Workday is incredibly in demand. It’s a very smart move to get certified and common for people to move from training into implementer roles if they like it and do well

I work in financial management and have worked on workday implementation teams from a strategy / process role, very impressive system. I am not certified and it was just 2 projects, mostly do carve outs.

Also, how does one figure out these trends? Just having an ear to the ground? Thank you!

@BA1 Why do you say that? What would you do instead?

@D1 I’ve spent 2 years trying to switch, but D really wants me in change management! Sigh

Have any of you actually used Workday? BA1 is right, it's one of the worst designed pieces of software I've used recently. Why would you want to align yourself to such a piece of crap that users actively loathe using?

Terrible

It's all looks and not much under the covers. I work in the HR space and it's not able to handle even medium sized implementations well. The continue to promise more robust functionality and hide behind no database, which is a crock.

Change management will be in demand forever. Workday is hot just right now

Hello,

Long time fishbowl lurker, first time poster.

I work in Healthcare consulting (8 yoe). I'm incredibly passionate about Healthcare and have thought a lot about how to make meaningful changes that keep people healthy and how it can be affordable and accessible to all. I know Google has been operating in the Healthcare market. Anyone here open to connect so I can learn more about its current activities/future plans? I'd like to see if there's a role that I'd be a good fit for.

Thank you!

Team just applied for a TS Clearance (defense agency). Trying to assess if it makes sense to wait till the clearance comes through (6 months to a year?) before I job hop. I'm hoping to get some clarity on the following:
1. Can my company withdraw or cancel my clearance if I leave right after I secure a TS?
2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!
