Career Path Changes: How to Explain Your Shift from HR to Finance in Interviews?

I have a question that is often asked during HR rounds of interviews. I have completed my graduation in BSc Computers. Following that, I worked for one year in an HR process in a BPO. Subsequently, I pursued my MBA in Finance. They often inquire about the reason for such a change in career paths, questioning if I did not have a goal right from the start.

During an HR interview, a common question I have encountered is regarding my educational and career background. I pursued my graduation in BSc Computers and subsequently gained one year of experience working in HR processes at a BPO. Following this, I pursued an MBA in Finance. The interviewer often asks about the significant change in career paths from IT to HR to Finance, questioning whether I lacked a clear goal from the beginning.
