Urgent! ! Work-related issues at Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics

Thread Content

Hello everyone, I have a question. I have an undergraduate degree, and I worked for three years at a company established by a research institute at a university, where my main task was to work on process packages. After that, I moved to a provincial chemical engineering design institute and worked there for one year. At first, there wasn’t much work there, and the salary was quite low; it was a frustrating experience. So I decided to look for another job. I applied to many companies, and several of them were interested in me. But now that I’m familiar with the work at this design institute, there’s more work to do, and I have to work overtime every day. As a result, I haven’t applied to other places. Still, the salary remains low, and the payment for the work I do won’t come until next year. When looking for jobs, I sent my resume to the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics and a team working on coal-to-olefins projects. A few months later, they asked me to solve some problems, and now they say I can go for an interview. The competition ratio is 1:3. My main role will likely be to work on process packages. The head of this team also used to work at major chemical engineering design institutes before coming to the institute. I would like to ask whether I should go for this interview. Is it promising for an undergraduate to work at the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics? What are the prospects in the field of coal-to-olefins? Also, there are family reasons: my wife works at the same company as me; she has a higher educational qualification than me, and her salary is decent. She works in a company located in our province, close to our hometown. Please give me some advice
