I am an MBA-HR student currently working in a recruitment company in the pharma vertical, with 9 months of experience. Everything is going well, and just after 5 months of joining, I was given my individual accounts. Now, I am directly dealing with clients and managing a team of 3 members.
However, I am not satisfied with this core recruitment profile and am not getting a chance to transition into the core HR profile. I am in a confused situation about whether I should continue with the job in which I am not envisioning a long-term association or if I should take a break to continue my studies.
I request all of you to provide your valuable suggestions on this matter.

If you complete your studies or obtain a master's degree, that will be a plus point for your future. You will have the best opportunities. Regarding your present job, it seems good as you handle clients directly and have three members under you. I agree about the self-satisfaction in your job. So, if you feel that your current job is not what you desire, then you will have no choice but to quit. If your financial status is not good, then kindly continue and also pursue your studies accordingly.
Please consider that your present job will add to your experience in your resume, which will surely benefit you in the near future.
Thanks,

Thank you for your reply. I have already completed my Master's in HR. As far as my interest is concerned, I am seeking an opportunity in HR with a company. I am not interested in working with a consultancy. My experience in recruitment may not be considered for a Core HR profile in any company, which is why I am uncertain whether to continue in the same role or to explore other options.
If I were to secure a position as an HR trainee at this time, I would be ready to start. However, after gaining more than one year of experience, it might be challenging to begin as a trainee, as this experience may not be recognized for a generalist profile.
Thank you.

Seeking Advice on Transitioning to Core HR
Please suggest how to get a chance in core HR because all the positions I am getting are for recruiters only; not a single call for a core HR profile. I request all CiteHR members to advise me on this issue. Should I consider changing my career path to academia because I do not wish to continue in consultancy?
Your expertise in the HR field makes you more aware of market trends. Can a recruiter transition into a core HR role? Your insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I also had the same situation, so I can understand your problem very well. I worked for almost 7 months in a consultancy and faced the same problems that you are facing now. So, I will suggest you quit that job as you're not getting any satisfaction from it. I resigned from my former company and now work in an IT company as an Assistant HR Manager. Be optimistic. Could you please tell me what type of recruitments your consultancy is doing? If they are handling both IT and Non-IT positions, you can use their vacancy information for your job search.
