Career advice please
I have 3.4 years of work ex in a different domain and now I wish to switch to HR. Quit my job recently and took a break initially. Today I received an offer for an HR internship. However, If I start again from scratch, then I might be earning less. My younger sister who just started her career in HR few months back has a permanent job and I have an internship. It would take me a long time to earn a decent amount.
How should I plan my transition now, any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
I also thought to prepare for cat and pursue mba degree, however these top colleges charge way too high fees. My mother is a single parent and I wish to earn instead of leaving my internship/job and pursue mba for two years.
Any insights here would be greatly appreciated, I'm very tensed.
Thanks :)
If you are a women, then its fine. If you are a man, don't. its a dead end domain.
If you google, about the roles and responsibility of a HR, you will get to read about how HR " builds core competency", " change management", "work Culture", and all other fancy words. But in real life, the HR department has about 1 or 2 people in the top who does all the important work - because these are all strategic in nature, pursued/evaluated once a year. The rest of the team do the drudgery work - clerical stuff.
Not that i demean what they do, what they do is needed to run the company. But for men, we need a little stress at our work or we will be bored. Of course i cant speak for all men, but from what i have seen, men get bored soon if their daily job is to discuss the rangoli colors for the day.
Interesting to see that people still assume HR's just make rangoli's. Anyhow, thank you for your insights.
