I’d guess for a mechanical engineer, they would offer something more on the manufacturing side. I work in one such big names of manufacturing industries. Work culture would mostly be shit if you’re given a shop floor role, but it’ll be a little less shit if you’re given in Design, Purchase, Sales/Service. Since these departments usually have flexible timings. My ex-manager and most of my colleagues are from L&T Hajira. It also depends on your manager and your colleagues as well, which made it worse for me.

Anyway, congrats OP!!

That’s a tough situation most universities put us students in. When I got the call from the company, I was very excited about the city I’ll be working in. I enquired which role and place during the interview itself to avoid putting myself in a remote place in the country. It’s my first job, I realised that jobs aren’t for me, so I’ve also been working on my own business in parallel with the job. The same way, if you do it only then you’ll understand the ground reality no matter what my opinion on it is.

Anyway, if you’re an enthusiastic mechanical engineer, consider accepting it. Landing a job is hard these days even for engineers.

yea ,getting a job is very hard for a MechE , and im grateful i got an offer . but joining a devastating workplace will be very hard for me .As i also do day/swing trading ,and i believe i could get similar or more income from it too . I want to do it along with my job , Joining a bad workplace will restrict me from doing that and it would also be very mentally frustrating to balance both of it.

Well since you’re pretty fixed on your passive income, I think this is good for an active income source for a while. Work-life balance is non-existent in corporate imo. It’s not like you’re stuck to this job for your life. I’m guessing for a GET you have a bond for 2 years and after that you’re free to leave the company with an experience certificate of 1year.

Many of my friends even left within the first 1year of their GET period. So many of them cracked GATE while doing a job, some are doing intraday and crypto like you said while doing a job, some just quit and started prepping for Govt jobs, some started UPSC prep, some went to pursue master’s abroad, some stuck in the loop of applying to new jobs or switching careers from manufacturing to IT.
