The amount of teamwork required really shocked me. My introverted self was not prepared for that.

I had the misconception that people in this field would not work well with their peers. Like they would be unsocialized and not able to carry on a conversation about anything other than work. Pleasantly surprised

I thought there would be some point where I would have learned all I could about electrical systems, but now I can't believe I ever thought that. The field is so rapidly evolving that it's hard to keep up with. So it's kind of like being in university for the rest of my life

Hi everybody! 😊
I've been working as a Junior Analog Design Engineer for a year and half.
I received a proposal for a Senior Analog Designer role from Bosch in the same city where I am currently working.
Should I wait and build up a few more years of experience before accepting a Senior role or should I jump in and work to fill the gap?
Next year, there will be an important deadline for the project I'm working on and my resignation could be critical for the team, how would you deal with it?
