Greetings, seniors,
I have 2.5 years of experience in an HR generalist profile. Recently, I left my job due to some political reasons in the company. After deep thinking, I came to the conclusion that I am a technically sound person and must try new opportunities in the HR technical field.
I have searched extensively for HR technical fields and found that I can pursue a career as an HR consultant. I have noticed the demand in the market for software consultants such as SAP HR, PeopleSoft, etc.
Can anyone suggest how I can become an HR consultant and recommend a way to start my journey in this field?

HR_Mind: Very interesting. From an HR perspective, you don't know the career path (isn't one of the primary HR functions to work on succession planning for employees?) and from a technology perspective, you don't know SAP, PeopleSoft, etc.
What the fraternity (and potential employers) require is someone who can scope the exact requirements (called workflow in tech parlance) and someone who can 'implement' the product - ensure it's bug-free, working right, etc.
To be certified in SAP or PeopleSoft, you need to google for certifications, pay millions of pounds, and get certified to land a role in this field. Do note that the HR Tech Field is also a political minefield - too many SAP HR, PeopleSoft HR module guys are there all looking for a job.

Dear talentsorcerer,
Thank you for your views, valuable inputs, and taking the time to reply to my thread. I was confused at that time, as you rightly suggested, I could have Googled for information, and I did just that.
I have conducted extensive research, spoken to numerous people about the same topic, and now I am clear about my decision. I have decided not to pursue SAP HR. Instead, I will focus on enhancing my HR knowledge, working on improving relationships with people, personal development, and enhancing my behavioral skills.
I am pleased to share that I have secured a job as a personnel officer in a well-known manufacturing plant. I will now prioritize working on myself.
Thank you once again for your response.
Best regards, [Your Name]
