...irms don’t want to take up freshers as they have to train them for field work. The salary is also low upto the initial 5 years while freshers from other branches are getting double that salary in a beautiful office. (I still remember I got into an AC bus full of IT firm employees while returning from work and was treated like an alien. My shoes were smeared with dried mud patches, hair was dusty, shirt was soiled as I was working on a site where piling work was in progress). Your work timings will vary according to site. If site is away from home then you will have more problems. No Saturday weekend parties with friends or Sunday at home. Sometime your site will not have proper cellphone tower coverage. Extended working hours. No room for even a single error. I think you will start seeing the reason why they avoid it.

Because after completing engineering studies we have mostly theoretical knowledge. So it is very important to understands how things work practically at a site by getting some experience through training on a project site.

Dislikes

Clients that ignore variation claims from their contractors. Contractors can’t be expected to work for free.
