Thinking about long term career outlook. Currently a Manager in a HC practice at a Big 4, but most of the exits I've seen/that are in my network are more finance/ops backgrounds so not something I have the skill set for. Feel like a glorified PM with some functional experience but completely under qualified for the jobs I know others have pivoted to. Anyone had success with a similar background? Even before the market hit the shitter?

Wow this is spot on with how I’m feeling. Only difference is I worked 4 years in industry

What’s your role within HC? I’m M&A and think it’ll be easier to switch there. I feel like HR transformation might be harder. Less niche/technical.

I think change mgmt will be an easier switch to industry as well

The OCM folks have a hard time transitioning as there isn’t a lot of technical skill there, but the more strategic HC people usually find an easy path

Strategic sure... but I feel like most of my work is just the nuts and bolts of execution. Hence the PMing comment.

3-4:30 - proposal work if I have it or more job hunting

10-3am - netflix, videogames, cry myself to sleep
