1) HR generalist in engineering / mfg environment is thankless job, a lot of rubbish things you have to handle like AWOL, discipline issues, complains over stupid things like vending machine, boots, bus, dispute over OT, organize gathering, training records etc.

2) Career progression for generalist ops really is CMI, I am currently trying to get out of it and finding it very hard. I already close to 10 yrs exp in 3 companies and only just reach 4.6k, increment & bonus also much lower than my peers.

To answer ur question, yes I think u still have a decent chance. The work is just mostly admin & dun need hr degree (i major marketing) Just try to sound as team player and people oriented as possible, tone down on all that engineering "I know the biz" rhetoric, they are not looking for that kind of stuff for a hr exec.

any recommendation for HR generalist as a stepping stone>?
