Yes, sense of accomplishment and satisfaction from our work result.
For living, as mechanical engineer in certain industry, very demotivating.
Only manager/SM and above get to enjoy high pay etc. others are kuli haha

MNC is systematic, you learn about company system, proper work flow, and management
You can be an all rounder with systematic skills
Of course in small company you do all and learn all (but many small company dont have proper work flow/process, and lots of possible politics)
In MNC, and especially if your boss is an expatriate, you learn and you get protection? haha

I am not sure about the potential of chartered engineer.
It's only useful if you're in consulting or construction line which alot of documentation needs your approval for it
In MNC, these are basically useless, because all approval is from HQ.

Like mentioned, MNC company offers better system with proper workflow/documentations.
It might also come with better overall benefits like insurance, dental etc, not to mention you might get the chance to travel overseas.

smaller company alot of hands on, you might be the one going to install the equipment at site together with the technicians instead of just sitting in the office waiting for updates. good if you want like it

IMHO, chartered engineers is useful those involved in approving documents and also tendering projects, other than not that useful (MNC also uses chartered engineer, not necessarily for approval only)
