Title: Struggling to Find Direction in My Mechanical Engineering Career – Advice Needed!
Hi, I’m a Production Supervisor at Tata Electronics, focusing on process and quality improvements in NPI/NSI projects. Lately, I’ve been feeling stuck and questioning my path. I’m considering fields like robotics or renewable energy but unsure how to make the leap. Anxiety and burnout are also making it hard to focus. If anyone’s been through a similar transition, I’d love to hear how you managed
Thanks
