Workday implementation—where do I go from here?
I'm looking for some career advice from people who work in the Workday ecosystem.
My background is in public health, but a little over two years ago I took a contract on a healthcare Workday implementation without knowing much about Workday. It ended up completely changing my career.
Since then, all of my experience has been on the client side of healthcare Workday implementations. I've worked as a Business Analyst, Project Coordinator, and now a Project Manager. I've supported vendor integrations, testing, cutover, go-live, cross-functional coordination, and other implementation activities. I also have one Workday certification.
I'm trying to figure out what the best next step is. Should I:
Stay on the client side and continue building project management experience?
Try to move into consulting (Deloitte, Accenture, KPMG, etc.)?
Specialize in a functional area?
Pursue more Workday certifications
I enjoy implementation work, but I'm not sure what the best long-term career path is from where I am today. For those of you who've been in the Workday ecosystem for a while, what would you recommend?
What would you do if you were in my position?
