Hey folks, I’m about a year into my new SE career and looking to continue to invest in professional skills. I’ve obviously been thrown into the fire learning the sales side of things, but what areas (technical skills, certs, books, etc.) you all would recommend I look to invest in? I’ve been looking at some beginner coding boot camps and scrum product owner certs, but interested in what you all have done to further advance your career
Hello, I'm a chemical engineer working as a project engineer currently, but my 1st job out of college was in process engineering. I dont have experience with field service engineering, but I would recommend you go for the full time job offer. Stay there at least 3 years or so to get some experience, then look for a different role if FE ends up not being a good fit for you. Then you'll have experience in both FE and PE and that could open up more opportunities for later on.
Hi i needed some advice! I have 1yoe in manufacturing and I'm looking to go into project engineer role. It's not a huge department but the work load is immense and I usually see people working overtime a lot! What would be a good base salary to ask for? I know the conditions are not the best in manufacturing and all the health hazards.
Which one is aligned with your career goals?
I had a chat about it with my co-op supervisor . He was more focused with job security since it’s not guaranteed I’ll get an EIT or full time position here ( the EIT positions are highly competitive) and should try out the full time offer.
That’s another point but I’m also looking at the bigger picture and the impacts.
I do have a meeting with a chemical engineer later in the week.
