Thanks for your trust, but as I've mentioned in many of my posts, it's good to post, to be able to let people share your questions together, but to answer by name is really not a good choice. You should know that there are a lot of people in baidu, and I'm so busy that I can't see it every time, so accepting everyone's opinion is the best way. What I said is not necessarily right, just for your reference. So I hope the owner and other friends will not use such a title next time they post. If you trust me, just send me the link message to the post, thanks!
First of all, for your first paragraph of description, my personal evaluation is "nonsense", please do not be angry, I am so blunt because these contents are unimportant. Just pick one, even if it is a university professor, you let him the name of the country's well-known colleges and universities, he can not say much, at most 30 or 40 names at most, to say that these schools are what the characteristics and capabilities, but even more little is known. So the school does not matter, the results are even less important, you first place or last place, anyway, you graduated. As I've said in many of my posts, who's going to look at your college grades when you've been working for a while?CAD doesn't matter either, as I said in a post a couple years ago, something you can get up to speed on in a couple weeks is neither a significant resource nor a key competency, it's just a secondary knockout. So you have a very inaccurate assessment of yourself.
Secondly, you say you can't do anything. I'm not too good at judging this due to incomplete information. But I have to ask, did you do all of your college fine arts internships? Did you just go to bed every time?
And, after all, you are a mechanical design and manufacturing major, you are also going to graduate, then can not say, theoretical mechanics, mechanics of materials, mechanical design foundation, automation theory, these professional courses you are cheating to pass it ? As long as you have passed all the exams on your own, and as long as you went to all the internships, then I don't think you know anything.
About your question:
1. If you don't have any mechanical skill base at all, then it doesn't care about the coast and the mainland. Coastal cities will definitely earn more, but only if you have enough experience, for newbies, then wherever you are, there are fewer machinery-related companies, and the mainland has a lot of authority in machining. So for the first two years of work, I suggest not leaving the environment you are familiar with. It's not just a matter of your technical ability, but also a process of transition from school to society. Leaving your familiar environment to an unfamiliar city, coupled with the lack of ability, it is very easy for you to lose confidence and continue to struggle. So start from your side, accumulate for a period of time, and then look for new breakthroughs.
2. If you're more introverted and, well, sit tight, then you can choose a state-owned enterprise. The system of SOEs is very overwhelming, but at present, SOEs are the only place where the model of masters leading apprentices still exists. If you are not proactive enough and want someone to guide you all the time, then you can go into a state-owned enterprise for two years, but at most two years, don't stay too long. If you are active enough, very active, inquisitive, and able to take the initiative to ask, then you should choose foreign capital, recommended Japanese companies. Because Japanese companies, one very good thing, although the people are cold, but really will teach you a lot of things. As long as you are active enough, as long as you open your mouth to ask, basically there is an answer. Here do not recommend private companies, because the boss are very realistic, they only need to come in as soon as you can work, you can give him to create profits for the people, you obviously do not fit; also do not recommend Taiwan, South Korea companies, because they will only squeeze you. European and American companies are more complicated, this point will be explained separately later.
The larger the company's size, the better, said the small company can learn more, it is because fewer people, accordingly, each person to do more things, in fact, so many things seem to learn, but in fact the practice is very informal. The company is large, that process and system is completely, then although each person accordingly less, but there is an opportunity to teach others, to learn other skills. So self-learning ability is still the most important, as for how to mix in the company, to learn, to ask for advice, and even to steal the teacher, depends on the ability of the individual.
3. Engaged in what industry, I many posts have analyzed in detail, I suggest you refer to my reply to them. My simple reply here, is not recommended to engage in automotive and mold, because many practitioners, competitive pressure, the overall industry level is low. The concept of machine tools is very large, if it is ordinary turning, planing, milling, grinding, punching, and not much fun, it is recommended to engage in CNC, automation, CNC-related machine tools and equipment. In addition, your classification is still divided from the type of work, this point I think the division is too small.
Once I was asked why my profile said telecom, and my answer was that my team is mechanical design, but the products we make are telecom network products, which doesn't conflict. The same, whether it is a machine tool or a mold, specific to the product, it is always different. Let me give you an example, the same mechanical engineers, one designing medical equipment, one designing standard parts, who do you think has a higher income, who has a higher technical content? Obviously the one who designs medical devices has a much higher income and technical ability. So there is an impact on the type of work, and an even bigger impact on the product classification. As I've mentioned in many threads, some of the better product sectors right now are, marine, medical devices, logistics, industrial automation, instrumentation, network facilities, etc.
Mention of wages, the first few years of income will not be high, this point I have repeated many times, the above mentioned state-owned enterprises and Japanese enterprises income are also very general, or that, either do not go this way, to go through. Going halfway and eliminating yourself naturally is the most, most uneconomical choice. When you have accumulated a few years of experience, move to a European or American company or a private company, and you can challenge for a high salary at that time. But no matter how many years, don't waste your foreign language.
There are a lot of projects these days, so that's all for now, thanks!
