Should I Take the HR Head Role in a Small Telecom Company for a 30% Pay Raise?

Dear Friends,

I am currently working as an HR Manager in a reputed company in the Infrastructure sector. I have received an offer to become an HR Head in the Telecom sector (Small Company) with approximately a 30% increase in salary. There are no proper HR systems in that company, and I would need to establish effective HR systems and practices. I would like to hear your views on whether I should accept this offer or not. If your answer is yes or no, please provide reasons for your opinion.

I am somewhat confused at this stage, and I would appreciate some suggestions to help me make a decision.

Regards,
Amar.

Dear Mr. Amarnath,

I think that joining another company with a 30% hike is really good. However, there are no proper HR practices in place, and you will have to initiate these practices yourself. You should present your plan for implementing new HR practices to the management and confirm whether they will support you or give you the freedom to implement the changes as needed.

Hi,

I agree with Santosh. If the company is really interested in building up a complete HR department around you, I would not think twice - better salary and better working opportunities! I believe you could gain some really interesting experience here that would help your career in the long run. But make sure what kind of vision the company has for HR - 1 to 2 years down the line.

Hi Amarnath,

Go ahead, it is a nice opportunity. You are getting a platform where you can enhance your skills and grow. You are beneficial in every manner:

- A good platform to develop your skills and to grow.
- Designation Raise.
- Salary Hike.
- Growing Industry.

I believe you should not think twice before saying yes. All the best.
