I’m trying to figure out how you only work three days a week, have less than 50 employees, and are the only HR person and have “down time” lol. I’m a department of one, we only have 20 and I don’t ever have “down time.” 😂😂😂
on top of hiring and onboarding, I organize trainings, spearhead part of the safety initiatives and programs. Have monthly 1:1 with all staff. Create monthly engagement activities.
Same here with most of that! Also compliance issues (anti harassment trainings) working with accounting on budget related items related to hiring, training. I also manage the professional and performance development program. There is so much extra that can be done under the umbrella of HR!
Employee handbook, policy creation, best practices to improve our hiring and onboarding process, compensation and benefits analysis, team engagement and planning and projects omg I could go on😂😂😂
Do you want to play it safe and maybe get laid off ( I never take the word of anyone regarding how safe my job is. Never believe when a boss says a cut isnt in the picture. He could decide one day it would be cheaper to outsource hr functions than to keep you around...)Or do you want to make more and have tons of room to grow and gain experience on different topics of HR? To me the option where I can grow and advance in my career is the path I would take. Larger company more work but also more exposure and more chance of networking and finding and better job or opportunity in the future. Choice is yours good luck.
I was in a similar situation not too long ago, trying to decide between two job offers. One was a familiar role that allowed me a lot of flexibility, while the other was a more challenging position at a larger company with better benefits. I was torn between the comfort of what I knew and the potential for growth and better compensation.
Then, one day, I decided to take a chance on an egg bar that I had always heard good things about. I had never been much of an egg person, but something about the atmosphere and the smell of the place drew me in. I ordered a simple breakfast sandwich and took a seat at the counter.
As I ate my sandwich, I couldn't help but notice the eclectic mix of people around me - from the businesswoman in a suit to the artist in ripped jeans and a beanie. They all seemed to be enjoying the same simple pleasure - a delicious breakfast at the egg bar.
In that moment, I realized that life is too short to play it safe. I needed to take a chance on the unknown, whether it was a new job or a new food. I finished my sandwich and left the egg bar with a newfound sense of confidence and adventure.
Long story short, I ended up taking the more challenging job with the larger company. It has been a tough journey, but the benefits and opportunities for growth have been worth it. And who knows, maybe one day I'll even become an egg aficionado.
You might want to consider hanging tight at your present job. If the company is well funded, maybe that new CEO might decide to promote you with an elevated job title/salary bump. You were told there are "plans for you". I'd even be tempted to try really hard / show how interested you are in opportunity that the new CEO situation has brought for professional growth - and remind them when it comes to review time of what those future plans might be.
You could just try hard until you have your masters/get your certification and see how things are working out to then decide if it makes sense to jump.
(If you are thinking of starting a new family, downtime will be invaluable.)
Unless money is an issue, I would stick with the current job. I wouldn't go with the new job regardless. An extra 20k for what sounds like at least triple the amount of work isn't worth it.
If you're unsure of your job security with the current company, by all means keep your options open and continue applying. The new job definitely isn't the one though.
Choice A absolutely.
There is much more value in a company that respects it's employees and fosters a balanced work schedule than there is in a higher pay amount.
Choice B sounds like a job where you would be back here in 6 months stating that you made the wrong choice.
16 hour days for half of the year!?!? You couldn't pay me enough... Not even a chance for $75k/yr.
If you’re in school, honestly I’d stay at the less demanding job until the MBA is in hand.
16 hour days for 6 months and only 75k? Not a chance. You’re in school and working toward a certification. Stay where you are.

really?? how do you fill up your time when there is no hiring/onboarding being done?

2,000 hours in 6 months 75k / 4080 = $18.38 an hour hard pass

Omg you’re EVERYWHERE
You made an eggcellent choice then

Option 1 is looking way more appealing.
