I graduated in 2023 currently living in Florida with 3.5 years of experience in aerospace. I got my engineering degree in electrical and I’m wondering if I’m screwed trying to land a job within electrical power or energy? The closest experience I really have within my degree is basic circuit board building, basic circuit design in programs like Pspice, and using a digital oscilloscope. To this day, the closest I can think of that I have experience in is reading low level c code and logic design.

Good luck!

I think you’ll be fine. I work in oil and gas and the number for competent electrical engineers left is dwindling by the day so there’s plenty of space for new people to come in and learn

Power and energy is booming in Florida, aerospace engineering shows you work hard too. Nextera hires plenty and if you can demonstrate you work hard you should be OK

Energy is a field that will always be in demand, aerospace can be more limiting, ebbs and flows at whims of politicians. Circuit board design is not limited to any one field. PS do have an undergrad in aerospace, but spent most of my career designing consumer products.

Does anyone freeze with deadlines, and if so what works for you? Whenever I have a deadline my brain freezes and refuses to work. It used to be that my brain worked overtime right before a deadline - now it refuses to work until after a deadline. I think this is because all of my deadlines are internal and I’ve never had a partner look at anything immediately after a deadline. This is affecting my work obviously - any tips would be useful and appreciated!
