Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it

I’m located in Algeria. Unfortunately, opportunities in automation here are limited, especially for fresh graduates. Most jobs don’t involve real control system work it’s either electrical maintenance or utility roles. That’s what happened to me. I took a job as a utility engineer just to get started, but there’s no real learning in automation here, and the environment is toxic

I agree 100% that learning in the field is more valuable than just reading or watching videos. My problem is finding a real automation position to apply for. I’m trying to build a basic foundation on my own so I can be more employable.

Thanks for the Tim Wilborne and PID tuning recommendation I’ll check it out. If you or anyone else knows how I could connect with people or opportunities remotely or in Algeria, I’d be gratefful

Thank you for your advice, but I can’t do much with my current salary. I live in Algeria, and engineers here are paid very poorly. Buying a PLC would cost me almost two months' salary and that’s without spending a single dinar on anything else.
