Respected Seniors, I hope you all are well. I am confused about something and want your valuable suggestions. I have completed my MBA in HR and graduated in January 2011. I started working for an organization as an HR Generalist. However, after six months, I left that job due to various reasons, with one major issue being corruption in the HR department.
Current Job Offers
Currently, I have two job offers:
1. A Trainee Project Management position with a well-reputed publishing house. The offer includes signing a 3-year bond, and the salary is acceptable.
2. An HR Generalist position in an IT company, but the salary offered is significantly lower (5k less) than my previous salary. This role requires a 1-year bond.
Dilemma and Request for Guidance
I am in a dilemma. If I choose the Project Management role, my HR knowledge may not be utilized, and I am unsure about the prospects and future of Project Management. On the other hand, accepting the HR Generalist position would mean settling for a much lower salary.
I seek your guidance on this matter as it is urgent, and I have limited time before the documentation process begins. Please advise me on the best course of action. Thank you for your assistance.
Regards,
From India, Gurgaon

The decision has to be yours, and you must decide what you need to do because only you know yourself well. Let me try and suggest a way how you can bring more clarity to your situation. Here is what you need to do:
SWOT Analysis of Yourself
On a piece of paper, write about yourself (be honest). It should be a SWOT analysis of yourself and should include your dreams and aspirations (even if they sound absurd and silly).
SWOT Analysis of Each Opportunity
Now, do a SWOT analysis of each opportunity on different sheets of paper. This should include what you feel will happen 5 and 10 years from today if you take this opportunity.
Correlate Each SWOT Analysis
Now, correlate each SWOT analysis with yours.
The picture will emerge much clearer, and you will have clarity.
If you need my help, please feel free to contact me via my LinkedIn page.
Have FUN!!!
Cheers,
