Hello,
Choosing a new employer is always a tricky affair.
Your reason to look for another job is your feeling of being dominated/ignored in the present company. And you are tempted to join a mfg company as it offers two incentives-much higher emoluments and an opportunity to quit present job.
The way you need to look at the situation is:
- Have I done enough to make peace, establish myself, harmonize relations etc. Here the number of efforts do not matter. If you are satisfied with the inputs that you have given to the situation so far to establish in the present job is all that should count. If your answer is YES, you have a few other issues to consider viz: Am I equipped to handly new resoponsibilities? Are the new people(management) patient enough to wait for results. Are they themselves clear about what they want from a new HR person? Often people use all the right words wothout understanding one bit!!
- In the new company structure, as I understand from your mail, you will be the head and will have to be establishing the HR function there. That means you need answers to all the questions that may/will come up from time to time.
- In your situation, I feel you need to work under a good senior in an establised company, learn the tricks of the trade (as it were), get solid foundational experience in the function before you venture to fly solo!
- Often an effective "dialogue" with seniors and superiors is able to resolve a lot of matters.
But you now your situation the best. None can and should sit in judgement on your situation. All that I felt is that unless you are equipped to fly solo in the profession, changing from one to another for such reasons as stated by is not a very good idea.
You first objective should be to achieve (relative) professional autonomy in terms of knowledge and skills.
Think over and raise more questions if you like!
