As an experienced, SHRM certified HRBP , I would just like some feedback on your opinion of the differences in the roles between an HRBP an HR Manager besides the obvious that the manager should have direct reports.

I am quite aware of our HR code that salary is confidential but I was told about this. Would you be looking for other employment? Or stay?
