Hi just sharing my personal experience for undergrad/fresh graduates as a project engineer in MNC. Just graduated not long ago from local uni and worked for close to a year with starting pay of 3K (no increment yet).

Personally feel that if you don't want to be desk bound then doing traditional project/service engineer roles are the best. You get a good mix between sitting in the office and traveling to site. 55% chance you will get to go overseas easily as well, depending on job requirement and your rate of learning things.

When project kicks off, most likely you will be stuck in office for very long hours purchasing components and doing circuit design. But later on likely to be mostly at customer site once going into execution phase.

Also in contrast to how some people stereotype engineers in the university, communication skills are extremely important. Both written and spoken communications skills are extremely important. Probably more so than in the finance industry. Yes being hardworking always helps and sometimes you need to spend a lot of time going over drawings and diagrams, but make one communication error with the customer and all those hardwork spent on the diagrams is going to go down the drain.
