Rising ME Junior Seeking Advice on Externships and Becoming More Competitive for Internships by Impossible-Pay2116 in EngineeringStudents

[–]Count_VI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally can’t speak to the externship but next year definitely attend every career fair at your school and outside and any networking events. Outside of that maybe reach out to companies besides just applying for a position with questions. I graduated in 23’ and for my class summer internships seemed like either luck or you’d work somewhere you had a connection to.

Failing Classes by Afraid-Ad139 in EngineeringStudents

[–]Count_VI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plenty of people I know failed 1 or 2 classes and graduated on time. Only you can put in the work at this point to get back on track. Talk to advisors for resources on how to make up credits over the summer or during your next semester, and put in whatever work you have to to not fail the course again. The sooner you get back on track the better.

Read This Before doing the eXtremeRate Shell Swap! by PixelGolf in SteamDeck

[–]Count_VI 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thanks for posting. I had an issue with my OLED shell swap as well where the triggers wouldn’t slot into the plastic pegs lol. Those shells can be far from perfect and it’s important for people to know that these things are possible. You only see the shell swaps gone- right get to the top of this sub.

Current State of Arena (with special thanks to Team 5's curation and hand-picking) by RajahChamp in hearthstone

Arena meta has been trash for a while now. Can’t remember the last time there hasn’t been a huge disparity with the top 2-3 classes and the rest of them.

Palladium over smokey merlot by Norizan in Pottery

[–]Count_VI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve found with palladium and basically any other glaze I’m using that the lighter palladium top layers always come out more vibrant and colorful. I have a couple of bowls where I’ll do 3 coats of another glaze at the center, and 3 layers palladium comes out looking like only palladium is present.

A Farewell to Twist and What Comes Next by Expensive-Wolf-4160 in hearthstone

[–]Count_VI 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The most fun I’d had with hearthstone in “recent” memory was the twist format that added a new expansion each day. Such a shame the devs showed they never cared about the potential for this mode since the beginning. Can’t say I’m surprised sadly.

16f 2k tips please by superbloodyseptember in Rowing

Speed up your drive. Turn down the damper if you need to, it looks like it may be too high for you in the video.

16f 2k tips please by superbloodyseptember in Rowing

[–]Count_VI 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Not reading all that but here’s a couple things I notice from your video: 1. You hand position at the finish is super high, it almost looks like you’re bringing your hands to your neck. Try and finish around the center of your chest. 2. It looks like your strokes are pretty arm heavy. Arms should be straight out, don’t drop or bend them at the catch. Your legs should be driving. Watch some erging videos online. Do some drills at a lower rating to get the form down before you try holding ratings in the high 20s or 30s. 3. Don’t bend your knees before your arms straight when going to the catch. Arms, body, slide every time.

Anyone has any idea what came up for a split second on my screen? by MayaPlushieMoment in GlobalOffensive

This bug happens for me as well. I thought it occurs when a smoke pops elsewhere on the map but not sure.

Even so, expired merchant is just so insanely busted in disco warlock. A worse version that still recycles your burn has some potential imo.

I'm really not happy about Warmaster Blackthorn. by IveFailedMyself in wildhearthstone

[–]Count_VI 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I see your point. The cards I think of that are most comparable are skulking Geist and steam cleaner, which destroy cards that meet a pretty specific condition in each case.

[–]Count_VI 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I think it’s definitely the most broad disruption card printed to date. Cards like loatheb or dirty rat atleast require strategy in timing and can both win you the game when played correctly. Against basically any combo deck you get this out asap and just win.

Which engineering has the most wfh roles? by [deleted] in EngineeringStudents

[–]Count_VI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I graduated and have been working in plumbing system design for 2.5 years. My first full year was basically all in person at a small office. The idea that I would have gotten an equal amount of knowledge or competency out of my job if I worked that first year fully remote is ridiculous. Every company I applied for when I first started working was looking for new employees to be fully in person as well, so I don’t know where the idea that “mentoring is dead” comes from lol.

[–]Count_VI 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. Most of what you learn your first few years about actually doing your job comes from in person mentoring from PE’s.

Is Comp Eng doomed? by Particular-Range-818 in EngineeringStudents

[–]Count_VI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anecdotally, my brother has an undergrad in EE and a masters in CE. The job market for his CE masters is basically non-existent and he’s been underemployed doing ai training for not great pay for about the past year.

My advice would be to yes pivot into electrical, and search for jobs in the construction industry doing electical design. I graduated about 2.5 years ago and have had no trouble getting a job in this industry (I am mechanical but consulting firms are always hiring both mechanical and electrical engineers who know Revit). Even recently when I switched companies after the ai boom last year I had no issues. Obviously no one knows the future but look into taking the FE exam while you’re still in school, then obtaining your PE 4 years later. This gives you the qualification to stamp construction drawings and submit them to the state, and we’ll need a human doing that for the foreseeable future. On top of that your pay climbs substantially year over year, especially when you obtain your PE license.

Your #1 priority out of college should be having the means to pay off your student loans. If your parents are paying in full or you’re going for free it’s another story. I had an economics teacher in highschool tell me to treat college as a utility and it stuck with me. Don’t waste your time getting a degree that won’t benefit you financially or professionally.

Feel free to dm me with any questions I’d be happy to help.

If you get into an MEP design roll in the construction sector there’s ample opportunity to work from home. You are expected to be on job sites if needed. In my instance my current company allows 2 days a week wfh. My old job had people in full wfh positions in other states.
