As an engineering graduate, you would have honed systematic process thinking that HR professionals appreciate. Engineers can end up as HR Directors.

I think companies can accept you as a HR generalist first, perhaps with a fresh graduate salary or slightly higher due to no HR experience. Thereafter, get a graduate diploma. Presently understandably, you have no clue which to specialise as you have no exposure. Specialise later when you are more certain of your direction.

Masters is too huge an investment at this stage, perhaps consider when you have reached HR management level.
Please lar, HR emphasis is on people centric skills. what " honed systematic process thinking " are you talking about?

Go to jobsdb, jobstreet and take a look at all the ads for HR position, how many list engineering style systematic process thinking as a requirement?
