Production planner job for engineer?

[ngyi0009]

Hi guys/girls,

I'm a Bioengineering graduate with honours from NTU and I'm currently job hunting.

I was just offered a job as a production planner in Shimano, a Japanese MNC. I would be relocated to Kunshan, China and starting salary is $2800 per month with another $1000 as overseas bonus.

Might I ask your views on this package? Is the salary package fair? How is the career path like if I join the Manufacturing industry?

1. What class of honours you are getting?
2. Bioengineering why go shimamo (make bicycle??)
3. You should go Roche or Baxter or other related company for job?

Thanks for replying!

1. I'm getting a 2nd Upper honours.
2. Well basically I'm open to all engineering-related positions. Biotechnological field in SG is not very well developed yet anyway.
3. They don't have vacancies for fresh grads

If you can do without a job I suggest you not take it, as you would be starting your career in a dead-end sector and may find yourself struggling as you move on in future as you will have the burden to find another job to switch careers and have to suffer setbacks and pay cuts just to switch.
