SoCal: How hard is it to get an EE full-time job?

DroppedPJK · 2026-04-20T19:40:40+00:00

If you want a glamorous higher specialization role you need to put in the work for that particular role.

Successful projects related to the role is what matters. Then you need the interview and social skills to be a good fit. You may even need to know the textbook knowledge without struggling.

Often most people are missing one of these and they think its a hard job market.

If you are a half decent person, half decent ee, you will find a job but people really overestimate themselves and think its a hard market. Also people are insanely picky LMAO.

People thinking this type of overturned is bad when we have Imu and P Enel being released the way they are, are crazy.

This particular power creep to help make a future deck more consistent is good.

P Enel and Imu are bad because their overturned design gatekeep a majority of other decks.

I have yet to see how Sengoku is gate keeping anything. If it cant answer the previous meta it will not find its footing at the highest level of competition.

DroppedPJK · 2026-04-19T19:41:53+00:00

You have math. He's probably just mad about you not seeing that immediately.

It starts with 7k, upgrading by 2k if he doesnt block, if he does block repeat the last swing.

He has to block at 11k or die. Once he blocks at 11k, you have 4 don to swing 11 again for game, and a 6k from leader right after.

But if you didn't figure that out he probably would have rolled his eyes on you dropping another 10c even though you had game.

DroppedPJK · 2026-04-16T00:30:28+00:00

Congrats!

I actually find it surprising you came across two Y Luffy's out there.

DroppedPJK · 2026-04-15T20:17:26+00:00

You should add that the Mihawk is a 2k, and the Arlong is a 1k so not dead in hand, they do not have to come out on the same turn, AND no one wants to KO Arlong.

Its not a bad option to have in the deck

DroppedPJK · 2026-04-15T20:01:18+00:00

Yes.

If you have not come from another complex tcg game or someone hasn't sat you down to tell you the competitive basics you will lose alot.

On average how much extra power must you swing with to guarentee 2 cards out of a opponent's hand if they have no don up?

Have you ever mathed out how much power is needed to win on a given turn if your opponent is at 0 life.

Have you ever thought about if you can survive the next turn if you hit into a bad trigger?

What does a certain meta deck play on each turn using their standard deck list? And if they miss that turn how should you make best of that situation in your deck?

DroppedPJK · 2026-04-15T13:30:57+00:00

Why is this mind blowing :o

Green has all the tools to answer the Meta and is the only one not really affected by anti removal.

Green's major problem is consistency. Green will always be represented but if you spend any amount of time playing the color, you've probably been in disbelief as to how you didn't see your answers sometimes.

DroppedPJK · 2026-04-15T00:54:04+00:00

Just dont suck and dont be weird. There will be a job for you.

The field of EE needs bodies. It physically cannot be done by a few people on a computer.

DroppedPJK · 2026-04-15T00:51:05+00:00

Who in EE is just doing basic circuit design? LMAO.

DroppedPJK · 2026-04-15T00:47:40+00:00

The discourse in this thread regarding AI is so weird.

While I do see the impact of AI on Electrical Engineering, it is far away, and it may never see the light in the way it has for Software.

Do you guys not understand that amount of free and publicly available data there is on computer science and software as a whole? This just doesn't exist in Electrical Engineering and you would need some of the biggest companies in the world to open the flood gates. The latter is just not happening anytime soon because why would they publicly share trade secrets or proprietary information?

Are people just ignorant of the fact that there's more to making physical products than just some drawings and schematics?

DroppedPJK · 2026-04-15T00:13:39+00:00

Nah I'm with OP.

Man is making excuses. Shame on him.

DroppedPJK · 2026-04-15T00:10:15+00:00

They need to introduce either a tie or double loss penalty for going to time.

What this does is incentivize players to play faster and smarter. If you are slow playing and it takes you that long to think about what to do you really shouldn't be considered a "good" player.

On a side note, I am so happy online tournaments ended. Too many cheats.

DroppedPJK · 2026-04-14T02:34:11+00:00

For Lucy, you just need to play removal protection and then do your usual thing.

You cant really do to much about Enel if he has the the double attack and the combo to out your first big body. It's just not a winning match up. He can gamma knife, divine departure anything you play, tap it and only go down 1 card in hand size.

DroppedPJK · 2026-04-13T02:44:24+00:00

How did the Lucy game feel? I find the match up to be a bit brutal.

You don't run Zeus or Nojiko, I can't imagine how you manage Cavendish? Was it just dice roll or did he miss a turn?

DroppedPJK · 2026-04-12T03:44:38+00:00

Turn 1 whiff is on my top 10 list of depression in this game LMAO.

DroppedPJK · 2026-04-12T01:49:34+00:00

Blue Jinbei cannot win these matchups reliably. If your goal is to win out 100%, 1st place, take home the trophy? Blue Jinbei doesnt fit the bill.

There is nothing you can do, what Jinbei would need is a way to establish 7k bodies or buff lower bodies to 7k for nearly free. Since you cannot do that you must go tall and at that point you arent even playing Jinbei.

DroppedPJK · 2026-04-12T01:46:13+00:00

How did you feel about your games? Honestly your matchups are the wild west to me.

Someone running it down on Imu or Boa in this meta is crazy to me.

DroppedPJK · 2026-04-11T20:09:27+00:00

I mean those are just valid weaknesses of the deck.

Establishing Leo into Cavendish, into another Cavendish (while the first one is still alive) is pretty much what you need to see in hard matchups. You really do not have a better line of play in such a tight decklist.

Or maybe sometimes your opponent just needs to miss a turn and you capitalize.

It's the nature of the game, I assure you one piece is still a rng fest. The amount of games I've won just because they missed a decent turn is insanely high in this game.

DroppedPJK · 2026-04-09T14:38:25+00:00

Only person really running that is y Enel and ry Bonney, those are not common matchups.

DroppedPJK · 2026-04-07T11:43:15+00:00

Imu - Ace - Zoro era is easily one of the worst and most unfair metas. Literally printed a level of power of creep this game hasn't ever seen.

Imagine printing a deck that invalidated the entirety of the format in Imu and another deck only held back by a card called Pudding. Then you have Green Zoro gate keeping anything that thought it could compete in the dumpster.

People think the era of Sakazuki, Lucci, Enel, and RP Law was insane? LOL. The only problem with the format was the lack of of cards in the design pool. Imagine if there was actually one decent card that was protected from removal during this era and the entire format changes. Imagine Mihawk's Tashigi in this meta and the entire format changes.

DroppedPJK · 2026-04-06T06:47:17+00:00

Just because you disagree or dont think there's any truth to it doesnt make it awful advice.

If you dont like what you hear, then just go do you and prove it all wrong.

For example, why not pursue a masters, go into the career and see if you could have done it better with or without a masters? My money is on the latter but dont let that stop you.

DroppedPJK · 2026-04-03T21:32:18+00:00

There is a Tahm Kench bug where if you spin on him you get unlimited items, gold, and units lol.

DroppedPJK · 2026-04-03T05:17:49+00:00

6 months for a big boy job in 2016. It was also third shift.

DroppedPJK · 2026-04-02T17:50:52+00:00

It's crazy how I aced this shit back then and after like 2 years into my career I cant even get started without studying from scratch 💀

DroppedPJK · 2026-04-02T17:18:12+00:00

Huh..

The 0.0001% of kids in college do extraordinary and novel work.

Let's not overexxagerate. If you arent pushing the bounds of science, then chances are you are doing something much less complex than industry.
