Hello pushpananjundaiah,
I fully agree with Benito.
Basically it all depends on WHAT you want from your career AND in WHICH DIRECTION you want it to take AND at what pace you want to move 2-3 or 5-6 yrs from now.
In such issues there's nothing called a 'perfect' choice/decision. It all depends on the individual's priorities. And also keep in mind what YOUR CORE STRENGTHS are--all may not be suitable for a Generalist HR role--however much attractive that might look from the sidelines. And the same applies to the recruiter's role too. Choose a role/job where your core/inherent strengths are used & your limitations don't become the stumbling block.
All the Best.

Hi,
Mr. Sandeep I’m also from a leading EPC (MNC) company and have also worked with Auto Manufacturing and IT industries and I found what is important is to work not nature of industry and with my 5-6 years of experience, I’ve learned many things and one thing I must say that there we need to understand the work of HRD and their functions and what is HRM where there is no much difference between the Industries but the style and system of work.
Furthermore, we must understand the work of a HR Generalist where we have to work on every function of HR and as far as we all know the functions and activities of HR remain the same in every Industry.
And there is nothing like one who will work with Construction company will ruin his/her career of there is no professional growth and further opportunities ...
I am not agree with you.

Dear Pushpa
The exposure you get from HR Generalist from other sector is much higher than in an IT organisation. HR in IT will be more confined to Recruitment, very few cases extended to other areas in HR. IF you are looking at a good recruiter role , IT would be the best option. But if you are looking at HR as a Wholesome role HR generalist would be the best option. Its always easy to get into IT from other sectors, but from IT getting into other Sector as an HR is very diffidcult. This is my self exeprience and i have worked as a recruiter for 3 years, hence i have seen no Manfacturing company or any other Industry prefering HR profeesionals from IT industry because the exposure would be less.
After putting in some 5+ years of experience as a HR generalist, it is easy to switch over even to IT industry, incase if you get SAP implementation exposure in your own company. Also you can become a Functional Consultant by learning SAP in parallel.
Wishing you a Wonderful career in HR.

Dear All,
Small Addition to What Mr. K J Mehta has opined.
Kindly be informed that the IT / ITES allied industries have reached a saturation level in terms of growth and expansion in India. Alarmed growth was in the previous decades, such levels are not expected or will get repeated in the future.
As far as Construction / Manufacturing is concerned, it is poised for huge expansion and contains high market potential. It is expected to attract large number of customers and create abundant employment opportunities.
Going by the statistics & industry reports , it is advisable for you to take up the career as a HR Generalist in a Civil Project (Manufacturing /Construction) Company
