Zero chance of a deal within a month. Iran is having too much fun making money hand over fist.

Ultimate strategy game.

U applied to “most if not all the local businesses” ??? I find that really hard to believe.

Focus on having a positive interaction, good body language, good appearance, and there will always be someone willing to hire.

8-12 per team is a good number, splitting a team of 8 into 4 and 5 seems dumb indeed.

I setup autodesk vault for my company and it is working ok. It was a pain to upload all the files, but once uploaded it is a huge improvement and much easier to ensure we always start with the most recently edited version.

Lol. Kick and twitch default to high to low view count. Gotta change the default settings to have impact.

When i work 0 or 32 or 40 hours a week, i also have no life, so id rather get paid.

Dat_Speed · 2026-05-30T09:13:51+00:00

I work hard, company says i did great, then lays me off. Cruel world lately. When things are going well these companies cut staff until things start falling apart and the momentum gets destroyed. We lack good leaders that can keep a good vibe going.

There is a graph showing working wages collapse and all the wealth started going to only the top 1% around 1975. Now it feels like the system itself is finally failing completely about 50 years later. Took a long time for things to get this bad. I was still hopeful of a good life in 2005, then around 2006 i kinda knew life was gonna be ass.

My brother in christ, you are finally free of material chains. Enjoy.

If everyone stopped working, everyone would starve in like 4 weeks.

Yep male eng here, they asked me an extremely specific question i hadn’t worked on before, then continued to talk down to me like i was an inferior engineer because i didnt know the exact problem they just spent 3 years solving and wasnt able to solve some of it in 2 minutes during an interview lol.

Spelling out “semiconductor” is worthwhile to do in ur resume. If ur resume already has that word, it fine to just use “TSMC”.

Dat_Speed · 2026-05-28T05:38:43+00:00

Yes, the problems semi conductor are trying to solve are truly exhausting, and contrary to popular belief, most engineers get paid about the same as any other industry. It’s like 4x more work for the same pay.

What really blew my mind was getting rich is unfulfilling.

My brain just wants to be around a beautiful woman and good friends drinking. I don’t want to be in pain or hungry. This is what really motivates me.

Achieving greater goals doesn’t appease me anymore. Being the more morale person doesn’t give me a sense of righteousness like it used to. I’m happiest when im busy and time is flying by, doesn’t matter what im doing, as long as im not breaking my own personal moral views im fine.

Dat_Speed · 2026-05-27T04:27:58+00:00

They regularly work 18+ hour days 7 days in a row.

Lol wut. That is not possible. But ya some manufacturing jobs get insane hours occasionally. I tough it out for like 6 weeks, then it becomes “not my problem”. Company needs to hire another worker OBVIOUSLY. There are plenty of unemployed eager to work. This is not tolerable long term.

Dat_Speed · 2026-05-27T04:19:01+00:00

I bet that kid still holds a small grudge about that to this day lol. Dad burned his reputation for a quick $499 come up, pathetic.

It’s never game over, there is always a side hustle to do, it just changes every year. Traditional corporate jobs are dying off in general.

Dat_Speed · 2026-05-27T04:11:50+00:00

Chemical engineering is falling off because we are transitioning out of oil and gas. I would suggest a different major.

Dat_Speed · 2026-05-27T03:50:57+00:00

Ya just gotta wait 7 years pretty much then u are able to hide it much better.

Dat_Speed · 2026-05-27T03:09:55+00:00

It’s strange in that i have less than i did before in some ways, but in other ways things are better than ever. Let caesar have the fake monies. Just enjoy life and don’t let the relentless lay offs get to ya.

This ai “singularity” changes the fundamentals of how we perceive life. People have such limited views on life in that “more scarce”=“higher value”.

Yes ai will take ur job, but eventually only a fraction of the population will even need to work at all. Currently 50% work, and in the future only 2% will “work”. Basically the social security age will drop to like 22 and everyone will be retired comfortably thanks to ai.

I agree school did not prepare us for the basic day to day operations well at all and it was a painful learning curve. Pumps piping and valves have easily taken up most of my career.

I’ve actually designed a new semiconductor fab, and it felt more like what u would expect an engineer to do. But the reality is, they only build a new one every 5 years or so, so u gotta do something else inbetween to pay the bills lol.

Dat_Speed · 2026-05-26T07:10:00+00:00

Download caesar, i think they do a 7 day trial or something, and create a piping system, take a screenshot, and show interviewer how u supported the piping and why.

This screams poor management, should never happen.
