Hi,

I'm a line manager (male) in a bank, but i've always thought about the possibility of
transferring internally to the HR dept as I have this illusion/perception that HR work can be pretty fun? I mean like resourcing, conducting interviews, looking at people's salaries..?

sure there's also lots of admin like handling the leave system, MCs, internal courses, performance reviews etc etc, plus biggest downside is probably conducting interviews at very early or late hours, but overall the job doesn't seem to be very stressful..?

I'm just looking from an outsider's perspective. Can anyone from HR give me a more realistic/balanced view on the real pros/cons of working in HR?
