I’m currently a Controls Engineer and have been for about 7 years, but I don’t know if I’m happy with it anymore. I haven’t had very much mentorship during my career either, so most of what I know is self taught outside of my degree. I can certainly handle a variety of controls work, but I don’t know if I’m really all that good at it. I’ve just learned to manage through a lot of trial and error. Has anyone else been in a similar situation? What did you do?

I have a machining career. 10 years. I don’t know if I was even there for any of it.

Never had a mentor either. Most of my knowledge are also self thought. I graduate with EE degree but my entire career is in ME. I did recently finish my grad school in Systems Engineering. Work is work. Some times great, some times boring, but never unhappy.

What kind of controls work have you been doing?

I can really use some direction. My background, I've worked 2 years in strategy and am currently coming off an exhausting year 2 in investment banking. I didn't particularly enjoy either role and am not interested in moving over to the buy-side or some monotonous FP&A role. Everybody says there's exit-ops aplenty, but I find myself with less options and even more picky than I did as an ambitious T2 undergrad student. Where do I go from here?
