I'm currently reviewing my career and would like to consider available options.
My first degree was a BSc in Industrial Economics. I've been working in HR line since I graduated 10 years ago. I'm currently working for a Fortune 500 companies, with international operations in more than 30 countries and employees of more than 20,000.
I've covered most areas of HR (HR planning & recruitment, development, remuneration, industrial relations, HRIS) and worked for subsidiaries of various sizes and industries. My current assignment is with the Corporate office, in the area of HRD. I've also been assessed for HR Professional by an international consultant and is qualified to be at Staff level, in the area of specialization of job design / analysis.
I intend to pursue my postgrad in MBA, specializing in Strategic Management soon.
I would like to know if anyone has any ideas on my career options especially after my MBA.
Thanks.

sound experience, you should spend time with leading consulting

In career planning ,

-keep options as wide as you can manage,

-balance between visual positions and money you want to earn

-if you are planning for consultant career, keep a wide base

initially to increase your earning opportunity.

-opportunities don't come to you, they pass by and you need

to stretch out / grab your chances.

HOPE THIS IS USEFUL TO YOU,

Thanks Leo.
Since I've just moved to the Corporate HRD few months back, I might stay around for maybe 2 more years, until I complete my MBA. Was thinking that my next move could either be to the Corporate Strategic Planning or the HR Planning for a business sector of choice. Both will give the strategic role experience, except that in the latter, it's more focussed to a particular business that is competing globally.
Good day.
