Hello Friends,
My name is Rahul. I completed MCA in 2014 but could not find my interest in technical aspects or develop enough hands-on technical skills. In January 2014, I got the opportunity to work in a startup company under the IT development team, which was not my cup of tea. However, there was no one to handle HR & Admin activities. Recognizing my leadership qualities and communication skills, the management decided to entrust me with HR activities. They offered me an opportunity, and that's how my journey into HR began.
I discovered that HR is very interesting and offers a promising career. I have been working in HR for the past two years in the same company. If I consider changing companies in the future, will other companies hire me for HR roles? Some colleagues suggested completing an MBA through distance learning. What challenges might I face now or in the future regarding my career?
I would appreciate your guidance on this matter.
Looking forward to your kind reply.
Thanks,
Rahul Yadav

Dear Rahul,
Getting a degree in one discipline and pursuing a career in another field is not uncommon. Many individuals have achieved success in diverse fields. What is crucial for you is to excel in whatever you choose to do.
I commend your honesty in sharing your background; however, there is room for improvement in your language and communication skills. As you progress in your current role, dedicate yourself to working diligently and enhancing your capabilities. Pursuing an MBA is a viable option, or alternatively, focus on enhancing your English language proficiency and communication skills.
Best regards,
V. Raghunathan

It's a startup you are working in, so you won't get the company brand benefits. It will be smarter to go for an MBA because in the real world, labels carry a lot of value.
Does this mean you can't succeed without an MBA? No, not at all. Only that most recruiters will see your MCA and then HR work experience in an unknown company - that wouldn't be very impressive and may even feel strange to some recruiters. You will have to do a lot of explaining and convincing to tell them that you are a great HR person despite no MBA/no big brand experience.
On the other hand, if you have an MBA, they will not even have that doubt. It would be easier that way.
