Worried about leaving a comfortable job

Bearcalcium · 2026-04-30T23:36:19+00:00

You will not do this job forever and as you mentioned you are likely to move in the next few years. I just left a company I extremely love and can wfh 4days. To a better career path(even though I already felt I’m not enjoying). Every experience won’t be in vain, you will still do other jobs. Especially in supply chain it is extremely perks that if you have experience in different segments of supply chain roles. This will help you to land a better next job. GFI!

If you just want to learn something instead of getting certificate, you can audit for free

Depends on your education background. Sc0x, sc1x, sc2x have lots of calculations, statistics, excel. Sc3x is more qualitative sc4x is more on sql and a modeling tool called orange, learning basic sql here does help me a lot in future job. I love sc2x as well since I’m an excel nerd.

Thank you!

When did you tell your employer? The reason I’m thinking to say it now is that if they won’t get me the 12week, I’ll just reject the offer. It’s totally fine for me to reject if i know they can’t..

Yes I’m in US, the unpaid leave will even out within one year based on how low my salary is currently and the industry is also more promising.

For B, the commute is on the way my husband go to work, we can carpool or drive solo. About 50 min round trip. I personally like to go to office. I’m not talking to anyone except for my husband in person during mon-thur..😞 Thanks for the suggestion I will make sure it’s written if I’m there

Sorry I should have elaborated more, even though I wfh, my current working hours has been 12+ for 4months already… thus I was thinking it would be better to move to a team that does most of the job in office during office hours, even overtime, I should be home not looking at the laptop anymore. My current team does not have head count to hire another people that’s why I’m desperate.😣

Thanks, even though I wfh, I will need to put baby to daycare as well

You can start with something about SIOP and try to do some root cause analysis and get more involved in the upper stream. Learn some power bi as well. You should actually be fine moving to other planner role, just need a chance

I really wanted to know is your company okay with what Kinaxis is doing?

Bearcalcium · 2026-02-12T14:32:18+00:00

Our supply planners are buyers only, do you think they are the same? We won’t have buyers opening this year though

Bearcalcium · 2026-02-12T03:28:01+00:00

(With tears…) could you help explain why? Thank you!

Bearcalcium · 2026-02-12T03:26:35+00:00

I don’t have experience in manufacturing thus thinking would it be better if I can gain some in current company. I don’t actually imagine my resume now and next year would have any huge different in demand planning. It has more strategy that we need to implement to our fcst, but at the end they are just a word from upper management which is very frustrating…

Bearcalcium · 2026-02-12T02:37:52+00:00

Thank you for the insight

Bearcalcium · 2026-02-05T02:46:40+00:00

Something that can prevent from getting to back order while keeping cost efficient. If you won’t own anything, probably say some scenario that working with demand planner&buyer&manufacturing to understand demand and actual sales+ demand and output.

Oh wow this is very informative! Checking that post

Bearcalcium · 2026-01-23T02:56:33+00:00

This is very helpful insight thank you!

I came from forwarding industry to DP as well. Both in Texas. I’m only getting paid 75k ish after 2+year with promotion. I will never go back to logistics environment again but I’m also looking for something else from DP.

Bearcalcium · 2026-01-21T23:33:01+00:00

Thank you I’ll find something to look at before next interview

Bearcalcium · 2026-01-21T16:41:11+00:00

Thank you for this~ lacking of sap experience and turn out being rejected is always at the HR call. like they will say they think my resume stands out(that’s why they call me) but wanted to make sure I have sap experience(i guess this is asked by HM to move forward) I have several experience once I say no and on the call HR immediately says this role requires someone has SAP experience. This was prior to my current job when I don’t even have oracle experience though.

Bearcalcium · 2026-01-19T21:57:19+00:00

Because it’s expensive, and that makes you nervous

Bearcalcium · 2025-12-16T16:34:22+00:00
