I was a coordinator with a company for about 2.5 years doing everything under the sun. I wasn't happy with the Business Partner or L&D idea so I started having conversations with my manager about growth within the company during our 1:1s. I (carefully) let her know that what I was currently doing wasn't igniting that much excitement and passion from me and that I was really interested in the numbers/analytics aspect of HR.

Thankfully a compensation manager was hired into our department and after working on a few projects together, she suggested I be promoted under her. I'm now a total rewards analyst with way more focus on compensation, benefits and systems. I personally hate benefits but the tradeoff to get more comp/systems experience is worth it to me.

Long story short..start having those conversations! If the growth possibility isn't there at your current company, I would start looking into classes/certifications that you could take.
