I think it’s easy to get in a rut in your current client project or practice and plateau in learning. So for this year, I’m prioritizing self learning and would love any insights or advice you have on the following related to strategy consulting (or life in general!):

1. Best book recommendations
2. Best external trainings that are market relevant
3. Anything else that has personally made you sharper

Anyone else starting to sort of... adjust? I feel like I hit a turning point in early June where I started to accept this as the new “normal” and my mental health improved a lot. Looking back, the negative comments (even joking) I was sharing with friends a few months ago seem a little toxic now. Maybe we can be okay?

I just got laid off, and I’m not even mad about the job, but they literally didn’t even tell my CD before they let me go, then asked me not to tell anyone before they announced it to the network. I’m sorry, but on what planet am I not hanging up from that call and immediately calling my CD? Which is exactly what I did. They locked me out of my computer so I couldn’t even pass off files, plus it locked me out MID-call where I was being let go. Very professional. Also, my CCO didn’t even know. 🖕🏻

I’m stuck in a weird situation with my job search and am wondering if anyone else has encountered this and how you dealt with it. I’m an associate at the law firm where I was a summer associate and otherwise have spent the entirety of my legal career, but I’m ready to make a move. Job postings ask me to list three references, and this is where I’m stuck. If I list partners at my firm, they’ll know I’m looking for a new job. Managers at my internships and prior jobs have all moved on (continued)

What does it mean when you apply to a bunch of jobs for which I am a good fit and you hear nothing back for these jobs? For some applications, I'm approaching two weeks since submission. I did get a call back to the first position I applied to; however, after the lab manager saw how much experience I had he said to release me, far too overqualified, tell him he should be applying to Senior Research Associate positions. I have ten years lab experience.

I’m regularly told that they’re exceeding expectations but then they get reviews that say they’re meeting expectations on a team full of people that do way less than they do? I’ve actually been told that if there was something between meets and exceeds…I’d get that…but there not, so I get the same average performer raise, recognition, etc.

Does anyone have any recommendations on introducing OKR’s and how to measure and track metrics or progress?

I work for startup tech co. that was recently integrated with a larger similar employer. For 5 years I’ve been a contract 1099 employee salary range about $30k annually. My employer would like to offer me a managerial position yet still a 1099, however would like to offer compensation/bonuses to weigh out the fact that they are not providing any health ins, benefits or tax garnishments. I have zero tax write offs as a 1099 just for reference. What salary range should I be asking for?

What is the SHRM and is it even worth it to get?

I hired my recruiter 8 months ago, and yesterday was his last day. He put in his notice to work for his parents’ business. I’m so happy for him and extremely grateful for his hard-work. He was the most talented DR I managed in my career so I’m feeling sadder than I normally would about a resignation. When great people leave your team, how do you cope?

New fish looking for career guidance.

I'm a corporate recruiter with 3 years of experience. Finishing my degree in HRM 5/2022. I'm thinking of getting my SHRM -CP shortly after graduation.

I'm not sure of where to go after that, but I doubt I will stick with recruiting or my current firm.

Has anyone here started off in recruiting and branched out to other HR functions? Do you like your new role? Do you wish you stuck with recruiting?

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything. I was looking at both SHRM-CP and SPHR. Everyone that I have spoken to has the SHRM, but that’s also only looking at individuals in a small geographic footprint and within 3-4 different companies. I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks

Any kind hearted HR professional from KPMG Canada could refer me for an entry level talent acquisition role?
Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,
So I’ve always had a rough time trying to find what role titles I would be a good fit to apply to given that my career growth has been so peculiar (HR assistant at hotel, Operations Manager at hotel, seller support at Amazon, customer experience coordinator at an IT company, talent acquisition specialist at a health org)
In those roles I normally took more in my plate than the typical role requires (hr functions, data analysis, etc)
With 6-7 years if exp what role should I look?

What type of job boards ninche or not do you find to be the most useful for the talent you hire and what type of roles are they best for?

Thoughts on PHR/SPHR/SHRM-CP certs? I have approximately 9 years of HR exp and my bachelors and MBA. Been debating on whether or not I need to fulfill my urge to get a certification. Wanted to get some thoughts around whether you have a similar background and opted to or opted to not get their certification? Thanks!

I had an offer from a startup as a tech recruiter. They mentioned in my offer I will be eligible for bonuses and will be organized by the CEO in the first 3 months. I get my actual contract and there is no mention of a bonus structure. I asked them about it and they said it has to be developed with the hr manager, who will be on-boarded to the team in two weeks.

Does this seem right to anyone ?
