This shouldn’t be news to people but it is.
Unfortunately, Many are getting impacted by today's layoffs across the organisations and it is super hard to cope up mentally and financially. I came across few openings related to Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) consultants, experience ranging 4-12 Yrs. Please reach out to Teja Chandrashekar (teja@vdigitise.com), Phone: 7672030466. Hope this can help some of you to get back onto the feet. Kindly like, comment or share for better reach. Thanks much!! #experience #share #help #consultants
Hello Everyone,
I am a fresher with over 9+ months of experience as a Data Engineer at Tata Consultancy .
I just needed some suggestions from you experienced folks.🙏
In my current project my colleagues have over 6+ years of experience and are not very supportive and scold me for unnecessary reasons, which is effecting my mental health.😔
Also I am not getting to learn anything.

Northeastern for sure. Their co-op program is incredibly unique and valuable especially for engineering
North eastern has a coop program and honestly it is so valuable. I got my first coop my sophomore year at a fortune 50 company in the engineering space. They offered to keep me part time through college paying me $30 an hour. Before I graduated they signed me on for 70k plus stocks and sign on bonus. 1 year out of college I had 4 years of experience on my resume and came over to consulting making 120.
Coop is a huge advantage and gives students all the soft skills like how to write emails, set up calendar invites. It also teaches you real tools used in the industry.
Sounds like a winne
Case or Minnesota
Definitely Lehigh, just look at job placement and earning potential after graduation. It’s on the pricey end of that list though
Minnesota, urban campus with easy on campus recruiting for f500, 3m, Medtronic, gen mills
Lehigh, selectivity
Saying Cornell is the same level as UNC and UVA is a pretty big stretch...
I was a meche and looked/got into most of those schools as well. Does your son have a preference where he wants to live after college? Nova/Lehigh place ppl in PA, NY, DC while northeastern for example has more connections in Boston. I don’t think the prestige at the schools is different enough to play a role in this decision....especially for someone who wants to be an engineer. Does he want city/rural? Big/small? Greek life/no Greek? This is what I would care about
These are all great. Also look at schools that have other good programs besides just Mech E. As someone who chose a school for cost and engineering, but then hated engineering it was nice getting lucky with a decent, but not great, business school
UMN - great academics, beautiful campus, Big 10 sports and facilities + Minneapolis is a great city to live in with lots to do and many great companies
I think you should also consider if he wants a big school vs a small school and public vs private since the U is very different than the other 4 schools on his list
Iowa State University
@M2
Iowa State #43 Engineering
Lehigh #63
Villanova # NR
Northeastern #31
Case # #51
Minnesota #31
Pretty up there in the rankings 🤷♂️
Minnesota
Northeastern is an up and coming school, I'd expect it to be better than Case in the next 10 years. It's definitely not as prestigious at the moment but their research portfolio is skyrocketing.
I'd look at where the students exit to and make sure that aligns with what your son is thinking about. I'd expect NE sends most eng to industry and Case probably is a much better feeder into grad programs.
Lehigh-one of the best engineering firms in the country
I didn’t know they went into the private sector ? I thought they stuck to providing 2nd class education
Had he visited all of them prior to C19 closures?
I'd eliminate Villanova from the list, not a differentiated choice, nor as good as the others.
NE is great, and others have mentioned the co-op program. Most schools can do co-op, but none are as strong as NE, Drexel or UDM. Experience of co-op isn't only to make money, but to learn what real engineering is like. Summer internships are NOT close to this.
CWRU & UMN are stronger in midwest, but back to my first question. If he hasn't visited, there is no way to explain the difference between smallish private tech focused and Big 10 broad variety of strong programs.
Does he want a city. Or hate cities? Nothing more urban than NE. Nor more rural than Lehigh on his list.
After time in the Twin Cities and Rochester I moved to Boston. Didn't need a winter coat though people that grew up there did. Coming from CHI he will find it much more mild. Philly is much warmer still.
UMN is a gem for all the reasons already mentioned above if one can withstand the cold
CWRU
Case, one of the best respected in Ohio and US for private (but why would you pay for that when a public option is so much better, i.e. University of Cincinnati).
UC is so overlooked, especially for industrial. And then if you're engineering minded with a creative leaning there's DAAP, #1 Industrial design program *in the world*.
NE
I would look more into culture fit vs caliber of degree IMO. Remembering back to my college days (4 years so not too long ago???), freshmen changed majors and interests like diapers. But I would’ve been so miserable if I hadn’t loved about what I was doing outside of school (clubs, sports) and who I was hanging out with. And most of them came from my major
It’s very possible he will switch majors, he was basically firmly undecided on major going into the process. We ended up deciding on ME because he did like engineering and it’s generally much easier to switch out of engineering than into it.
That doesn’t necessarily help us with the final selection though—we pretty much only applied to schools with decent engineering, business, and liberal arts programs.
Any money from any of these schools?
Yes, but we have a lot saved for his college and don’t want to base the decision primarily on cost.
Case has co-ops too. My wife is a Case grad and did a one year co-op in the middle that was key to her getting job offers during a recession.
Case is a great school, as are some others. But if you're not incorporating other factors such as total cost to attend and "fit", and location the decision methodology is incomplete at best.
Thanks. We are considering fit of course, but it’s a bit harder given that with COVID we cannot go on site for visits.
My older son is a junior at Case (Comp Sci) so as a family we are quite familiar with it, but my younger son isn’t excited about following in his brother’s footsteps, so that may end up being factor against Case in his mind.
