*sigh* Will I ever find a company that cares about HR professional development as much as the employees’ we help? Getting sick of hearing about how development is so important to the company (often during orientation) but when I ask to attend a conference or get a certification, it’s crickets! I have more education/experience than most of the people we ‘serve.’

What’s the passing rate for CISA? I’m taking mines soon and I don’t do well on standardized tests like this. I don’t want to feel dumb if I don’t pass the first time :(

I am looking to gain certification or other credentialing in diversity and inclusion, not only because it would look good on my resume both for future job-search purposes and also to become better educated in this area, which is growing in importance. I looked at SHRM's "Inclusive Workplace Culture Specialty Credential" and got a bit of "sticker shock" at the cost - $1,655.00 for members. Does anyone have other suggestions on training/credentialing in this area?

I’m in tech consulting but truly a generalist since I’ve been on a wide array of projects and IMO I have no discernible skills. I want to find a different job soon. I’m sick of consulting and the asshole clients - but I feel like I have no options! I hear I can go industry, but I’m not sure what that would look like for me. Anyone made a career move out of consulting? Tips? What did/does it look like for you?

Hi - I need some advice on how to approach a situation with my manager. I have a disability (autoimmune condition) which leaves me completely exhausted and full of brain fog some days. My manager mentioned time management and I’m afraid she’s concerned I may not be managing my time effectively. I am on track for my deadlines, but some days I do seem to disappear and am less productive due to the brain fog. I have not informed my manager my manager of my disability but want to communicate this to

Hi, my status changed from F1 to H1B last October. The I797 has the new I94 and it’s validity as well. Does this I94 get reflected in the I94 site? Or do we only use the I797 as the validity of our status and of the I94 itself.

Any agencies willing to work with an art-based CD/ACD on a W8-BEN? I’ll be returning to the US later in the year as I already have an O1 visa but because I’m outside the US the IRS stipulates I use a W8 (it’s the same thing as a W9 situation, the only difference is that they are US based workers) Already contracted with a few agencies, its totally legal and simple. Worked at some good US shops over the 5 years and understand the market well. DM me for details.

Always get really stressed out when I know I might be in the bench. Have only been on the bench for a total of two weeks this past year. Irrational?

Hi EY moms - question on parental leave. Have folks successfully used the family/dependent care to increase their overall leave? I was told by the leave team that those are “personal healthcare days” to be used for a “parent, self of child” and can’t be used for maternity leave. This doesn’t seem to line up with the written policy. (I’m splitting up the FMLA and 10 week leave, to use some accrued vacation in the middle, and wanted to add a few of those family care days.) Thanks!

Which one would you choose? Getting a green card immediately or a promotion in Deloitte?
