Torn Between HR and BD Roles: Should I Wait or Start with Business Development?

smartneha_iway@yahoo.com
I have completed B.Tech in IT and I am about to finish my PGPM in Marketing and MBA in HR in the next few days. My summer internship was also in HR. I want to utilize my B.Tech knowledge as well. So, in the long run, I see myself in HR in IT companies. However, as a fresher, I am not getting many opportunities in HR. Therefore, I am confused. Should I wait for a good opportunity in HR, or for the time being, should I go for a BD profile as there are more vacancies available in the market for BD profiles? Additionally, every company is asking for experience in HR profiles. Could you please suggest what I should do? If I start with a BD profile now, will it be suitable to switch after gaining experience in BD? Your valuable suggestions would be highly appreciated.

BD is different from HR. It is a fact that the job market scenario, especially for freshers, is very stagnant. There are practically no jobs, and I agree with that. Instead of pursuing BD, you can consider taking up a recruiter's role in a consultancy. You can utilize your IT background to screen relevant IT profiles. This way, you can gain experience without deviating from your goal of entering the IT industry through HR. I hope this advice helps you make a better decision. All the best.

Thank you so much for your suggestion. These days, the market is in bad shape. Nobody is hiring freshers, especially in HR. Even placement consultancies are of no use. What to do in such a situation?

Kind regards
