Should I go to the technical field or go to the purchasing department?
Thread Content
I am a recent graduate, majoring in chemical machinery! Two days ago, a large local company called me for an interview and asked me to come and work in the purchasing department! I have never been involved in purchasing, so I don’t know if there are any development prospects! It’s very contradictory whether to work in technology or go to the purchasing department! I hope someone who has been there can help! Thanks
Once you work, you will experience that doing crafts must be boring and hard. Dealing with customers all day long in purchasing is a waste of time! Of course, I am talking about state-owned enterprises. Haha, I have taught the children badly, but there is nothing I can do.
It depends on which one your personality is more suitable for. If you can drink and brag, then go for purchasing. If you are the kind of person who can work hard, then go for technology. Anyway, no matter what you do, it won't matter.
Men are afraid of getting into the wrong profession and should be cautious. If you are an introvert and go shopping, socializing and drinking all day long will be very tiring psychologically.
If you have the opportunity, it would be best to do technical work first and then purchase. You can make many friends by doing purchasing.
Since you have the opportunity, why not go? There is gray income from purchasing. Engage in technology and get a dead salary.
First, decide which line of work you like. As the 6th floor said, income from purchasing is more flexible. Haha, if you like to do research, just do technology.
Doing technology is very boring. It is better to contact more things through purchasing. From my personal point of view, I recommend purchasing.
It is recommended that you do procurement. In fact, you need to understand technology when doing procurement. An important part of procurement is to understand the procurement documents, especially the technical requirements. In addition, you need to evaluate the supplier. Going to the supplier is not just to eat and drink, but to see whether the supplier's technical capabilities and production capabilities meet the order requirements. In addition, you must also practice* As your social skills accumulate over time, your abilities will become stronger and stronger. Purely technical work is good for solidifying one's own foundation, but what the person above said is right, it is relatively monotonous and mediocre, and the future of success is far away.
Brother, be careful, do purchasing first. If it doesn’t work, you can also go back to technology, purchasing will be much more economical - good advice.
Where is it? . . Alas, it's not working yet. . Confused.
Purchasing does not have to be just about spending time and debauching, at least you should have certain professional knowledge and be responsible for everything you do.
I don't know exactly what kind of company the poster works for, but I can give my thoughts based on my own experience. After graduation, I have been working in technology for foreign companies in Europe and the United States for almost three years. Then by chance, I joined the purchasing department of my current company to manage suppliers. How should I put it? In fact, I think it is more important to combine your own personality. From a purely background perspective, if you learn technology first and then engage in purchasing, you will have certain advantages. But in terms of personality, procurement requires the ability to deal with people, and those who are engaged in technology are relatively simple in this regard.
Make purchases. Start with materials. I was enlightened by the old man from Toyo Engineering Company. . .
It would be great if I had the opportunity to do technology first and then purchase! Those who understand a little bit of technology and do procurement will develop better than those who directly do procurement. This can be seen from the development of colleagues around them!
Go shopping! There is basically no debate about this!
Technology is the foundation. Personally, I think you can do technology first and then transfer. It will be more effective with half the effort if you first understand the company's technology and then do procurement.
It would be better if you could choose to do technology first and then do procurement. I think doing technology is like laying the foundation, but you can’t do technology all your life.
Agree with the 21st floor. It is impossible to become old with technology. It’s good to start with technology and then purchase.
