Dear Sir/Madam,
I completed my MBA in HR and Marketing in 2010 and have 2.5 years of experience in HR recruitment. Currently, I feel that achieving success and growth in the HR field, both professionally and financially, is slow and challenging.
I am seeking advice on how to transition into a different career area that would be a better fit for me. What is a Research Analyst profile, and would it be a suitable option for me to explore?
Regards,

Dear Yes,
The growth is slow, but HR is a vast area that has many other aspects. I too started my career 7 years ago, and now slowly, after learning and gaining practical knowledge, I am an HR Manager handling the Mall. So, have patience, work hard, and try to find out and learn all the other areas of HR.

I don't know if the above-mentioned lines are true or not, but one thing is certain - hard work and dedication to upgrading our studies as an HR professional are essential. Otherwise, we will face challenges in terms of salary growth or career advancement.

Yes, I also agree with Nancy. However, if one has a master's degree in HR, what else can they upgrade in terms of skills or certifications for faster career growth? Additionally, what opportunities can one have if they are handling both HR and accounts after pursuing an MBA in HR?

I feel your frustration toward triple-digit salary. As an HR professional working only for MNC companies, if you possess good skills, they pay very well. However, most of the time, they offer contract-based jobs. As a friend, I would like to say that in just two years, you learn almost nothing in an organization. During the initial six months, you spend most of your time feeling afraid to take action, but gradually you start doing things with bravery. Without facing challenges, you may not achieve good salaries. Even if you manage to get a high salary, it might be in a company that doesn't respect your work.
If you have invested a significant amount in an MBA, my suggestion is to seek returns from it. Meanwhile, try to gain valuable exposure and network with people in your desired job profile through professional networking sites. Seek their feedback and make informed decisions.

I find this thread really interesting. How a career evolves for one is entirely a unique story. What works for everyone may suddenly not work for someone, in particular. Our members and experts have contributed with their suggestions; there isn't much for me to add.
Money offered as a salary in HR cannot be compared with other functions until HR is one of the profit centers.
The exposure in HR is immense, hence the maturity gained is incomparable to any role. For example, for decades the PA to MD or a GM may not have the glamour or compensation of a software consultant, but will have a far greater understanding. The option to access the leaders and decision-makers adds to the maturity.
HR is a custodian, hence it enables everyone in the organization, including the decision-makers. A CHRO will not decide the next line of business but will research to provide inputs for the sector where talents would be best and easiest to find.
My suggestion is to look forward to adding to your business acumen and professional maturity. Find a mentor within the organization and outside who can give you a view to the top.
There are no promises that HR can make you the richest soul on this earth. But standing by, it will help you do your best while doing what you love the most!

Hi friends,
Let me try to be brief about myself, as I am afraid I may exceed the byte limit!
I started my career as a Secretary 40 odd years ago. Halfway through, I was only helping the HR in charge, whenever I used to be free from my role as Secretary to the Vice President. Although I did my Graduation in Political Science and a Diploma in Russian language when I was in the Agricultural Ministry in the Government of India with a view to become a translator/interpreter, which was my goal. However, I got transferred to Bangalore from Delhi and my destiny took a turn. I developed an interest in HR activities (in the late 80s) and this prompted me to do a PG Dip in HR through correspondence. After five years, I was given in charge of the HR activities as Executive-HR in 1994. Believe me, I retired as Sr. Dy. Gen. Manager/Head-HR. I underwent all soft skill training programs, technical training in SAP-HCM, Mercer's Position Clarification Exercise, Thomas Profiling, Train the Trainer Programme for Performance Management System, and also for Soft Skills and whatnot. I handled the entire gamut of HR for our Business Unit and once I handled nearly 600 folders of Supervisors and Executives.
After my retirement, I became a trainer for our company and conducted training programs for our employees.
To sum up, grab your opportunities, develop yourself, keep on upgrading your knowledge, don't say NO to any assignment in any area of HR because that will give you an opportunity to learn a new area of operation. Master communication skills, labor laws, and various other skills relating to HR operations, and I am sure you will grow well.
Success is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration, so be prepared to slog, slog, and slog! You can never attain success overnight. Everything takes time. Work hard and wait for success to come to you at the appropriate time.
Best wishes

Beautiful.. First, I would like to salute to your learning skills and objectives that were running with and to your achievements Mr. SUNDARAM.
I second Mr. Ravindran, Sir; you are truly an inspiring one. I’m really happy and obliged to have you here at this place and feeling great to know about you.
I always express myself to other about learning and the value of it in life which is everything actually and ask people to be a good student and learn sincerely that will help to make a good future/career with better understanding and maturity. Its life and at every stage, we have lot to learn. Life is our first and Almighty Teacher (my belief) and even call myself a "Student Of Life" bcz I love to learn from everyone, everything at every moment, though, we don’t know what will happen in future but we always having an realization that our present and firm actions helps us to make a good future, and that can only be the reasons to make this possible by learning and developing ourselves with the things consistently.
I also am agreeing with Mr. Negi about “Slow Growth with HR profile in terms of Salary” and found your statement contradictory. Will you please let me know your clear motive of your Career, you wanna be a successful HR Professional or feel like to get a good and handsome salary package, your must be a good and successful HR Professional. I actually don’t feel the same.
“If you are a good professional, have good knowledge and experience can get good salary and other benefits accordingly, and many more good opportunity in your career anywhere” but if you lacking skills to develop or introduce the new things to the HR world, and not learning from the things or say failed to expedite it, no matter you are getting a good package, you can’t continue with it. Being a learner one can grab the chances for development in career, can get big recognitions/fame, success and the achievements that every HR personnel and other dreamed of it. I actually don’t agree with your statement “SALARYWISE GROWTH IS A VERY SLOW AND DIFFICULT TASK” that evidently saying that you are at the wrong way and need to understand that Money can’t buy you success but Success can gift you Money at amount that will make you really blessed with many things.
There are many valuable suggestions and experiences shared by respective seniors and other member, hence, I just wanna say Jyotsana, you must learn about HR & Functions and need to switch with Core HR.

Lastly, I would like to something about your Signature “Regards- ABCD” Can you please let me know why you afraid to using your name and using ABCD.
