Hello dear friend...
first of all thank you for coming to CareerGuide.com and sharing your query with us, it is our pleasure to help and guide you in the best possible way we could.
seeing your question above that you are working as a HR in Samsung engineering India pvt ltd from nine years and currently frustrated with your job and thinking for alternatives like going for higher studies or NGO or MBA etc.
After noticing the point that you are married and have a daughter of three and half years old, I would like to suggest you stay in current job and look for switching in other companies of same profile where you and learn, grow and enjoy doing your work as that is the sole cause of boredom and frustration, choose a job where you can apply your ideas and thought in your work and will have freedom in work.
What ever you are thinking like going for higher studies is not correct at all in current scenario for you as you have lot many responsibilities on your shoulders and you should not take it lightly.We can understand that as you do not have recognition and growth in your current job its getting frustrating for you and making you to think of quitting but it is not wise. But it is not a wise decision and you should think of your family also so be wise and though full and see in a wider perspective as not only you all your family is related to your decision, how that pressure will be minimized.
If you are more interested in MBA than go for executive MBA that is best suitable option for you and you can go for it as only you need to attend few classes and give exams which will be easy for you. And you also thought of joining NGO which can be done in free time like weekends saturday and sunday you can go to NGO and work their which will give you a kind of satisfaction and internal peace in mind too.
Hope you got the answer and will take life seriouslyand keep apositive attitude which will help you and enjoy you job too.
Thank you
Hello Dear Experienced Professional,
I am glad that you approached CareerGuide for seeking guidance after gaining over nine years of experience.
Nice years of work experience in a good company and no work life balance or growth. Such scenario arises when you work in a junior level in an organisation for many years and this is natural and therefore the only way to come out of it Further EDUCATION
The above aspects are important for you to come out of frustration.
I would strongly suggest that you should continue in your current job and pursue immediately part time MBA from a reputed Institute (mind it, it should be reputed and for getting into it, no matter if you need to study hard).
An MBA from a really reputed top Institute will solve all your problems and then you should switch your current job.
Best Luck and Keep faith.
Hi,
I would really be happy to help you.
But before i start advising you, the foremost thing that you need to do is to let go of the negative vibe that has affected your life terribly, and instead of taking random decisions, you need to de-stress and think rationally.
You should be fortunate that you are working on a higher level scale with one of the most reputed companies in india in this crucial economical scenerio, where the unemployment ratio is much much higher.
Instead of completely quitting doing a job, you could try having a job change, as a new environment will help you. Joining and actively being a part of the social work is a good deed and will help you mentally but not bring any major change in your career. So think about a change in job.
Now, wheather you should pursue masters or not, look quitting job and doing a full time masters program is just not practically possible for you, so if you are very keen then you should go for a part time distance mode masters program which you can do along with a job.
No doubt a masters program will increase you skills and bring about a good change in your resume which will help you secure a better job without it.
So in case if you decide you want to pursue masters then do your full research about the course, its modek, its duration, its recognition and lastly the cost before you take the pludge.
Best Wishes for whatever you decide in the future. Dont take decisions in your current state of mind.
Please be assured that you have a brilliant career ahead and stay calm with no worries. Reading on your query, I was actually impressed with your stable career development. You have an amazing nine years of work experience and are also working as a Senior Manager in Human resources and thats really great. All that you require now is to take a perfect transition and ensure you have a stable and smooth career ahead.
