Ask HN: IT or HR?

2 pointsby mshenoy4573about 15 years ago
Well I do not mean to sound dumb here. But I am looking for opinions just in case anyone else has been in a situation like this. I am a fresh Graduate in Computer science. I have been job hunting for quiet a while in the IT industry but I have a unforeseen opportunity in an HR related job which my friend offered to me in his company. Now If I take this opportunity up I tend to think that I would never go back to IT ever again. But I would still like to be associated with something IT related probably take up some certification but again will the certification be any good without hands on experience. I want to this this HR job as I would eventually be a partner in this company and not have a desk job. But I still stand confused. Any comments are appreciated.

Barring weird stuff, take the job. "Never" sometimes happens, and it will give you a perspective few in IT have. Also, you can do fun IT projects as a hobby.

Might be an entrée into management, where your IT background could give you a leg up.
