Issues about urban planning, graduate school, going abroad, and employment options. I beg you all knowledgeable and understanding experts to help me. Give me all my wealth

1. The salary of graduates will fluctuate with the economic crisis and the domestic five-year plan. Generally speaking, fresh graduates have two possibilities to enter design units and real estate companies.

Entering a design unit: Taking 2011 as an example, it was the time when the economic crisis was easing and the five-year plan was beginning. Therefore, it was very easy for fresh graduates of urban planning in 2011 to find jobs. Fresh graduates with a bachelor's degree could enter some jobs that were not available in previous years. Units that accept undergraduate students (such as Shenzhen Planning Institute, etc.), but the employment situation should be slightly declining in the next few years. Not only is Huaqiao University not one of the top eight universities, but its major in architecture and planning is not very well-known. It is estimated that you can only enter an ordinary design unit, and the first-year salary is estimated to be only 60,000-70,000, depending on the specific unit. The benefits are similar, including five insurances, one housing fund, and housing subsidies. As for the development path, it depends on the starting point of your company and your personal aspirations. As we all know, it is common to change jobs in this industry. About three years is a big cycle. After three years of working, you will either change jobs or improve your status and salary in the company - if If you start from a low level, you can generally move to a more ideal unit after you gain experience; if you start from a high level (such as Shenzhen Institute of Regulation and Regulation), you can be parachuted into a place you like to take a more ideal position. Another development path is to transfer to the real estate industry after working for several years to understand the content of the plan, and continue to develop in the real estate industry based on experience.

If you enter a real estate company as Party A in terms of status, but the salary and benefits are often less than those in a design company, of course the design work you engage in will also be reduced accordingly, and you are basically entering another industry. Moreover, it is basically impossible to transfer back to the planning and design unit in the future.

2. An undergraduate diploma cannot knock on the door of some institutions, such as Shenzhen Planning Institute, Guangzhou Planning Institute, China Planning Institute, Provincial Planning Institute... Even if you enter, it is not a formal establishment. However, it has no effect on other units. After entering the unit, the diploma has no impact, it depends on the strength. Professional title promotion will not be based on academic qualifications first, but first on the time and experience working in the unit. As for whether experience or diploma is more important, there is no way to tell directly. It depends on the unit where you work and the school where you study, and your plans for the future... Just choose what you like. If you don’t want to continue studying, don’t force yourself. If you want to experience the life of a graduate student, go to graduate school

3. Advantages: First, it will really increase relevant knowledge and experience. To be honest, the knowledge gained in undergraduate studies is really very little; second, it is based on a certain school A diploma or the status of a mentor's disciple serves as a stepping stone for individual units.

Besides the old eight schools, there are also some schools that have a certain degree of control in their own regions. For example, Shen Jiangong has his own system in Liaoning. Schools in many places or students of a certain outstanding teacher can study in one Groups in the area are accepted and recognized. If the graduate school is not as good as your undergraduate school, don't go to it. If you are purely aiming for a good job and the tutor you choose does not have such qualifications, you can also consider it. Qualified tutors will introduce jobs. Some qualified tutors can have students in a unit almost every year, and your classmates will try their best to take care of you.

4. If you want to take the exam, take the postgraduate entrance exam after graduation. I have met many working people who say they continue to expand their knowledge, but they can’t let go of work or family matters. Most of those who are studying for graduate school on the job have reached a certain status and want to improve their academic qualifications and study for graduate school on the job. What you learn is limited.

4. Units that can earn RMB 100,000 in the first year of undergraduate graduation are more common in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong. Either domestic design units have relatively high work pressure, or foreign-funded enterprises have relatively high requirements for design standards. . You won't get this amount anywhere else.

The premise of your senior's algorithm is that after graduating from a bachelor's degree, you find a particularly good job unit, and compare it within a three-year period. In fact, using money as a measurement standard, it is possible to find out hundreds of thousands (500,000 is too exaggerated) ). It depends on whether you are short of money. If you measure it based on money, then work; if you have other criteria, such as knowledge, experience or academic qualifications, the result will be different.

Money is the hardest thing to measure. Is there a financial crisis, a national strategy, inflation, a fight...it’s impossible to calculate

5. Studying abroad in urban planning There is such a problem. There is no urban planning as a subject abroad. If you go abroad, you will usually turn to urban design and other related disciplines. One-year postgraduate programs in the UK are not recognized in China. As far as I know, they are also one-year programs in the United States. In short Both the subject content and the academic schedule are completely different from those in China. Since you have returned from studying abroad, your first choice is to join a foreign-funded design unit. These units are mainly concentrated in Shanghai and Beijing. Foreign-funded companies are still relatively popular and have good prospects. Those who have truly learned advanced knowledge and technologies from abroad are also most suitable for foreign companies, because basically what you learn abroad will not be used in the provincial and municipal planning institutes to make new rural master plans or anything like that. Whether at home or abroad, as long as the school is good, there are advantages. If you want to enter the unit, you still have to take the final exam and internship. Regardless of relationships, strength is the most important. Advanced academic research is only available on campus, and opportunities are rare during work. When participating in international bidding, you have the opportunity to play with some advanced gadgets, and foreign-funded companies play more.

Make a bold choice and stick to it! These are my personal thoughts and are for reference only.
