What after a Bachelors Degree in Electrical Engineering.

In summary, the speaker is currently completing their bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and has a job offer from a good company. They are interested in electric machines, control systems, and power electronics, and are unsure if they should pursue further education in engineering, such as a master's degree, immediately after completing their bachelor's or after gaining 2-5 years of work experience. They also ask for advice on the best type of job for a fresh graduate electrical engineer, wondering if a maintenance job or design engineer profile would be better for learning and growing quickly. They are seeking advice from experienced engineers in the industry.

I am going to complete my bachelors degree in EE in less than six months now. My areas of Interest are Electric Machines, Control Systems and Power Electronics. I am going to enter my final semester in December. I already have a job offer from a very good Company. They have asked me to join once a complete my degree. I want to see myself as very good Technical Person after 10 years from now.

What should i do now?
Do i need any further education in Engineering or Bachelors is more than enough? Should i go for a masters degree in EE right after my bachelors? or should i go for masters degree after 2-5 years of work experience? This is what most people have advised me to do as i have a job offer from a good organisation.

One more thing i want to ask is that what type of job is best for a Fresh Graduate Electrical Engineer to start with. Is Maintenance Job good for Electrical Engineer fresh Graduates. How is Design Engineer profile? I really want a job in which i can learn maximum and grow at fast rate.

I hope i will get good advice from Engineers who are working in industries for some time
