the HR world for 8 years, and only in the last 2-3 have I really done real HR work. The first company I was at didn’t have a solid HR team so I don’t really count that. I feel like I’m ready to take on more responsibility and learn more. And of course make more money.

I have looked into getting SHRM certification. But should I go back to school and get my masters in Hr?
