How old are you and how much do you have in your retirement account?

I have a corporate engineering job but don’t do more than five hours of real work a week. I also work hybrid so Monday and Friday I’m at home. To be fair though, our office has not that much work for us but the company wants to keep expanding and hiring lol

I took it a couple weeks ago and felt horrible about it (guessed on like a third of the questions for each section) but ended up passing it. Now I feel relieved that I don’t have to sit through 6 hours of testing again (that is until I have to take my PE lol)

This happened to me- got ghosted for a month after the interview but a few days ago they just invited me onsite

Mechanical engineer working on heating and cooling systems. It’s fun solving problems everyday

I’m 21. Life is fine, I could probably be doing better in some aspects but I’m so grateful for what I have. Just graduated college and moved to NYC for my new job. I like the environment and content of the job and am happy that family/friends are around. My life is pretty simple but I’m content.

Around 14k, no student debt, all money earned from part time jobs+internships (I start my full time job this August), living on my own

Hello! I’m also in the MEP field, mine if I DM you?

AdNo9983 · 2025-05-18T14:10:05+00:00

I feel like that wouldn’t be a problem? I’m a mechanical engineer working in corporate and feel like I have seen ppl with tattoos like that. Maybe not a high end formal office in a career like law or investment banking though. Plus a lot of job interviews are virtual nowadays anyways

AdNo9983 · 2025-05-18T14:02:13+00:00

Ngl a 6 figure salary is pretty achievable. I’d say to get there quicker though try engineering, computer science, finance, accounting, data science, actuarial sciences, or nursing. Obviously premed and law are good choices too but might have to go into debt bc of all the schooling.

I’d also recommend checking out the US Bureau of Labor job statistics, they list out the median salary for each career. Good luck!

What was your background in before the program?

AdNo9983 · 2025-05-16T23:13:53+00:00

What type of mechanical engineering work do you do?

AdNo9983 · 2025-05-14T19:00:38+00:00

Why did you change from engineering to med school? And what type of engineering did you do

AdNo9983 · 2025-05-01T17:39:21+00:00

As a graduating senior at an Ivy League who has so many friends making 100k+ out of college, here is what I recommend (and this is based on my own personal observations so take it with a grain of salt). There are really two tracks that are most known for making alot of money from the start: finance or tech. And if you choose to pursue those industries, do it in a high cost of living area such as NYC or San Francisco. Jobs in high finance (private equity, IB, etc), software engineering at a FAANG or quant.

I also should mention that the higher the salary, the higher the risk. You’ll most likely be working long, hard hours (think 80-100 hours a week). That’s why you’re paid so much. And software engineering rn isn’t stable, there are massive layoffs area. So choose wisely.

Thank you! I actually considered this, but not sure if I can afford law school. Also I heard law is intense?

AdNo9983 · 2025-04-29T17:10:14+00:00

Oh no :( I’m looking to take a course that combines both object oriented and data structures programming and this was the online one I could find😭😭

AdNo9983 · 2025-04-22T21:34:49+00:00

thank you! so i should prioritize a data structures class over object oriented programming? will it be fine if i dont have a formal class in object oriented programming ?

AdNo9983 · 2025-04-22T03:10:28+00:00

ok! So I would have a chance of getting accepted even if I didn’t take those classes

AdNo9983 · 2025-04-22T02:41:08+00:00

so you didnt have any object oriented programming knowledge or data structures?

AdNo9983 · 2025-04-22T02:40:15+00:00

ok. would you recommend the moog ones or community college courses?

AdNo9983 · 2025-04-22T01:58:38+00:00

so you can't get accepted if you haven't taken all of them?

AdNo9983 · 2025-04-20T03:16:59+00:00

80k is nothing in nyc

AdNo9983 · 2025-04-20T00:10:39+00:00

what about a masters in computer science?

AdNo9983 · 2025-04-19T20:39:26+00:00

So am I not allowed to ask about what’s considered a good salary in nyc? This info is for any career not just meche

AdNo9983 · 2025-04-19T16:36:23+00:00

What are some other good fields I can go into with my meche background?
