Is it better to work in engineering or in design?
Thread Content
Working in engineering is quite exhausting; what about working in design?
It doesn’t matter which one is good and which one is bad; it depends on individual preferences and personality traits. Design focuses on technology, while engineering (management) emphasizes management and requires a high level of emotional intelligence.
Yes, it’s better to work in technology. Working in management is also an option, but one needs strong patience; in my opinion, it’s not as easy as working in technology
Design work is great; management is really too exhausting and frustrating
The title is clearly incorrect; engineering should include design. LZ probably refers to projects and designs, right?
These days, to work in project management, one generally needs to have a good understanding of many specialized and design-related concepts; otherwise, the construction party will just take advantage of you! Working in project management is exhausting; there are too many problems to solve!
Those in the engineering field may experience some difficulties when moving from technical positions to management roles; entering engineering or project management departments directly might require a period of adaptation and learning.
The question itself is flawed – what engineering, design, etc.? Design is inherently part of engineering. The projects include: project management, design, procurement, supervision, construction, quality inspection, etc.
I understand technology and am good at coordination; I think it’s better to work in engineering
Why does the original poster have doubts? People in technical fields usually aren’t very good at talking and tend to be straightforward； Those who work in project management must be good at communication and management. I think the original poster should first think carefully about what kind of personality they have before making a decision. If you are the type who is straightforward and very \"conventional\" in the way you do things – sticking to rules strictly – then I would advise you to pursue a career in technology or design instead. If you are more ‘smooth’ and good at handling interpersonal relationships at work, you can pursue a career in engineering. It is one’s personality that determines things; one doesn’t do what others say is good.
Support for those upstairs. . . It makes some sense that personality determines destiny
