Should I change jobs?
Thread Content
I am an engineering technician in a large fertilizer equipment department. I graduated from university 6 years ago, and this chemical plant has been under construction for 3 years; I have witnessed this project go from nothing to its current state of stability. But it was taken over by another company in 2008. I’ve been here for 4 years, yet my salary hasn’t changed at all, while those who came from other places and have less work experience and lower educational qualifications than me have had their salaries increased; mine remains unchanged. (Don’t deny my work ability and interpersonal skills); I also learned well how to handle article drafts at the company. I also talked to the company’s general manager (who came from the holding group), and he affirmed my work as well. But when it came to salary, he told me not to worry, saying that I was young and highly educated, so I shouldn’t focus on the current salary, as it would be adjusted. We also have a polysilicon project here, and I was told that the salary there is twice as high as what I get here. But what is the outlook for polysilicon? I had a talk with the head of my former company, and he said that things would be stable there and that the salary and benefits would be adjusted. They advised me not to leave, but I don’t know when my salary will be adjusted or by how much I’m very conflicted right now; I really don’t know what to do. Please, friends, give me some advice. Thank you!
If you want to be exposed to more things, you can change jobs; if there are opportunities for promotion, then stay
Hehe, yes, sometimes it takes time to make adjustments, and one’s hair turns gray in the process. But if you’re confident enough, just go for it.
If the prospects and conditions there are good, and one is confident of being able to do a good job, then considering a career change might be an option.
A tree dies if it’s moved; a person thrives if they move. You might as well give it a try while you’re still young. But before making a decision, it’s best to investigate the place you’re about to go more thoroughly and gain a comprehensive understanding of it, so as to avoid ending up in a situation where it’s worse there than where you were before – by then it will be too late to regret it.
Jump; the previous leader might have deceived you
It seems like you’ve been deceived. I worked in a state-owned enterprise for over 5 years and even became a department manager, yet I still changed jobs without hesitation. Don’t let those old folks mislead you. After working for 6 years, it’s indeed the right time to change jobs. In a state-owned enterprise, if there’s an opportunity, it should become apparent after 6 years.
It seems the original poster needs to consider jumping; they can’t just keep waiting!
Although the exact details aren’t clear, it seems that if things continue like this, not much of one’s youth will be left to wait. It is recommended that the original poster first find out whether there are any prospects for growth in their current company, as well as what conditions exist at the company they want to join – whether they will have better opportunities there. If it suits them, then they should consider it.
The polysilicon project should be very promising. What the boss said takes into account various comprehensive interests; it’s not entirely for your benefit. I suggest you leave for better opportunities!
I should change jobs, but with the severe financial crisis this year, it’s better to wait……
If you’re going to jump, go to a place where you have an advantage.
Jump if you get the chance; your old company would have mentioned it if they wanted to weigh you down! The leadership is dishonest; they deceive people!
Polysilicon has great market potential, so the salaries should be good. :)
Don’t listen to what your boss says; you should change jobs. If the boss really values you, they will consider adjusting your compensation. If nothing happens when you leave, it means your position isn’t that important – so it’s right for you to go
If what you see is all fact, then don’t hesitate – seize the opportunity and take the leap. But for someone with your experience joining a new company, it is recommended not to bring up the issue of your previous salary.
If your boss really wanted to keep you, he would definitely give you a raise. It’s been 6 years with no raise – why stay then? Now that I’ve learned everything the society has to teach, it’s time for me to make the choices!
It is recommended to change jobs. Whether one has a promising future in a particular organization can be seen within one or two years; if there has been no progress after six years, then it’s time to reflect on oneself, summarize the experiences gained and lost over those six years, and decide to change jobs
With the financial crisis going on, where do you think you can go? It’s hard enough to find a job already
If you realize there’s no hope left, then just quit. They say, \"I’m young and have a high level of education; don’t worry about the current salary, things will improve.\" ”It’s like passing gas. Some bosses still write empty checks these days. I jumped in a fit of anger; my situation was similar to yours. Of course, I advise you to find a suitable place before leaving. If you do decide to go, don’t trust what they say when trying to keep you behind – those promises are worthless
Please don’t be hesitant; go quickly.
