I have completed an MBA in HR from an average institute this year and worked as a Generalist HR Executive in a Pvt. Ltd. Company for 6 months, where I was earning 10K. Now, I have joined a Senior Management Search Firm that specializes in Retained Search only. I am now earning 12K with incentives up to 50% of my salary. I am also receiving other offers for Training & Development and Recruitment (Contingency). However, I am unsure about what to choose. I am seeking advice on the best route for me in terms of growth and salary. Your urgent help would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Friend,
Tell me one thing, are you comfortable with the new profile you have right now? Secondly, if new offers create excitement in you, then you can join. But, as per my advice, HR Generalist is a good profile for anyone.

This is purely based on your interest. See where your interest lies. Then you won't be in dilemma, and we can't say that only this particular field is perfect or that is perfect. The only thing is whatever the work or profile is, it is such that how you do it. Are you doing it with your full heart or just for the sake of doing it?
So, don't look at the offers. They come one way or another. You have to make your path in the way you want it. So, my dear, think twice and make a decision on what you want to do.
Hope you are clear.

Thank you for your advice, friends.
As it stands, I am an Associate Consultant and am enjoying the job so far. I find it quite interesting. However, I am anxious about whether it will be a long-term fit.

Hi,
The choice entirely depends on your interest and your aptitude. It's not that someone gives you advice on the choice of your career. It is entirely at your discretion, and you are the better judge of what is good and what suits you best.
Good luck!

Hi,
It's nice to know that you are gaining exposure in multiple areas in a short time. However, from now on, when changing jobs, please keep in mind the aspect of stability. Frequently changing jobs is not advisable unless you have a valid reason to leave.
All the best,

Hi,
First, you need to decide whether you want T&D Recruitment or a Generalist Profile because it will help you to grow. Just for merely a couple of thousand rupees, don't go for a change. Make a decision according to your strengths and targets.
Cheers!

Hi Ruhi, Joe, and Murali,
I do agree with all of you about the stability aspect. However, the thing is money is important too. That's where the dilemma lies. I am liking Recruitment. But is there ample growth in it? When I see that any graduate is getting jobs in this field, I become anxious about the prospects.
Please, I am asking what you guys think about the future in recruitment and whether I will have any prospects later for a generalist role if I continue in this.
Give your guidance.

It is always good to go into a field that excites you, but you should understand that knowledge and experience are important for survival. It is advisable to thoroughly learn your present job and then analyze the possibility of making a change. In today's world, opportunities are plentiful, so focus on improving your talents rather than solely seeking a salary increase.

Hi Pallavi,
It's nice to hear that you are getting good offers from companies, but Pallavi, I have to say that your constant shifts from one company to another within a short period of time will have a negative impact on your resume. This shows that you are not stable. Gain some experience and then make a shift; this will provide a bigger platform for you to grow and rise.

Hi Friend,
You have gained valuable exposure as a Generalist HR professional at a Senior Management level. Now, you have received another offer in Training & Development and Recruitment with an attractive package. It's great to see this opportunity, but it's essential to have awareness about the company's history, growth, market standards, list of clients, etc.
Many companies are willing to offer competitive packages to attract candidates. My question is, to evaluate whether your current company is better or worse than the offered position. If the new company has a strong brand name in the industry, it may be worth seizing the opportunity.
Remember, the reputation of the company can significantly impact your career and overall experience.
