I've noticed a pattern in our office lately. The boss leaves around 30 minutes before the end of the day, and then the rest of us start to trickle out. If my work is wrapped up and I won't be getting any new tasks from him, is it professionally acceptable for me to leave a bit early too?

Depends on the company culture. My last company didn’t mind when you walk-in and when you left. One before didn’t mind as long as we were in the office for 8 hour-ish. One before that had a strict 8 a.m. asses on the seat policy (this is pre-Covid) era. I suppose you can figure that out by leaving early for a week. If no one says anything, just keep on doing what is convenient to you.

I’ve noticed on Glassdoor, salaries for my level (Director) are higher than my base but have similar bonus opportunity. At what level of pay gap would you push or make a stink? In hindsight I should have pushed more during the hiring process. At 160k base now, seeing ranges in the 170s to low 180s. These are specific to my current company.

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?
