10 years in med devices, been through the whole journey - contract work, startup life, now big corporate. Made what I thought was a smart move, staying on the leadership track at the startup instead of taking a principal role. Then layoffs hit, and here I am, still a senior engineer making $120k at my current place. Don't get me wrong, love where I work, but feeling pretty stuck right now. How can I push past senior level when I feel like I should be further along?

How do I get a job as a Mechanical Engineer if I dont have experience?

I couldn’t get an internship while in school. I have a BS in ME and projects from school under my belt. I’ve also passed the FE exam. I’ve been mostly just doing CAD for a company for the last year by creating minimally dimensioned drawings and moving parts around in assemblies. I want to evolve in my career and be doing more. I worked so hard to earn my degree and I feel like I’m not even using it. But who will hire me?

What field is everyone here working in?

How many ME jobs did you apply to before landing your current position?

In your experience have engineering salaries posted on Glassdoor been accurate? I’m seeing many that seem low
