Good pay in Taiwan, but working under high pressure
Good pay in Taiwan, but working under high pressure
You can learn a lot if your mindset is positive and humble to learn and ask. There are many, many things you can learn from other departments.
The benefits are not bad. You don't have to be in front of your seat all day; you can walk away, discuss with others, and drink coffee.
There are still some good supervisors.
Normally, you will have several projects which make you feel nervous to give weekly updates. The Manufacturing unit is the most powerful, so you have to solve production issues as soon as you can; otherwise, everybody would call you. It's high pressure. Some supervisors don't help you too much but request you to do many things and don't care about your time or working priorities.
To unqualified managers, you have to stand in your engineers' shoes and care about your engineers' responses.
