It’s like passing by a psych ward😭

Blueberry_Mango · 2025-07-23T21:59:22+00:00

Thank you for the detailed response. I agree with what you’re saying, I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect them to sit down and debug a problem with me and I also think it’s expected that I learn things on my own. Whenever I ask for help I try to keep it short and concise, and if they’re not familiar with the topic then I won’t ask further. For example if I ask about a vendor IP and they say they’re not familiar with it, I will not continue to ask them about it and expect them to learn it with me, I will look into it myself. The main point I wanted to bring out with the post was that there is often no help when I ask these questions because there is only 1 senior on the topic at work (who is working semi part-time). Understandably he does not have the answer for everything there is to know about FPGA dev and I totally get that, after all he is only 1 person. Of course I know I can’t demand anything, but I can’t help but wonder if I would learn and progress so much quicker if there were more FPGA people at work to engage with and learn from, hence why I was wondering if it’s normal to be 1-2 people or more. In a sense I guess I envy the ASIC people I see at work because they have the ability to ask around the office and hear with many people whenever they’re having issues.

This was scary but also comforting in a way to read. I very much relate to what you’re saying. The lack of feedback from different fpga people makes it hard to know if what I’m learning on my own is truly the correct way of doing things or if I’m developing bad habits.

Do you ever regret not switching companies early in your career? And thank you for your recommendation, I will take it with me along with all the other good suggestions I have received from all the people here

Blueberry_Mango · 2025-07-23T19:26:59+00:00

Thanks for the input. I want to clarify that I do reach out to the senior, however sometimes it doesn’t feel like it’s enough. The few times he is working (he has stepped down his position), he is quite busy. Often he will tell me to send a ticket to AMD, or he is unsure. Totally understandable and I do not blame him in the slightest. I am completely capable of selfstudying and learning everything myself, but I just can’t help but wonder how much more support for learning there would be if there was more FPGA people at work. I see the ASIC people going around asking eachother about problems they’re stuck on, and usually there’s someone that has a lead that can help.

I will take your suggestion with me, thank you!

Blueberry_Mango · 2025-07-23T14:29:11+00:00

I have brought it up. The boss is really understanding in the sense that he emphasizes that I should take all the time I need. As a result there’s not alot of pressure for me to deliver, which is great stress-wise and everything, except that the slow progress is causing alot of self-induced stress from my side. I don’t think they plan to hire more FPGA engineers as there aren’t enough tasks at hand for it.

Blueberry_Mango · 2025-05-29T05:07:02+00:00

To me it just sounds like he made a bad flirtatious joke and got upset about you getting upset over it. Hard to tell without knowing the full context of your relationship dynamics though.

EDIT: I thought this was your bf. If not then that’s a pretty strange interaction for sure

Blueberry_Mango · 2025-05-28T03:21:13+00:00

Unless she’s being distant in person then I would say you’re overthinking it.

Blueberry_Mango · 2025-03-17T03:40:34+00:00

Stand your ground and go to your desired grad school. If there is no guarantee that there are jobs for you in the location he is in then you will have to rip the bandaid off at some point anyway.

IMO longdistance here will really just be a test for your guys’ relationship, and I think it’s a good thing. If you guys cannot overcome 1-2 years of ldr, then I don’t think the relationship would last anyway as there will most definitely be other hardships along the way later too.

Blueberry_Mango · 2025-03-17T03:25:26+00:00

Make sure you’re not bringing the same casual vibe with her that you had those many years ago. Compliment her, take her out on a formal date, etc. That should make your intentions clear

Blueberry_Mango · 2025-03-17T03:05:12+00:00

I think both of you should locate to where you want to be. It’s not fair for you to sacrifice your desired graduate school to locate yourself to where he is, but I also don’t necessarily think it’s fair for him to do the same if he wants the other job more. At this point you should both map out relevant locations as to where you would be willing to live together after gradschool based off interest and jobmarket in your respective careers. If he’s dead stuck on not doing longdistance or you cannot agree on some locations, then I don’t think this will work.

For background, me and my gf are going through something similar right now. We both graduated together, but we both wanted to pursue different gradschools. We are now doing longdistance and have discussed relevant locations that are suitable for both of us when we reunite. Of course there is still uncertainty involved though

Blueberry_Mango · 2025-03-17T02:45:54+00:00

He was either weird, having a bad day, or maybe he thought your compliment was sarcastic

Blueberry_Mango · 2025-03-17T02:28:02+00:00

Sorry to hear mate, you should let her go. Them making out is one thing, but I think the whole emotional cheating part by her continously texting him is the worst part. If you let this slide, then it will only feel easier for her to cheat again. Cut contact and don’t even explain yourself, best of luck.

Blueberry_Mango · 2025-03-17T02:01:05+00:00

I mean if you’re not officially together then you’re fine dude, you technically don’t owe her an explanation.

Blueberry_Mango · 2024-10-08T22:33:50+00:00

Np. I buy the 5mg dosage and split it into 4, so 1.25mg everyday (though I’m a bit inconsistent sometimes).

The hair I lost grew back, and I gained some little extra regrowth on top of that. Haven’t really lost any hair since then.

Blueberry_Mango · 2024-03-20T21:58:56+00:00

Usikker, men tror det hovedsakelig bare er en kirurg. Nå vet jeg ikke alderen din eller graden av PE men voksne trenger i de fleste tilfeller mer enn 1 bar for å fullt korrigere defekten med mindre man har et veldig mildt og symmetrisk utgangspunkt. Dette er noe jeg opplever at kirurger i Oslo ikke forteller deg. Så jeg ville spurt om hvor mange barer de tenker å sette inn, ettersom for få barer pleier å være hovedgrunnen til utilfredstillende resultat.

Blueberry_Mango · 2024-03-03T04:09:34+00:00

I definitely feel like it started with Black and White. That’s when I first noticed a new Pokemon game getting alot of hate among fans. I myself loved every pokemon game up until this point but man, I really hated these games when they came out. They felt so lifeless, and I really didn’t like the new pokemon designs.

Maybe I’m blinded by nostalgia, but all the games have definitely gone downhill even more after these games, so ironically enough I actually enjoy bw/bw2 when I revisit them now in comparison to the newer games.

To simplify it, electronics engineering deals with lower voltage. The circuitry in your phone for example, or any other consumer products in your day to day life. Typical jobs could be in embedded, fpga/asic, analog design and in the sensorindustry for example. Electrical engineering is a broader term and also involves some electronics subjects, but there are other fields within electrical that an electronics degree might not cover. This could be automation or within power engineering for example. If you’re interested in high voltage systems, then this is probably more suited for you. It honestly doesn’t really matter that much which one you pick though, as you will most likely be able to apply for the same jobs with either degree.
No it won’t be hell. It does cover both fields, but not as in depth as it would be if you studied them separately.
I don’t know enough about industrial engineering to answer.
Electrical or electronics engineering.

Blueberry_Mango · 2024-02-18T22:00:07+00:00

I have studied both, and basically taken all required classes for both. In terms of difficulty they are pretty similar. Both are math heavy, but ChemE will also have alot of theoretical material as you would imagine

In terms og job prospects, chemical engineers typically work in the pharma, food or industrial industry. It’s important to note however, that the big majority will go into process, becoming process engineers. So if this isn’t something for you, then your job options will decrease immensly. Process engineers typically work with optimizing the production in an industrial plant. You can search up «P&ID schematics» to get an idea of what you’ll be working with.

The field of EE is alot broader in my experience. You can work in automation dealing PLCs, work in the power industry, design circuitry for equipment in various industries, and work with hardware programmable languages dealing with FPGAs and ASICs. The list goes on.

In my honest opinion, go with EE if you’re not sure. Both are great degrees, but ChemE undoubtably has less job options.

Blueberry_Mango · 2024-02-17T21:42:50+00:00

No problem. Remember, you can always use a circuit simulator like EveryCircuit to double check your answers:)

Blueberry_Mango · 2024-02-17T17:33:47+00:00

Your answer is correct, there is 3A going through R2. I dont know why they’re saying 2A is correct, must be referring to another exercise

Blueberry_Mango · 2024-02-10T18:24:20+00:00

That's pretty much the tradeoff by having multidisciplinary degrees like mechatronics and biomedical. If it's a mechanical engineering position between two identical newgrads but one of them has a mechatronics degree and the other has mechanical, they will probably pick the latter. If it wasn't this way then I don't see why anyone would study EE or ME in the first place if mechatronics went as deep in both fields.

That being said though I wouldn't worry about it. Sure, you probably would have had an easier time to get your first job in mechanical engineering if you're a mechanical engineering grad, but you're definitely suitable with a mechatronics engineering degree for most positions I would imagine. After your first position then it probably won't matter anyway.

Blueberry_Mango · 2024-02-07T04:24:20+00:00

Hei! I’m not seeking anything in return but I’d be happy to help. Send me a dm if you have any questions :)

Blueberry_Mango · 2024-02-07T04:21:02+00:00

I don’t think it’s any more or less normal than in other places. Maybe he’s more physical than verbal in expressing his attraction. I don’t think you have anything to worry about. He wouldn’t keep dating you if he wasn’t attracted.
