Hello Seniors,
I am completing MBA-HR and i am here to ask for your valuable suggestion which will be very important in shaping my professional career.
I am very much interested to go in to Functional side of HR like HR-Core Or HR-Generalist. After gaining hands-on experience for about 2 yrs i want to be a SAP-HR functional consultant.
But i am very much confused on selecting the right path. Should i choose HR-Core Or HR-Generalist as a fresher keeping in view of entering into ERP consultant like SAP-HR.
Kindly suggest me the right path and even here what i said is partly wrong please correct me.
Thank You.

Hi Pramod,

Dear Friends,
as per your mails. let me help you in this.
No matter if you have experience in HR-Core Or HR-Generalist. its only for complete understanding the HR process in a company. ie from Recruitment - retainment - retirement.
Its only help you in understanding the client requirement completely.
as a functional sap Hr consultant you have to understand the client requirement and map it through implementation in sap.

Hi Pramod,
I have worked with SAP as a HR generalist & as per information given by Sai Prasad, its completely correct.
I would advice you to go for Core HR role as it has more exposure rather than SAP HR consultant.
Reasons:
1) Courses are too expensive & every module will be charged seperately. Approxm 3.00 lacs per course.
2) very tough to get into SAP itself as an expert consultant
3) SAP partner can pick u up, however, the pay will be less as compared to core HR in the initial stage.
4) travelling will be 95%
5) Will have just the implementing knowledge & you will screw up your managment degree value.
Its my suggestion, choice is yours.
