QUOTE(shoesrgreatrite @ Mar 19 2021, 05:54 PM) I took the job because at that time I needed a job to sustain. It was a good offer, a graduate program actually. But it was totally unrelated to my field. The salary..was wayyyyyy more. hahaahaha. I was on probation, but had permanent staff benefits. Everything was good from the benefits to salary. BUT the field was never what i wanted. I am not performing in it even after 4 months.. but it was a good experience trying something out of my field. When i got the PETRONAS gees, I didnt think twice because working in PETRONAS was always my ambition. The positoin they assigned is abit baffling, project cost controller? But its okay, I am willing to learn and try my best.. What is your background for them to assign u as a project cost controller?

QUOTE(shoesrgreatrite @ Mar 23 2021, 11:57 AM) In your opinion, after a year of training as project cost control, would it be easy to jump to another place as project engineer? Since it is still under the project management branch? Im not qualified to answer your query. All i can say is project control falls under project planning, and to master planning i.e. understanding the project work flow etc. you need to be hands on i.e. being on site and learn the process e.g why task A require 3 days to complete why task B require 2 days to complete. From there you move up to become planner / project control then can become project manager since you already understand the process. My take is that since you are new in the job market, to gain more technical knowledge, working with the vendors i.e. construction contractors (since your background is civil eng) is better in the long run to shape your technical competence. Not saying working in pet is bad, its good but in the long run it grooms you to become manager but not a better technical person. What do managers do? they delegate, delegate & delegate. Not much technical competency is required depends on your skill group. This post has been edited by Rorschach85: Mar 23 2021, 03:57 PM
