What is better for a newly graduate engineer :
- Working as an integration engineer with a vendor.
- Working as a RF planing and optimisation engineer with an operator.

If you want money work for a vendor.
If you want to be calm work for an operator.

I think vendor is better place for work, but it depends on what you are interested in.
For me is better to work as integration engineer.
A network that does not fail is a fiction

If you like to make you own decisions under less pressure then work for operator.
If you like to learn and wants to absorb the pressure then work for vendor. Also vendor pays better money than operator but some operator pays better benefits.
Everyone is a genius at least once a year. The real geniuses simply have their bright ideas closer together.

I work for a vendor, and I'd suggest you start with an operator.
And there's no more money in working for vendors, thanks to chinese vendors...

If you want to understand deeply the features & networks. Go work for operators, vendors' philosophy is to "shoot & scuttle" go in fast and hit, try to shoot right for the KPIs targets by whatever means (they have some tricks in the bags like measurement of KPI & drivetests @ 3AM when network load is slightest...tons of other, not to reveal-confidentiality obliged)...U will be under pressure to hit quick and withdraw & move to the next one while working with operators, you will develop a better understanding of traffic-network-optimization-planning (Operators you try to stretch the existing ressources while as vendors you try to sell as much (sites/BTS/nodeB/Equipment) as you can.

yeap, you're 100% right!
1. Vendors makes you sell more and more, not letting you to develop yourself too much, they have strict procedures of "satisfying" customers. You will learn only vendors equip nothing more!Pays are usually better than operator's, but you will have to start almost from the beginning if you change your job frequiently!
2. Operators makes you develop faster becouse they need to get back their invested money(Return of Investment). They usually have equips from different vendors, and this is in your benefit! More, you have a real network to work with, and not vendor's fantesy!
Good luck!

Newly graduate - working for operator is recommended. Working for vendor - lots of pressure, no time to develop.

As a newly graduate , everyone should focus on getting a job rather than deciding Operator or Vendor.
These days market for fresh graduates is saturated.
