Process line break?
Thread Content
I have a master’s degree in chemical engineering; it’s been over 4 years since I graduated. I’m now almost 30 years old. I work in process engineering. The company is not doing well, so my salary has been reduced, and I haven’t received a salary for several months – no bonuses either. The company’s financial situation is chaotic, and the overall situation is quite messy as well. There is now a job opportunity in research and development at a large listed company; the salary would be higher and more stable than my current one, but the workload and stress levels would be high. If I take this job, my previous experience in process development would be essentially useless, and I’m reluctant to give that up. . . . Do people think it’s better to stay put and wait for a better time for the industry, or to seek stability by switching to a new work environment? Thank you all!
Change jobs for future growth.
How can that be said? It’s a shame that all the hard work I put in before just goes to waste after changing jobs. . .
You can post a debate thread and ask everyone to mention the pros and cons. Women, in terms of family life, do not have the same advantages as men, unless you are prepared to live a dink life.
Learn to reset proactively. If in the future that profession becomes more structured, the companies in it become more reputable, and salaries become more stable, and if there are no people or opportunities within your current company to help you improve, then consider changing jobs. Past knowledge is not necessarily useless; it may even turn into an advantage.
Currently, it is the pharmaceutical, food, and environmental protection industries that are hiring in large numbers. In these fields, so-called research and development involves conducting experiments and processing data; moreover, due to the specialized nature of each company, the areas of research are quite narrow. Therefore, when changing jobs later on, the skills gained won’t be as universally applicable as those related to manufacturing processes. Given the current situation of your company, it’s advisable to change jobs right away. A tough winter is approaching, and money is what really matters. If you look at the government’s economic reports, you’ll see that the chemical industry will face increasing difficulties in the years to come. With many employees laid off by the major oil companies, there will be even more competitors, making it hard to succeed in this field. It’s also a good idea to find a more stable job, learn a foreign language, and obtain some certificates.
Starting a new line basically means starting over~~~~It’s not easy to make that decision
It depends on whether you want comfort or to strive. . .
The hard work you’ve put in before is the capital that will enable you to carry out research and development in the future.
What kind of process engineering is this? Those who work on process design in China are just talking nonsense; research and development is much better – by engaging in R&D, one can still understand the entire process. Besides, having prior experience in process engineering is beneficial for future R&D work.
Change jobs, LZ. Survival is the foundation of development, you know. As for domestic manufacturing techniques, I really can’t agree with that~~~
