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

I'm reaching the point in my career where visibility in the company is more important for promotions than my technical skills. I hate networking with a burning passion. Should I just give up on getting promotions? I already make more money than I need.

First post, not sure if this is the best bowl to use but here goes. I’m wondering if anyone can share a bit about their experience working at MongoDB. I have seen they are hiring for many roles and am curious to hear about their experience. In particular, I would like to hear about software engineer roles. Currently I work on database engine C++ code and have seen some roles that indicate continuing down this stream would be possible with my skillset.
