I haven't looked into this but I reckon you'd need to go back to uni for this one. I've heard that electrical engineering is the hardest engineering out there. Civil (I studied this too) is relatively not that hard.

How advanced are you in your career? At the beginning all the engineering courses are basic, so the first knowledge is valid for another engineering course.

Hi , i am an electrical engineer and I would say it is difficult but with the right mindset you could learn a lot , but that doesn’t mean it would be better for you if you enrolle yourself in a master degree about electrical engineering or go and back and study a little bit more in electrical engineering , just for the fact that would give you a complete rol and could be recognized

I've been working at my current job for about a year now and I'm finally beginning to understand how the company works.

It's not easy, though. It's a small company, which means there are only a few of us in each department. There is no dedicated training team, so we all have to learn new things on the fly through trial-and-error or by asking our coworkers for help. The management team seems to be pretty hands off when it comes to project management and project direction, so it's up to us engineers to figure out how we want to spend our time and who we want to work with.
