I’m an HR Generalist. My job is a mix of recruitment and Employee Relations. I find the recruitment aspect to be pretty enjoyable and stress free, but the Employee Relations aspect does often give me a lot of anxiety (I’m a very anxious person to begin with). Recently, it’s been worse because I have several ER cases currently that seem like they could be potentially turning into lawsuits. Do others in ER experience these anxieties? If so, how do you manage them?

I have a full time remote position and currently interviewing for another remote role that requires some travel for on-site visits (I'm ok with this). I feel like the other company will make me an offer and I'm stuck on what to do. It would be about a 20% increase but I'm sure it will be more stressful, given that it involves internal auditing. I'm not sure about leaving my current company because I was promoted to this role a few months ago but I need more money. Continued in comments

Hey all, I'm a Product Manager 9 months into a Big4 consulting manager role.

I've now accepted an offer as PM at a well SaaS product company, where I will have a more hands on role, shaping the product and delivering valuable outcomes. Thoughts welcome! :)
