I graduated with a degree in chemical engineering; should I work in production technology or in the sales of chemical raw materials?

I studied chemical engineering processes in college. After graduating, I worked on the production floor of a large state-owned enterprise for two years. Now I want to get into trade and sales of chemical raw materials; I’m not sure how to go about it I’m very confused now – should I stick to production or go into sales? Please give me some advice, thanks

Analyze your own interests, as well as your strengths and weaknesses, and consider your future development prospects.

I’m exactly the opposite of you; we have the same field of study. I first worked in the sales of chemical raw materials before moving on to a technical role. I think it would be great if you could manage well the relationships between sales staff and clients. If you’re not confident in handling relationships or things like drinking with clients, I’d advise you to stick to a technical career instead!

Sales of chemical raw materials? I think working in procurement is okay too; you can eat and drink

First, one needs to understand their own personality and find a path of development that suits them. Second, it is important to identify the advantages, disadvantages, opportunities, and challenges associated with each career (using the SWOT analysis method). The option that fits one best is the right one; a decision should be made after careful consideration

It doesn’t matter what; do whatever will bring in money. In the tech field, it’s best to understand sales; if a product has no market, it’s better to realize that early and look for another opportunity. Those in sales also need to understand technology; if they are not aware of the quality standards of products, production costs, technological advancements, and areas of application, how can they expect to have a market share?

I think it’s good to be in sales; the work on the front line is really tough, and the earnings aren’t as high as those in sales. If you’re looking for a job, join our group. Our beautiful group leader will help you out. It’s mentioned in my signature

It is recommended to work in sales; there is no upper limit to the income one can earn from this field. Pursuing a career in technology is pointless – what kind of technologies exist in the chemical industry anyway? There are so many rules and restrictions that there’s really no room for true technical expertise. In sales, once you build up a network of contacts and channels, you can earn a lot of money. It costs 300,000 yuan per year to hire a technical expert, and there are plenty of graduates with master’s or doctoral degrees available. But hiring a salesperson with good networks still doesn’t cover even one month’s worth of entertainment expenses:$
