About to start my first job with 22,000 salary
Hello grapevine, graduated recently and about to start my first job as a hardware design engineer with 22000 salary This will be my first real job, would appreciate any tips from you all and how to pump those numbers up.
Pros
- Will be living with parents
- easy commute
Cons
- will be living with parents
- feels like falling in a safety net (lost potential), could have went a lot further if only I had been a little lucky, gave a few good interviews with good semicon companies only to be rejected after a couple rounds with no feedback
Congratulations 👏🎉 for first job focus on building market relevant skills. Try to secure a project which will give you the learning opportunities. Don't equate pay=work currently. Put in the extra efforts, you might not get to learn everything just from the projects. Make the best out of what you have secured. And try switching after 2-3 years, the first switch takes time.
Also, don't compare with anyone. You are not falling behind. You will never be late. We all started somewhere. Wishing you the best ❤️🤞
Thank you for your wisdom, will keep that in mind
I would suggest learn 3d modelling and printing basics so you can design and 3d print your own devices/gadgets to sell. It's good money.
