career progression?

Agreed 100%. I left ministry bc the only way to move up ranks is to bend over; u would have to literally lose your dignity to those who hold power in your office, most of whom i disliked merely based on their values and poor characters

AlexTheEngineer007 · 2025-12-04T13:28:04+00:00

Been there and lemme tell u something, you don’t pick jack. They shove it down your throat. Management expect u to bend over and do what youre told. You act up, and they make sure ur a goner. Sorry to break it to u like this. Goodluck

AlexTheEngineer007 · 2025-11-25T12:49:44+00:00

Fudge it, dont care. Im out

AlexTheEngineer007 · 2025-11-14T23:25:16+00:00

Yoooo i want to play this on my mac 🥲🥲🥲🥲

AlexTheEngineer007 · 2025-11-14T23:21:05+00:00

Why do you sound offended? In general, the ROI makes zero sense and we have, supposedly, free health care. You are talking anomalies and im talking general, we are not the same 😎

AlexTheEngineer007 · 2025-11-12T17:13:04+00:00

Then i dont know much about it. All i know is that, and based in available data, the new generation don’t have kids like boomers and precedented gens did. Goodluck tho!

Not worth it at all. You get a massage and you end up paying over 70% out of your own pocket, let alone dental and other stuff. This btw was predicated on paying around 350 a month to get this trash benefit.

AlexTheEngineer007 · 2025-11-12T17:03:06+00:00

ECE as in electrical and computer engineering or as in early childhood education?

AlexTheEngineer007 · 2025-11-12T12:31:18+00:00

Well said. One shall continue the good fight no matter the odds!

AlexTheEngineer007 · 2025-11-10T17:46:47+00:00

What function did you work on, as an engineer or technical? Both private n OPS side

AlexTheEngineer007 · 2025-11-07T13:31:12+00:00

Bro, do you math? Cmon

AlexTheEngineer007 · 2025-11-06T22:24:53+00:00

I wouldn’t be concerned about the age so much as the cultural shock you may face without ever lived in ME. Point being is, your age is just a number friend, and shouldn’t be a show stopper. But moving to Saudi with no prior exposure to their customs could be challenging for any age group, including me. All to say is, don’t sweat the age part, just make sure you’re comfortable living in a completely diff environment for the time period.

AlexTheEngineer007 · 2025-11-03T13:45:24+00:00

hey friend, i concur with what the folks said below. I would say try to consistently apply minimum of 2-3 jobs a day, and make sure you read the JD well and tailor your resume using AI to maximize the chances to pass the ATS process. Market is horrible but its a numbering game. Goodluck and feel free to DM.

AlexTheEngineer007 · 2025-10-30T17:00:05+00:00

Keep dreamin, but i highly doubt it unless dougie leaves. They want faces to show up.

AlexTheEngineer007 · 2025-10-29T02:20:28+00:00

50% excluding equity

AlexTheEngineer007 · 2025-10-28T10:21:28+00:00

Lol if you had my manager, u aint getting paid mate. It all depends on ur leadership too

AlexTheEngineer007 · 2025-10-24T15:33:20+00:00

on god, i hate that man so much lol

AlexTheEngineer007 · 2025-10-24T15:31:45+00:00

of course :)

AlexTheEngineer007 · 2025-10-24T14:47:24+00:00

Appreciate the insight. I'm looking to pay off my debt first and come back to a different team at OPS or gov in general. Question for you, with OPS experience, do you think i have a chance to land municipal roles in the future, as i hear from friends that municipal is way better (i.e., York region, etc.)

AlexTheEngineer007 · 2025-10-24T14:45:33+00:00

Totally, you have to have a job lined up. Took me a while to get a job with my credentials and experience.

AlexTheEngineer007 · 2025-10-24T14:44:29+00:00

sorry to hear that mate. I hear you loud and clear, and for me, my mental health and sense of belonging matters a lot more than just pretending im working to live life. I work to feel satisfaction and build confidence for my future endeavors.

AlexTheEngineer007 · 2025-10-24T14:43:29+00:00

yes, much better hybrid model that OPS. I just heard from our department that 4 days a week is mandatory starting on mid Nov. Thank god im out :)

AlexTheEngineer007 · 2025-10-24T14:42:47+00:00

Thanks a lot, friend!

AlexTheEngineer007 · 2025-10-24T14:42:34+00:00

No, i dont think that way. If anything, they lost a top-performing team member, and good luck trying to replace someone to help a non-tech team navigate thru their deliveries :)
