Is it better for newcomers to go to a large design institute or a smaller one?
Thread Content
It’s been two years since I graduated, and I’m a bit confused – for newcomers, is it better to work at a large design institute? Is it better to go to a small design firm? In the compound, the specialties are clearly defined, making work more organized; the projects undertaken are large-scale, and one gains broad experience. Working in the courtyard is very demanding and involves a wide range of tasks; one has to pay attention to details related to craftsmanship, pipelines, and equipment. I have indeed learned a lot of knowledge from other fields, but since the projects are small-scale, it feels like my perspective isn’t broad enough. I hope those who have experience can share some tips; are there any compromise options in terms of career paths? Thank you!
In the larger courtyard, one learns to be a person; in the smaller courtyard, one learns to do things. I suggest that LZ spend a few years working hard in the smaller community to learn everything they can, and only then, once they are well-versed, move on to the larger community. I think that no matter the size of a project, there is always something to learn from it. Every project relies on the most basic chemical units, and it really doesn’t matter what kind of project it is.
Hehe, if there’s a choice, I’d recommend the compound first. My wife and I are a clear example of this. I am in the large courtyard; she is in the small courtyard. Based on our actual experiences, my advice to the original poster is that although each option has its advantages, it is still recommended to go to the compound.
I agree with what was said above; I also think it’s better to go to a larger one.
There’s no need to be buried in one’s hometown; everywhere in life, there are green mountains
Let’s go to the compound first; after all, there are some things in the compound that aren’t available in the smaller yard.
Of course, it’s a compound where one can learn many things
Of course it’s the courtyard – it’s cool under the big trees
It’s easy in the compound, and there are many people with long-standing experience, so it’s even easier to learn things there
May I ask which design institute you work for? Do you recruit undergraduate students? Major in chemical engineering technology.
