Hi all,
I am Vijay Karthik. I have completed an engineering degree in ECE and finished my MBA in Finance and Systems. I don't find any great opportunities in the finance sector. Now, I would like to switch over to the HR stream so that my career can be in growth mode. Can anybody explain whether my idea is okay or not, and how I can switch to the HR stream?

Hi dear,
Regarding your doubt, I would like to suggest that you can join a distance learning HR course. Your finance background will help you work well on compensation and reward systems, enabling you to justify HR as a profit center. You should have a strong understanding of Organizational Behavior and the basic functions of HR.
There are plenty of posts on this forum that will assist you in learning and understanding this field.
I am also specialized in HR and Finance.
Regards and all the best

Hi Vijay,
Please note the following before thinking about the switch of careers:
a) If your reason for leaving finance is the inability to find good opportunities, then it's an absolutely wrong reason. The finance sector is growing faster than any other in India right now. Therefore, you will have to try harder if you do want a good opportunity in finance. I would suggest approaching the right consultants.
b) HR is for people who have a flair for it. All the HR personnel who have succeeded in the industry are excellent people persons and are individuals who wanted to build their careers in HR. There is a lot of sacrifice and cost involved in the growth of an HR professional. There are always problems to address, targets to achieve, and most of the time, you are blamed for things that are beyond your control. Additionally, after a job well done, there is not much adulation except from your team members.
Consider the above, and if you possess the necessary qualities, shifting to HR is not a bad option.
Remember, the grass is always greener on the other side.

Hi Vijay,
I guess the last post by thinkjobs has already provided you with some really good points. However, just to answer the question that is the topic of this post: you don't have to be an MBA in HR to be an HR Professional. Trust me, Vijay, HR is much more than just logic, understanding of acts, human beings, and coordination. You can't learn everything in an MBA, although it's certainly an advantage!
Thanks

Dear friends,
I have finished my UG and PG in reputed colleges. "But did I make a mistake doing my MBA as my PG course?" I said I don't find great opportunities because I find only KPO & BPO for MBA Finance. Do you feel it is okay to take up these jobs? The main thing, do you feel a BE with MBA will not have the ability to serve as a Finance Person?
I am now working in the Organizational Development Cell doing a lot of analysis kind of stuff. Is this the right choice?

I fully agree. If one couldnot find opps in any function the situation remains same in any other function. Should rethink on the ideas. Should take the suggestions positively. Rgds, Dr. Kishore

This is what is expected from an MBA, so-called "Analysis." You may decide to work in any area where you find enjoyment, fun, as well as value addition to your career growth.

Hi Vijay,
I guess now you asked the right question not just in the forum but to yourself too.
The problem that you are being offered options in BPO's & KPO's is because you would have had experience in the same.
If you plan to continue with finance as a career option, then you can either join any of the banks, insurance companies, or even trading companies (stocks & non-stocks).
In all of the above, the first job you might get will not give you the salary that you are being paid by a KPO or a BPO. But each of the jobs comes with a promise of growth in your role.
Here the benefit is even if you plan to shift careers to HR, the same is going to happen.
Also, your current job of analysis doesn't come with a lot of promise either. You shouldn't worry about finance being only for people who have done BE with an MBA; most of the finance postgraduates you notice are BCom with MBA guys.
Also, as a career plan, why don't you look into SAP? It's an excellent tool and a very good addition to your profile.

Hi,
Please refer to other posts in the forum, specifically the finance management section. You will be able to find solutions to your queries there.
In addition, I have attached a tax calculator for your reference. Please consult a tax consultant for finalization. You can utilize the Excel cells for the calculations.
