Are the salaries for those working in the chemical industry not high?~
Thread Content
I’m in my third year of working in chemical machinery design; my salary after taxes is 3,000. I used to work in construction, where my salary after taxes was 5,000. In my first year in construction, my salary after taxes was already 3,500. I asked many of my friends in the chemical industry, including those who work for the big oil companies, as well as designers and supervisors, and their salaries aren’t very high. In construction, a project supervisor earned 8,000 or more, which was one rank higher than designers and workers. Is it really the case that the industry in chemistry isn’t valued enough?
It seems to be the case....
It sounds pretty reasonable. . I was completely at a loss for words. . .
Some of my colleagues have left their hometowns to seek opportunities in other places; they get two months of leave each year to visit their families, and by the end of each year they manage to bring back around 100,000~
:(Wages are generally low in the design industry, unless one reaches a management position or higher)
The chemical industry is a real pitfall~~ You’ll regret entering it once you do
It seems to be true indeed! Back then, there were people in our dormitory who worked in the field of automation; they went out to look for jobs. In the same city, the salary for work related to automation was 6,000, while it was only 3,000 for work in the chemical industry – it was a huge blow for them!
I don’t get it – why would the original poster go from high to low? It’s been three years, and you still come to ask. . .
If you aim for larger design institutes and engineering companies, the salary and benefits will be much higher
