From design to production – please share your thoughts
Thread Content
I am currently working on design at a chemical machinery factory. But the salary is low, only 1,700 or 1,800 per month. This industry already has low profits, and there isn’t much work either. I have only been working for two years. All the work is given to the elderly. There’s a private chemical company that wants me now. The company has not started production yet, so there is a shortage of staff. The initial investment is around 3 billion yuan, for the production of polyester and engineering plastics. Should I go or not? At this point, it’s probably about working as a equipment technician.
1,700 or 1,800 – the salary is way too low; skilled workers now earn over 3,000. If you feel like you can’t hold on, then quit.
Since the new company has not yet started operations, it is likely to be in the infrastructure construction phase or preparing to enter the trial production stage. It would be a good choice to join such a company; it might be tough at first, but it provides an opportunity for self-improvement. Especially in new factories, there is usually a need for staff, and with hard work, one might be given important responsibilities by the company. In other words, the prospects are fairly promising.
One could consider starting from scratch and putting in the effort
I guess I have to start from scratch. It’s not easy to switch from design to manufacturing
You must go; the chances are quite good, and it has a promising future
Don’t be silly; change companies. If you work in engineering, you might consider learning more about it. As for the chemical industry, not only the environmental aspects need to be taken into account, but safety issues as well
It is advised to consider this carefully; the chemical industry, in terms of both environmental impact and level of danger, is nothing compared to the design industry. Although earnings in the chemical industry have been fairly good in recent years, its workers are risking their lives at work – after working there for several years, how many of them remain in good health? If possible, it is still recommended to stay in the design industry; choosing another field would mean starting from scratch.
OP, I have to say your idea is quite unconventional. The salary for those working in mechanical design is higher than that for those in chemical engineering design, while in the long run, the salary for chemical engineering design is much higher than that in factories. You, however, plan to switch from mechanical design to working in a factory. Don’t switch to a sector with relatively higher salaries just because your current job pays little……
Okay, not bad at all~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think the design industry is better. The environment in chemical plants is really poor and not good for one’s health; it gets even worse when there are shift work requirements. The design industry focuses on long-term development; since this company offers poor compensation, one can move to another design firm – the compensation there is likely to be better!
