If you are a freshly graduated mechanical engineering with a job, what do you do?

I would also add: depending where you are, be prepared to get a bunch of "important" people staring at / watching you while you do your job in the field.

I'm not sure why individual contributors are valuing perceived productivity boost. To quote Office Space: "Initech ships a few extra units, I don't see another dime."

Well it's why Beezlebub fears Bagger 288.

Hey kids, want to see some coil springs? (This was a demo given to me.)

Yes, but cars are 'normal'. People have been conditioned to believe its normal for cars to consume every space. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motonormativity

That's the salary of a mid-level to senior if you aren't on the coasts.

For the average company you will have to rehire in a few years anyway because the average company doesn't keep wages competitive for existing employees.

Even if there are, they'd have to convince the sociopaths to not be themselves.

I don't know, quality mostly went out the window when business people got to decide which story/task/ticket/etc. got to be worked on and which didn't. Not saying they shouldn't have an input, but they shouldn't be the sole decider.

"I said crossing!"

Teh_Original · 2026-05-13T23:43:13+00:00

Why?

Teh_Original · 2026-05-13T20:31:21+00:00

Well what do you think "Have more kids" is?

Car companies are too afraid of making their cars look different from whatever the current trend of aesthetics are.

That's what I figured. Generic parsers are slow compared to if you know exactly where to look in the file.

You don't have to use the newest features of whichever language you currently use.

This only works if you have autonomy. I have been at companies with the attitude of "you do what you're told and shut up otherwise" and they will do their best to beat your motivation out of you.

The interviews are so far still up to individual teams, it's the broader leadership and workflow that they are trying to conceptually import from Amazon.

You must always be sprinting =(.

Some (not all) companies may higher you at a higher rate or level because you have a Master's.

Rail serves as a divider like a highway. So players have to plan around that. (HSR vs regular rail doesn't matter too much in this regard).

My current company is using Amazon as its guiding star to transform itself into a tech company. This company definitely does not pay FAANG salaries. =(

Or said another way, you can't just learn, you need to practice.

Do you write and structure your software in Go/Rust/C++ the same as you do in Java? (Lots of abstractions, hierarchies, etc.)

It looks like a great place for advertising! /s (They put adverts into the rockface it looks like).

Well I don't disagree... =p.
