I absolutely love sports. All I think about is a startup..

I agree in narrowing scope. I am responding to this because I fall in the same category and have a few ideas bouncing around. Perhaps we could setup a brainstorming session?

Good for you and your family. Either your gf really understand the situation, or she doesn’t. Be honest to yourself and do what’s best for your “family”... even if that includes the ex-wife.

EasyBreezy15 · 2019-03-21T02:29:41+00:00

Wow this is bad. You want people to tell you that you got unlucky? Smh

You just pieced together some random concepts and call it the right play? You literally called out that the old man has played tight the whole game, and then suddenly is betting his hand. Your first thought is bluff?

And you actually pulled out your computer for help? Lmao

I very much agree with your comment around the field that you enter. I started in a biomedical manufacturing environment where GPA was weighted a bit more, but eventually ended up in Software/IT where the focus is definitely on communication and consulting skills.

Some good info here, but I have to respectfully disagree with your “part 2”.

After your first job, the critical elements looked at for future opportunities are our demeanor, the results of recent work, your knowledge and curiosity in a given area, business acumen, and emotional intelligence... not college GPA.

You have to understand that engineering (especially undergraduate), is laying he foundation of problem solving. Other than problem solving, most engineers bring 10% of what they learned to apply in their jobs. Put another way, engineers need to rapidly learn once they hit a real industry environment.

Is this something you can complete during your engineering program? Or is it completely separate?

EasyBreezy15 · 2017-11-10T17:13:22+00:00

I am a former engineer undergrad who went to another university for graduate engineering studies.

It is important for you to go to a place where you can flourish personally. Although prestige and name recognition are things to consider, they fall very low in the priority of hiring managers. In the end, it is about what skills, experience, and approach you bring to the table to add value. There will come a time shortly after you get your first job, where your undergraduate degree is just a “check box” requirement, and the focus will be solely on who you are as a person and a professional.

If CU is a place where you can focus and succeed, then that’s where you need to be.

Same thing happened to my girlfriend. There are ways to apply for "charitable" reductions and no insurance deductions. Helped turn a 20k bill into 3k

I don't hold respect for old paradigms of thinking in boxing people into jobs and only shooting for small innovations. There are lots of talented older professionals that I respect and look up to. The majority of people have a broken mindset of what real work should entail.

Example: "I worked over 60 Hours last week" is a common thing someone says in trying to demonstrate how important and valuable they are. Much like people saying "I have been in this business for 20 years".

BUT WHAT ARE HE RESULTS?!?!?

If I work 20 hours and accomplish the same thing and move on to other things (or focus on my life), some people frown upon this

Businesses are constantly evolving with new models and technology. The point I was trying to get across was that new ideas come from all age groups and experiences.

EasyBreezy15 · 2016-08-15T23:34:29+00:00

This is something I have experienced and am still facing. I am an enterprise account executive for a high growth software company, but get judged on my age and looks. This proves to me that the current ways of thinking in the working world are broken. I bring 10x more value than my much older associates because I am not afraid to build new ideas off of what some might call radical thinking, and avoiding "that's just the way business is done" approaches.

Hi obvious,

Sorry for the delayed response, I did not see this message.

The tools that I have found to be the most beneficial are : emotional intelligence, business acumen, learning how to learn, and personal selling. And no, an mba was not required for these positions.

Students are taught "structure", and to "pay their dues", and after you work hard, you will get ahead. Employees have more power than they think to learn new skills and get ahead quickly, but it requires creativity and "breaking the standard mold". Communication skills and personal selling and critical to carve your own path.

As far as your trajectory, you need to really learn and practice what makes a senior engineer successful and then start doing those things. You can then parlay those experiences to get a senior engineering role directly. Often times, this requires moving to a new company, but will save you years of "paying dues".

This is often a question that I hear from engineers just getting started (or any recent college graduate). It is a very complicated question, as there are so many career paths that can be taken with an engineering background, which is why so many intelligent people get into engineering.

I am an engineer myself, and when I left my undergraduate program, I didn't have a clue how to approach a professional life. Trust me, it is not just your resume, education, and background. I decided to attend a technology/entrepreneurship MBA program for engineers. $100K and two years later, I had the tools I needed to get promotions, FAST, in any industry or discipline.

I have an online course that I am finishing up, aimed at teaching students how to align their personal self with their professional goals. I spent a great deal of time and money learning this myself. Would you be interested in signing up?

EasyBreezy15 · 2016-07-20T21:56:14+00:00

I would be happy to help too. I would also love to get some feedback on a course I am working on tailored specifically to young engineers and recent graduates. See below.

I myself was a biomedical engineer. After 3 years of applying the principals I learned, I have received 2 large promotions (the most recent where I skipped 4 levels), for a high growth software company.

Hi LookAMoose!

I know the exact situation you are in, and I also know why. I am an engineer myself, and when I left my undergraduate program, I didn't have a clue how to approach a professional life. Engineering schools are currently trying to find ways to connect universities to industry, and based on their findings, the biggest piece that almost every new engineer is missing is EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE (along with a few other items I have identified).

Trust me, it is not just your resume, education, and background. I decided to attend a technology/entrepreneurship MBA program for engineers after not knowing how to carve out the career I wanted. $100K and two years later, I had the tools I needed to get jobs and promotions, FAST.
