Dear seniors, I would like to ask you to help me analyze this: I graduated in 2009 with a bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering and Technology. I currently work as an engineer assistant at a private company in Beijing. I would like to ask, for someone in my situation, what salary is considered normal? In 2010, a person specialized in refrigeration joined our company; just like me, he had also started working here right after graduating, as an engineering assistant. But his salary is higher than mine, which makes me feel a bit upset. If there are seniors who are aware of the market rates, please tell me what salary would be considered normal in my situation Thank you:(
The starting salary should be high from the beginning; otherwise, it will be difficult to ask for a raise later. For those who have just graduated, 35 thousand is sufficient in the field of engineering
Reply to 2# cqfblue: I just found out now – my salary is actually so pitiful
Different regions are not comparable. Beijing should be a bit higher; in Shandong, it’s around over a thousand
The salaries in Beijing and Shanghai should be higher; the cost of living there is too high
Reply to 1# juqinying: Different jobs come with different salaries; if you think your work isn’t matched by your earnings, then change jobs. By income, I don’t just mean salary
Reply to 6#: I graduated from Muziyuan not long ago, and it’s not very good to keep changing jobs
Reply to 7# juqinying: Changing jobs isn’t necessarily related to working hours; the key is to consider the overall situation. I changed jobs within less than a year after graduating, and if the new company offers better opportunities and benefits, why not go for it?
Reply to 8# Wang Rongxiang, thank you
