Reason I'm asking is because I'm interested in Organisational Development/Excellence, and I understand that it is one of the specialised field under HR. And it usually comes with L&D. However I am not a biz/hr major, and no prior experience in HR whatsoever. But I've been dealing with OD/OE issues for the past 4 years.

Is it prudent to follow down this track, without any experience in general HR?

Dun udnerstand. So you have 4 years experience dealing with OD/OE already and yet still asking whether you should go to general HR???

I mean assuming you are really doing proper OE work your salary should be about 2-3 times of a HR ops/generalist person, why would you want to take a massive paycut to go back operations?
