Dear All,
I need advice on whether a career in HR is better in a company or with an NGO. One of my associates is planning to join an NGO as the HR & Admin head, leaving his current engineering company.
It seems that all HR & Admin activities will remain the same regardless of the company or NGO, but from a career perspective, which option is better? Can any senior person guide us on this?

Dear Colleague,
The HR function is common and applicable to various sectors such as Manufacturing, IT, ITES, Hospitality, Health Care, Financial, NGO, and Education. The key differences between these sectors are:
1. Level of exposure and opportunities for knowledge acquisition
2. Capability development and career advancement possibilities
3. Compensation and benefits
4. Opportunities for upskilling and training
5. Retirement benefits and social security support beyond statutory requirements
Each sector has distinct differences in these aspects, and individuals need to carefully consider their passion. In my opinion, during the productive years, it is crucial to focus on earning potential, which is often higher in the IT/ITES/Manufacturing sectors. NGOs typically offer slower pay progression and limited growth. Once an individual has achieved financial stability, they can choose to work in an NGO for personal fulfillment.
In youth, the priority should be on earning and gaining experience. As one progresses, they can transition into a field they are passionate about. Ultimately, each person is the sole judge of their life, and your friend's decision should be respected, as they may have reasons unknown to us.
Best wishes and blessings,
