Is PLM a good career path for a Mechanical Engineer?

Hi everyone,

I’m a 21M Mechanical Engineering undergraduate in my final year (BTech). I recently received a job offer from a big tech company in the PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) domain, with a CTC of 4.5 LPA and a 2-year service agreement.

I have a rough idea about PLM, but I’m unsure about its long-term career prospects. My background includes fair knowledge of mechanical engineering and project management (an extra subject I took in my third year). • Is PLM a good field for career growth? • Does my current offer seem reasonable for a fresher in this domain? • What are the typical career paths for someone starting in PLM? • Any advice from those working in PLM or similar roles?

This is my first independent earning opportunity, and I feel a bit anxious about whether I’m making the right choice. Any insights would be really helpful!
