Should I change jobs?
Thread Content
I currently work at a small factory that specializes in the further processing of tetrahydrocarbons; working in the control room there is quite comfortable. Now I have applied for a job at a large methanol plant in the coal chemical industry. People are asking me whether I should take this offer or not. Which field offers better prospects for career development – the further processing of tetrahydrocarbons or coal-based methanol production? The salary at the methanol plant seems to be slightly better than what I have now
Will the tasks involved in your new position help you improve? Will you be able to manage taking care of your family? Has the income increased?
Move people and they’ll thrive; move trees and they’ll die； If you feel good, then jump!
I’m not very familiar with either of the two majors you mentioned, but I personally think it’s better to choose one with better career prospects; the salary is just temporary, after all
I won’t take action unless the income doubles; every industry experiences ups and downs, and it’s hard to say which one is better – it depends on the market
Personally, I think it’s better to choose a path with better prospects; the salary is only temporary
Money is king; for now, go where there’s the most money
Which has more potential: methanol production from coal and propylene synthesis via C4 cracking, or aromatization?
None of them are that good! It seems the units you worked on before were for propylene production via C4 cracking and aromatization. I think these two sets of devices are likely to result in a loss. In the long run, coal-based methanol is relatively better; these enterprises are large, so they take longer to fail, and they have access to substantial bank loans, so the local authorities will not let them go under easily. But I guess you might be in Shandong; going to the northwest would mean being further away from home, which needs to be taken into consideration. Just paying more money sometimes isn’t worth it.
That is, I’m planning to go to the northwest to work in the coal-based methanol and olefin industry; I’ve heard that the returns there are quite good
They are all relatively close to home; I’m also in the northwest right now
