Can you please stop trolling? People is being serious here. Taxi don't earn $6k too, it has been clarified. Did you just come out of a cave?
I don't think biomed chem engineers are paid that high. I'm from chem engineering, though not working in pharma, but fresh grad is about 3.2k w honors. Unsure of salary progression as my friends are tight lipped about salary.
How much yearly increment did you receive in your last four years expressed as a percentage?
Anyway, I felt that you should make the jump. It's an opportunity to your goal. You mentioned "(supporting) sales manager and do costing/billing/tenders and occasional site supervision", that makes you an assistant manager unofficially. You can gain experience since it's something new, and if you are good you can successfully step up to managerial role in your forties.
Working hours are long, but hard work in beginning is essential.
Hard truth is you are at a disadvantage, with no honors and not a good first job. Why are you staying? You should move on.

I had to do research works + designing of prototype/final products. Salary < 3k for all 4 years. Our products did not sell well in the end. I tried a number of job interviews during these years but the employers prefer someone who can do automation/robot design for design engineer. I have limited experience with automation and did not get any job offer. Luckily this year, I got an offer from a local engineering company as mechanical engineer with salary over 3k. The company provides engineering services (M&E, pumps, ACMV) with staff size of about 100. My job role is to support sales manager and do costing/billing/tenders and occasional site supervision. Working hours are long and no confirmed AWS. I am nearing to my thirties now and I need job stability and would like to be working in a managerial level. Is that a good choice that I made? How can I proceed from there to achieve my dream. Thank you.

It's a bit far fetched for someone at your age and making only <3k to be thinking of being a manager. Most people only become manager near 40s or above.
Unless you are talking about all those fake managerial titles where fresh grads go in a few years then get "promoted" to a fancy title.
