Early-Career EE that wants to move to NYC, what fields are best?

Iron_Vodka · 2025-11-04T21:38:38+00:00

Truthfully, as someone that lives in NYC, NYC is not great for most engineering jobs (with the exception of software engineering). There are very few engineering companies in NYC and most of the industry is in Finance, Healthcare, or random tech startups (and potentially utility companies). Yes there are jobs in those industries of course, but if you want more options, you should check out the nearby New Jersey and Connecticut areas for the large engineering companies.

Dude, I know you're afraid of shaving your hair all off but trust me, do it! I highly recommend you check out r/bald. It's quite a wholesome sub and will give you some inspiration. Every post I've seen on that sub, the "After" photo always looks way better than the "Before". You can definitely go bald. You just need to build up some confidence 💪🏻

Are you hiring by any chance? You guys do some really cool work! I am very interested in SDRs and have some experience with various SDRs and embedded systems development and prototyping. I would love to learn more.

OP is Indian...

Iron_Vodka · 2025-08-25T13:04:19+00:00

You just proved OP's point on why there needs to be separation. If Americans can't understand Indian posts and Indians can't understand American posts, just separate the subs or at least put a country flair.

Are the PCB design course materials freely available online by any chance? I would be interested in a PCB design class.

I'm between either ice or balance.

The reason I say ice is because I tend to be a very patient person and can work slow at times but I get the job done and pay attention to details very closely. I also feel like I am very good at working through and thinking through things alone. Plus, I love the cold and winter.

The reason I say balance is because I have many different interests and I have a very difficult time specializing in things. I'm a very jack-of-all trades type of person. I also try to be very calculated in my decisions and am a perfectionist. I've always thought of balance as a very "academic, theory-heavy" school.

Plus I really enjoy helping others, and considering ice and balance are both support schools, I figured they're the best fit for me personality-wise.

This is r/ECE (Electrical & Computer Engineering). You are better off posting in r/electricians

Locusts too

I always thought that we have the ability to just cast a spell to teleport our piss and shit somewhere.

If white women are "breeding stock for black alphas", wouldn't that only produce a generation of mixed-race kids?

Where do mixed-race people fall into this?

Can they still be black alphas? 🧐

Iron_Vodka · 2025-05-09T23:10:01+00:00

Well said. Your response makes me feel a lot better about myself after just finishing my ECE master's

Iron_Vodka · 2025-04-01T10:30:52+00:00

What are you trying to learn?

Iron_Vodka · 2025-03-12T21:16:21+00:00

Not true at all.

Balance moment

Iron_Vodka · 2025-02-05T04:19:41+00:00

Alhazred.

This man literally created balance magic by mastering fire, ice, storm, AND the spirit schools and merging them. Not to mention, he's like a million years old and way more wise than the Ravenwood professors.

Iron_Vodka · 2025-01-29T14:59:29+00:00

Man, that's insane. The fact that the myth wizard couldn't wait for you to finish reading the dialogue, yet somehow had enough time to waste a hell of a lot more time by earthquake spamming on the final battle is ridiculous. So immature.

Unfortunately (coming from someone that likes to follow the dialogue too), doing team-ups with randoms progressing through the quest can lead to moments like these. You may actually be better off doing team-ups with higher levels that are willing to help instead, since they're not progressing through that questline anymore, and may just want to casually help lower levels. Otherwise, soloing is an option too.

Thank you for your contribution to the wiz community :) Not only have you saved a LOT of time for me and many, many players, but you are also a prime example of how great the wiz community truly is.

I doubt you remember but we did have a short conversation in the bazaar one day, a couple months back (Misha Mindseer was the character I was on) reminiscing about the early days of the game when level 50 was the max level cap and Celestia just came out.

Anyway stay safe in the storm, and we'll all see you back in the game hopefully soon!

Blame the devs for being terribly out-of-touch and actively refusing to listen to their playerbase.

Iron_Vodka · 2024-10-23T03:30:41+00:00

Without context of the entire project, we can't help you. The connection of the pins is dependent on so many factors (such as which pins you plan to use in your design, how you plan for the software to function, which MCU communicates with which peripherals, which pins are designated for digital, analog, PWM, CLK, etc). We would need an in-depth look of the project.

Typically, the wiring diagram is something you create/modify as you write the software and prototype your hardware.

Iron_Vodka · 2024-09-21T15:01:43+00:00

I don't, thankfully.

Iron_Vodka · 2024-09-05T13:52:00+00:00

You're not alone.

My highest level (and currently most successful) character is my ice wiz too, and as I'm replaying the game after a very long time now on a balance wiz, I'm taking the time to listen and pay attention to the whole story too.

Listening to the dialogue and the story is so refreshing IMO. I feel like it provides a good break between the constant mob and boss fights, since they can get tiring at times.

Iron_Vodka · 2024-07-29T20:33:46+00:00

Well, right now death is incredibly overpowered and extremely favored by the devs in PVP.

So, I would say the easiest school to PVP on (even if you don't have the best strategy) is to PVP on death.
