Let’s talk about the instrumentation field
Thread Content
I have several years of experience in the instrumentation field: 4 years in installation and over 3 years in maintenance. I’m pretty familiar with the tasks involved in the job, but there has been no promotion, and my salary remains around 3,000. I suddenly feel like going out and working in sales. Does anyone have anything they’d like to say?

I think it depends on your interests and hobbies; if your choice aligns with what you enjoy, then you needn’t fear anything, even if you’re a complete beginner.
DCS, or the original instrumentation.
Mm-hmm. Sales teaches you things beyond just technical skills
At the owner’s age, they are almost past the prime period for working in sales
It mainly depends on you; anyone’s advice is just for reference. To work in this field, one needs to have interest and perseverance. I have been working for 16 years, of which 15 years have been spent in the field of instruments and control. I learned on my own how to work with both non-intelligent and intelligent instruments, as well as various control systems such as 200PLC, Zhejiang University’s control systems, Hollyland’s systems, CS3000, and PCS7. Without perseverance, it’s impossible to master these skills. Although the salary isn’t high, I find the work meaningful
If one has good communication skills and emotional intelligence, working in sales can be a good choice as well.
The reason it’s over 3000 is that you’re in the wrong location; try going to another province. Staying in one place has its limitations. The salary for maintenance workers in the instrumentation field is also quite decent; 4,000 to 5,000 per year is a normal amount for those with seven years of work experience. In recent years, there have been many new projects along the coast, all carried out by large companies.
It also takes several years to become proficient in sales; having someone to guide you can help you progress faster. Building various networks takes time as well. It’s normal for some salespeople to earn hundreds of thousands per year, while others still don’t earn enough – there’s a big difference. With your many years of technical experience, you can work as a sales technical support specialist or in field service, and your salary will definitely be good
