Should I give precedence to the role or the company while accepting a placement offer in the engineering field?

You should consider the following factors before accepting any job offer - 1. Position/Job title - It is really important because this job title will decide your job opportunities in the future when you want to shift to other company. 2. CTC - Of course it is important. You have many expenses and a family to take care of so you need a good package. Out of job role and company try to start with a big brand name and then you can get good jobs later because of that brand name. I would suggest trying to find a job which has both decent job role and a brand name.

It depends on the situation and type of companies as well. If the difference between the standard of the two companies is more or the post difference is much more, then the situation might be different. Let me break my answer- 1. If the post in average status company is very good and on the other hand, you are getting ordinary post in a good company then you should choose the first one. Also, satisfaction is important, as post has nothing to do with your interests. 2. If you are getting average post in a reputed company and a good post in an average company then, you should settle with the first one. The good companies ensures your growth which is very important in engineering life. You will get a lot of scope and opportunities in the big firms as compared to the smaller ones. Hope it helped. Thanks.

See, this doubt is as same as what to give preference to a college or a branch during admissions. And in that perspective, I had an opinion of going for the good college because you can always change the branch in the initial year and a good college definitely has good facilities and opportunities. I would like to say for the jobs in engineering. According to me, go for a good company irrespective of role. I mean choose a halfway, but be inclined more towards the company. You will always have more to learn and explore and rise in a good company. Even if you start with not a very significant role, you can always stick to the company and prove yourself to get the better positions. Think of it like standing at last in a long queue where you can go a lot far from where you are and stand on the top of a small queue. In a large queue, you can always have something to look forward to and always achieve good and go a far beyond. Sticking to a low company will after some time make your life stagnant. I hope that helps. Make a right choice. All the best.

You should rather find a strike balance between both, if you have multiple orders you can offset any one of those parameters, but it is always advised to go for both criteria on top priority. A good organization holds great weightage with its brand recognition and repute for being best if it features in fortune 500 league. On the other hand, a good role makes your life easier with the kind of work you love the most and comfortable with. Students generally look for big names and end up taking roles where they are not comfortable with it which makes their career not thought of. Major IT companies take up students from all branches of Engineering irrespective of coding knowledge. Thus, students take up big brands at cost of irrelevant roles which takes their career path onto new routes and destination which is not good for them in long run. Hence, to conclude it’s wiser to consider both and preparing for them is foremost importance as competition is stiff and opportunities are crunched. All the best.

Hi, When you have more than one offer, then the first thing you should judge the role and position you have been offered which is relating to your interest and passion and whether this job profile will take you to future to achieve your goals. I know several people who took the offer and after many years they realized the particular role and job profile doesn't suit for them and it's already late. It's a wise advise you if get an offer with very lucrative package but if the role doesn't suit you then you have full freedom to go for other choice. The right role/profile will help to bring good package, better company and growth in future. Hope this answer helps you and let me know if anything else.
