Let’s conduct a survey; everyone might as well share their own situations. After all, there are many colleagues on the forum who earn low salaries but perform highly, and they might worth considering when thinking about changing jobs. Of course, the salary is also related to the cost of living in the city. Example: Position: Instrument Technician; Years of experience: 4; Annual salary: 87,000; City: Ningbo
Position: On-site instrument maintenance technician (responsible for local pressure gauges, magnetic flip switches, as well as the maintenance of main equipment). Years of experience: 8 years. Annual salary: 60,000 yuan (excluding various insurances). City: Hegang City
Position: Field Instrumentation Engineer. Years of experience: 7 years. Annual salary: an average of 4,500 per month after deductions. City: Urumqi
I really want to change careers! I’m in an iron and steel company! It feels like there’s no light ahead, and it’s impossible to achieve anything! I’m thinking about changing my career to work in the field of construction machinery, heavy trucks, and electronic circuits. What do you all think? There are also various sensors in the car now!
How many industries actually offer high salaries these days? All are at a medium level
80,000 per year is considered above average. I work at a decent petrochemical company under Sinopec, and my salary is above average. The only thing that bothers me is the fact that the field of instrumentation is too marginalized; there are fewer opportunities for career advancement in this area compared to fields such as process engineering or equipment engineering.
Before tax or after tax? What about other benefits and perks?
Well, this is related to the industry and the performance of one’s own company. I work in the power industry; there is no power shortage in the north, and the monthly salary for instrument technicians or even ordinary technicians in large power plants is only around six to seven thousand ； On the contrary, the south suffers from power shortages, and instrument technicians at large power plants often earn monthly salaries of over 10,000. When I first started working, I went to training; my mentor came from a steel plant in the Northeast. His monthly salary was originally two or three thousand yuan, but after joining the technical service team at a nuclear power plant in Guangdong, it rose to over ten thousand yuan per month. Later on, I heard various other stories such as those of couples who worked at two power plants located in the north and south of the same group, with the salary for the same position being twice as different……
I don’t dare to sunbathe; it’s too embarrassing :(
Instrumentation is a technical field that requires a high level of depth and breadth, and it offers good career prospects.
