One's background in the design field is extremely important

First of all, it goes without saying how depressed the design industry has been over these past two years. The original poster hasn’t lost their job, nor has their income decreased; in fact, they switched from working in piping to working in process engineering. However, it’s not easy to make progress in this field, and there are many things to reflect on. First category: those institutions under the Ministry of Chemical Industry, as well as the large oil and petrochemical complexes – they are mostly state-owned enterprises. Once you work there, there are two paths for full-time employees: those who are diligent and eager to learn, with strong comprehensive skills, can gradually become experts or leaders. 2. Those who are lazy or unwilling to learn can still get by slowly; even if their skills are poor, they can still live without worries about food and clothing. Second, the second category: privately-owned enterprises of a certain size, state-controlled joint ventures, and second-rate design institutes. There are many skilled professionals in these institutions, including those who came from the first category of organizations and took on some position there. There is a certain level of staff turnover, with people coming from various types of institutes. As for the quality of the drawings, it’s not as good as in top-tier institutions but it’s better than in worse ones. Management is fairly systematic. Things go well when the market conditions are favorable, but in difficult times, those who don’t know how to get along with others, those with short working experience, and those with poor skills are left to face layoffs. Those who are unemployed, please identify yourself accordingly; Category P three – the third type consists of small private enterprises that rely on industries such as oil, petrochemicals, and offshore energy to get access to minor projects, working on mobile units or equipment. While companies in categories one and two can still learn things systematically, companies in this category generally know a little about everything but aren’t proficient in anything specific. There are constant disputes at work, and decisions are made arbitrarily by managers. In short, it’s a frustrating situation. In the field of design, experience is extremely important, and the same holds true for companies as well. Four, the fourth category: human trafficking subsidiaries. With things like hiring external staff or sending people out on assignments, it’s been extremely difficult to find such employees in these past two years. The person who posted this knows many people in this situation – they’re all unemployed. Well, although I’m only 30 years old, how am I supposed to understand all this? With my limited skills, there are so many things I can’t handle.:lol Let’s talk about piping first – there’s no type of piping that we can’t work with, and no 3D piping software that we can’t use. No matter what the device is, whether it’s a distillation tower, a compressor, or large storage tanks, those smaller tanks and heat exchangers are even simpler. We can handle almost everything, but it doesn’t matter at all; it really doesn’t make any difference. . . Because there are no projects. As for process engineering, don’t laugh – the original poster is indeed working in this field right now. Over the past few years, there have been too few large-scale projects, and it’s no longer enough to just know how to do piping work; that’s why I’ve turned to process engineering. It’s really difficult; my skills aren’t even considered decent. Why do people say I’ve been to many places? I’ve worked in units of type one, two, three, and four. The only difference is that I wasn’t a full-time employee in the first type of unit. If I were a full-time employee there, would I still come to Haichuan to talk about such nonsense? ;P Let’s discuss it
