Hey guys! I graduated in 2017 with a degree in B.E. and joined as an intern at a startup. They have now offered me a full-time role, and being the only HR in the company, I was wondering which designation is better: HR Generalist, Executive, or HR Executive.

It really doesn’t matter. what matters is your profile and scope of work. Also, Generalist is a profile and executive is a post.

True, the content is more important, but not the container for any career in the future. So select the one which appeals to you, but what appeals to the employers is what you have done so far.

Dear Friend,
Since, you have just joined, its very important for you to have clarity on various HR Roles. In HR domain, there are just 2 roles - From Role perspective 1) HR Generalist (covers end to end of all HR functions, right from manpower planning, Hiring, training, performance management, Compensation, administrative services - PF, gratuity, loans & advances, attendance, leave and so on. Where you have to do everything either independently or with a small team as one of the team members supporting the HR Manager, typically for small & medium size companies of 10-500 people, where you get the working knowledge of all the areas of HR function - Called HR Generalist Role. BUT as you grow up the ladder, you need to have specialization in 1 or 2 areas like Compensation & Benefit Specialist (if you are good at number crunching) or Training & Development (If you have the knack for it) or Recruitment Specialist (if you are good at Research and Head Hunting) or any Special Role as defined by your Company as a Strategic role (which closely works with the Leadership team in Companies decision making and development activities).
Your levels and grades could be anything from - Executive - Sr Executive - Asst /Dy Manager - Manager, Sr Manager - Group Manager - AGM - DGM - GM - AVP / VP - Sr VP - Director - CEO
Generally, now a days, people don't right designations, they just right -
For HR General roles - HR Generalist
And
For Specialist Roles - HR – Compensation & Benefits, HR - Training , HR - PMS, HR - Talent Acquisition
Hope, i have been able to clarify.
