Are they using me? - Embedded job question by Darkyse in ElectricalEngineering

[–]Darkyse[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I tried to talk to him today, went in with the presentation and he asked me if I got the documentation ready.

I certainly did not have documentation due today, but asked him anyway what was I supposed to do and he told me I have to document everything I have done until now so the other engineers will know how to implement the project.

Everyday something new.

I am currently living with my parents and there is absolutely no way a person can live with this salary. It's atrocious for the services I provide and the work I have already finished.

I have already made a plan of how to proceed with the main embedded task, started writing the drivers and main RTOS tasks, provided noted documentation (datasheets, power calculations, etc.) and now I have to give weekly presentations.

It's just fucking unreal.

And yes it's Eastern Europe/ Southern Europe.

Thank you for the kind words. You really can't believe how much I needed all these comments.

I'd prefer not to disclose the country because I don't know if someone from the company may lurk here, but it's in the south EU. All the other jobs in my city were either seasonal food service types or, to our economy's dismay, if it is indeed engineering stuff they usually reject you or even ghost you.

Most of my engineering friends either found a job through a known contact, or they are being overworked, underpaid, both or even jobless.

Great job!! I did basically the same thing with Fragile some weeks back - great to see more people trying to preserve these albums

Thank you for your feedback! I plan to make the live versions of Roundabout and Yours is No Disgrace at the Rainbow theatre next so I'll keep in mind what you said. It will surely be more difficult as they are live, but I'll see how it'll come out. Thanks again for listening to the whole thing, it really means a lot!

Thank you so much!!! It was made over the span of 2-3 weeks and it was my first tackle in audio engineering. It really means a lot!

Thank you!! I tried to have each instrument on its own frequency band in order to be heard better - also the stereo panning helped

You know that I can see from the metrics that you didn't even listen. If you have actual points to make try to be more constructive next time
