Navigating HR Career Choices: How Do I Decide Between Consultancies and Full HR Roles?

Dear friends,

My name is Ajit Mathai. I am pursuing an MBA in the 4th semester with a major in HR and a minor in marketing. I have been receiving calls from consultancies. I think I would prefer to work in companies where all functions of HR are activated. Kindly guide me so that I can make a wise decision regarding my career.

Yours faithfully,
Ajit Mathai.

Hi Ajit,

Can you please inform me from which university you are pursuing your MBA? This information would help people guide you better.

Regards,
Ram

Dear Ravi,

I am pursuing an MBA at VTU, which is Vishweswaraiah Technological University in Belgaum. Please guide me to make a wise decision.

Hi Ajit,

The best option would always be to join a corporate organization in the HR department. However, in case you receive a really good assignment in HRD from consultants, that would provide you with a much higher level of exposure than a job with corporates.

But remember, HRD consultants work in fields such as 'Change Management' and 'Training.' You may not get as much exposure if you join a 'Placement Consultant.'

So, my suggestion would be:
First Choice: Corporate
Second Choice: HRD consultants
Avoid: Placement Consultants
