Career dilemma
Hello ladies,
I would like to get your advice on a tricky situation I am in at work.
I've been an HRBP for an international company the past 3 years. I was initially suppose to take on various HR projects but most of them were aborted. Even anything related to HR administration is kept off my plate because it is "another person's job and we want to keep things centralized". Nothing other than onboarding paperwork...
I've tried to take initiative, ask for more tasks/projects, share ideas but I never get much more than a "sure let's think about it" or "the budget needed is too high". I don't believe in paying cheap just for cheap specially if it won't get us the results we need so I let it go most of the time.
Long story short I have mainly been doing talent acquisition. I now want to leave the company but my challenge is that I have a title (HRBP) but no real experience to show. Any job that matches my current skills involves a severe pay cut that I can't afford.
I don't really know how to get out of this vicious cycle of staying for the pay but not gaining any valuable experience.
I'm looking into trainings but I know that no hands-on experience is a deal breaker for most employers.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

A dream role position has landed on my plate while I’m not feeling my very best due to a health issue.
I’m okay 65-70% percent of time but lately it’s been flaring. I don’t want to lose the opportunity and feel I should at least try and do my best. I'm praying to god, to help me land this job only if its meant to be as im afraid my health “might “ affect my performance. I’m currently still going through the interview process. Would like some feedback from some mid -senior level professionals. Has anyone been in this situation before?

Opinion on secondment
I've been in my company for 9 months .
The perfect secondment opportunity came up .
My manager said to meet the secondment manager.
However, my meeting didn't go well.
I asked all the relevant questions but the secondment manager was very negative in her responses and I felt bad vibes.
The role was perfect and exactly what Ive been dreaming of .
But every question I'd ask she would be negative and say x person is tough x team will write bad reviews.
I didn't know if this was to check how i'd behave so I just twisted it positively and say how I'd adapt and help her with these challenges.
I rejected the opportunity but don't know if it's the right decision.
How do you determine if the secondment is right for you

How long should you stay in a position or company? Do you think there is a standard time?
Curious to know others thoughts on this topic. I've been hearing 2-5 years. I think there are multiple factors that determines the time such as security, money, toxic space, they love the role or company, it's not your career goal, they're bored etc
