Career Guidance: Job Market and Salary Expectations for an M.Tech Product Design Student.

I am currently in the final year of my M.Tech in Product Design and Manufacturing, with one year of prior experience as a mechanical design engineer. As I prepare to enter the job market, I would like to understand: What realistic expectations should I have regarding job opportunities in my field? What salary range should I aim for based on my qualifications and experience? Which companies or industries would be the most suitable for someone with my background and interests? I am particularly interested in roles related to design, manufacturing, or R&D and open to working in Chennai or nearby areas. Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Bhai, Have you looked into companies like GE or BHEL? They offer roles in R&D, and they have a lot of openings for M.Tech graduates in manufacturing design.

What technologies are you most interested in? That can really help narrow down the field. I’d suggest looking into IoT, robotics, and automation for future growth opportunities.
