Any HR professionals here?
Are there any HR professionals here? I'm really interested to hear how other HR professionals are feeling juggling work and family life, and whether they are happy in their profession?
I work as an HRBP and have been at my current workplace for over 6 years. I hate it and I didn't want to return after MAT leave, but we need the money and I didn't want to spend my last few months attending interviews etc - I wanted to enjoy my time with my children.
Since returning, I have lost the passion and enthusiasm for my role. I can't put my finger on whether this is the job, workplace, or something else.
I've just been offered a new role as an HRA at a different company. I was initially really excited as it felt like something I'd enjoy, but now I'm doubting my decision and whether I should look for a new profession instead.
I was looking for HRA jobs alongside HRBP jobs, but I was hoping there might be a relief in respect of responsibilities and pressure in an HRA role.
What have others in this profession found in their experience? This is part venting/part information seeking.
Thank you if you made it this far!

I work in HR and venting is necessary. We deal with everyone else’s feelings, trauma, drama - but rarely have the right support for our own! Never feel bad about having a moan. Happy to chat / connect.
Likewise - I work in HR too but I think it’s also super normal to not feel as connected to work anymore. I loved my job but since going back I’m finding the juggle really hard! Happy to chat if you need someone to vent to! X
I work in HR too and feel like this. I found the transition hard for returning to work I feel like we as HR get very little support ourselves.
I'm a HRA but i think there can be difficult being in the middle i have to pick up a lot for the People partner in my business so have a lot of the stress and responsibility without the title and extra money x
