I am an electrical automation major with a bachelor's degree and one year left to graduate. I want to gain connections and join a power company or thermal power company.

Since you have the connections to enter the power system, of course you have to join the power company. It is not recommended to go to the power plant. The internship period is one year, and the position will be assigned after the internship. After the internship, they will usually be assigned to grassroots departments. The possibility of being assigned to departments is very small. Only those in the accounting and Chinese fields will be in departments. Taking ZJ Province as an example, workers are only paid wages in the first half of the year, and very little hardware deductions are made. After half a year of work, workers start to receive full bonuses. Compared with those old employees, the annual salary is not much different. This year, our municipal bureau has recruited more than 90 people. Our county bureau has nine new college students this month. Only one of them is the child of an employee. The others were recruited from all over the city by the municipal bureau. ZJ Province has restrictions and only goes to those who are stipulated. For school recruitment, colleges and universities not on the list will not be considered (relevant households will be considered separately).

PS: Now the State Grid Corporation of China is cutting salaries. The salary reduction ratio is between 10 and 30%. It may be different in different regions. Ours is not as exaggerated as what the first floor said. What kind of bonuses are huge? Leaders have organized God wants to give out money. Nowadays, the electric power company is promoting the State Grid brand, and all its work is gradually becoming transparent, and the society is paying more and more attention to the monopoly industry. Therefore, the State Grid now requires the following companies to keep a low profile, which directly leads to the loss of money. There is less hair. Of course, these are all afterthoughts after joining the power company.
