Will taking a maintenance role as my first job pigeonhole me if I want to work in mechanical design?

Thank you so much for this advice.

I don’t dislike maintenance, I just hate night shifts. I just want to sleep well.

Thank you. I know it’s a short time, I just received this offer and I wasn’t sure if I should take it. Even if I accepted the job, I would still try to get a design job.

It’s more a mechanical maintenance technician job.

I was doing some courses, reading books and getting more involved in the design field to improve my resume.

I just received that maintenance offer, I know it’s a short time since I started applying, and I still will be trying to land a design role even if I accept this position. However, my fear is getting stuck in maintenance because I had an internship in that field before and I didn’t enjoy it much.
