I have switched from being on site in O&G, construction field, design in O&G, manufacturing, and now in IT. My opinion to you is to test the water, irrelevant to what others say and as you progress, you will know what you want in your career. Just focus on getting your first job and progress from there. If you are lucky, you will get into a superb M&C paying RM3.5k a month, if you are joining Ah Seng Construction Sdn Bhd, you may end up with a RM2.5k a month. So it all depends.

Yeah I used to be, and then I stopped being an engineer altogether and decided to go for big data field. Some soft skills are definitely transferable.

Depends on your personality. If you are driven and you will not mind working 14 hours a day doing a 4 man job, then join a small firm first. If you are more towards work life balance and want benefits and not overwork, then join a big one. But do remember, big firms look better in resume.

Not outgoing? How are you going to be a consultant? How are you going to consult if you are not outgoing?

Learn more only because you will be stressed to. 14 hours a day, sometimes work weekends. Some small firms will not acknowledge Deepavali as a holiday (if no Indian working there) and will give you only 11 days of stipulated public holiday.

Nope but I got only RM200 increment and additional one month of contractual bonus lol
