A couple years ago I went back to school (in addition to working) to finish my bachelors in HR Management. As I'm nearing the end, I'm considering an MBA program however I'm rather exhausted and burnt out.
I'm curious as to other professional HR opinions - is it enough to have to HR degree and the PHR/SPHR certification (and some level of experience in operations) if a person wants to eventually move into a senior level position? Or is an MBA the new norm and standard?

As I'm seeking out new opportunities myself, it seems as though Senior Director and above desires a MBA (or some type of advanced degree) or to have 15-20 years of experience one.

An MBA is also a great because it helps to make you stand out above the competition (and there's a lot of competition these days!).

Just read an article about a woman who told a little white lie in salary negotiation. When she was offered a new job, she said she made $5,000 more at her old job than she actually did. The offered to match her salary, but she said, "I'd like to be making more," and so they came back and said they'd give her $5,000 more, so her new job is $10K more than her old one. $10K is an avg salary jump, but I love this tactic. Do you think it's okay though to say such a lie?

I guess there are varied opinions regarding this matter but in order not to get in trouble this article advised to simply say that you are not comfortable discussing your financial history. That is why you are "negotiating", you want what is financially sound to what you are taking in especially if it is something different from your current job.

I am working on a presentation on Generation Y and HRM and wondered why did you or why do you think members of Gen Y choose to study or persue HRM as a potential career path? Personal experience welcomed!

HR is no longer looked at as an “administrative” position but one instead where you are a part of strategic planning. It also has all the makings of a great career for a Gen Y including the ever changing employment law which satisfies our need for continuous learning.
