Hi, seeking advice / networking with people on my long-term career goals (continued)

Posting as :

I currently am an implementation consultant (Workday) and I plan to stay in this arena for the next 2-3 years. I started out in HR (2 years), then switched to implementation work and have been doing that for the last 1.5 years. I’m trying to understand what my options are once I exit. I am interested in HR transformation, change management, HRIS leadership, or possibly product management roles. I do NOT want to end up as an HRIS analyst, bc that’s basically the job I had when I worked in HR. I realize that my interests are a wide reach, which is why I am going to stay in my current field for 2-3 years before I move on. I was wondering if anyone here has made the exit or know anyone that they could connect me with. DM me or comment if you have any advice to share - thanks in advance.

EDIT: I’m in NYC and in my late 20s if it matters. I’m even open to understanding if there’s certain things I should do while I’m still in consulting to best prepare for my next role (classes, meetups, self-study, etc)

If you don’t have an MBA, consider doing so. That will give you broader perspective and marketability. If you are interested in the change management route, there are some good certifications you can consider. DM me if you are interested in learning more about going down that road. You have a good foundation to work with and an exit to industry could be a good move for you to step away from Workday.

There are 100+ illustrations like this in my hallway because an English teacher thought it would be clever to use "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" to teach imagery. I can't imagine too many more succinctly effective ways to misrepresent God than this. Since I have a tendency to just jump straight to what someone has done wrong and how they need to fix it immediately, what would you say?

EY PAS said that they can’t offer more than 115k for senior associate in Chicago. I find that ridiculously low since accenture t&o is offering people 140k to join as a consultant. It is from my understating that ey associate is equal to analyst and sr analyst at Accenture. Then senior associate is equal to consultant/ sr consultant. What am i missing here?
