Do design work

Big design firms like SEI, Tianchen, and Huanqiu are certainly great, but as you said, the entry requirements there are very high. Those who study mechanical engineering end up being generalists – they know a bit about everything but aren’t proficient in any one area. haha. Once you work at a design firm or manufacturing plant of moderate size, you’ll realize just how fortunate clients are when it comes to managing projects. It’s also nice to work as a equipment manager in the equipment department or machinery department once a project gets underway. The most important thing is to have a direction and to strive towards it. This is just my opinion; it’s not necessarily correct

You only see the glamorous side of design; if you actually end up working in design, you’ll encounter a whole bunch of problems, and you might not think that way anymore. What was said upstairs is right – “the most important thing is to have a direction and work towards it.” Actually, it doesn’t really matter what you do; the important thing is to be diligent

Many years ago, I had the same thoughts as the original poster, but once I actually joined one of those so-called large design institutes, I found it to be nothing special. Design is a tough job – it applies to any design firm: there are trivial tasks, a need to pay attention to details, constant pressure to deliver work on time, numerous revisions, and late nights working overtime. This job isn’t as easy as it seems! And the so-called technical complexity is just that – it’s merely a skill-based job. In terms of earnings, senior designers certainly cannot earn as much as junior or intermediate project managers. Given the owner’s background, it’s better not to consider working in a design firm – one would have to start from scratch there. Moreover, once you’re used to arranging your own tasks, it will be difficult for you to accept having others tell you what to do once you work in a design firm. How great it is to be Party A – being a project manager is even better than being a designer!

What you say makes a lot of sense. I also regret quitting my job a bit; I’m still looking for work now.

Overtime is indeed a serious issue in design institutes, but the mechanical equipment room is okay; it’s not that stressful compared to other places. I’m not sure if all the hospitals have this room

This department is usually available, whether it’s called a machining machine or something similar. As for whether it’s tough, you’ll know once you get in.

Haha, since I’ve resigned, I should try hard to find a new job; who knows, it might not be a bad thing after all. During the search, one can examine one’s own shortcomings, which in turn helps to determine the direction for effort.

Those working for clients have always thought how simple design can be； When working on design, I always think: once I become the client, I’ll have you produce N versions of the drawings! And hand in all the blueprints within a week! Making you work overtime all night! Keep you busy throughout the holidays! …… ;P
