IET Membership Renewal or not

Varun Sharma
Hi All, 


I have been a member of IET for over 15 years now and have earned the title of CEng around 4 years back. 

While I was in UK (until 2014), I was quite active in the IET community but in 2014 when I relcoated to UAE, I couldnt find any local network however have always renewed my membership but must admit havent really gained anything from IET membership at all. 


I have just moved to Paris for a contract job (until March-19, due to extend further in Dec'18) and I am not sure if I should renew my IET Membership as not sure what benefit I will get out of it. 


I have been working on Engineering Design Systems in Oil & Gas industry for last 10 years and cant see how my IET Membership helps in there, in fact even CEng hasnt given me any benefit yet. 


Am I missing something? 


Appreciate your comments/replies/Suggestions


Thanks

    Thanks Simon, 


    My career has taken me into such a niche role in Oil & Gas industry that CEng is not at all an attraction to the employer. 


    I wouldnt say world-wide network as have just relocated to France having spent over 4 years in Middle-East, hardly much presence available there. 


    I am not even sure how in future IET Membership or CEng could help me until I get into Academics. 


    Kind Regards
