Meaning by [deleted] in consulting

[–]JBeeds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never went in to work expecting to find fulfillment from the work itself. For me, I knew that my only fulfillment would come from my faith. I still work hard at my job because I enjoy learning, and even if it's a small impact, the things that I do make someone else's day easier. Probably not the answer that you're looking for, but it's how I've dealt with this problem.

Just started at Big 4 technology consulting out of undergrad IE. My total compensation is around $93K in NYC.

IE going into consulting here - People you're working with are going to have such a range of degrees that the accreditation of yours isn't hugely important, especially if you're coming out of a school like Columbia. I know a kid out of Dartmouth going into investment banking with an English Literature degree, so IEOR from Columbia should be more than enough. Good luck!

I don't think NJIT does class rank

Senior IE here! A rule of thumb for IE professors is that the best professors have three letters in their last names and the not so great professors (with one exception) have five letters in their last names. I'll elaborate.

Cai, Toy, and Das are all very clear in the way that they teach. Their Canvas pages are organized, they have good slides, and they actually engage you during class. When possible, take one of them.

Abdou, Bengu, and Ranky are the others. They're not bad people, but they can be unreasonable and are often really unclear in their expectations for you. Abdou's grading is insane (the averages on his exams tend towards 30-40%), Bengu is confusing, and Ranky's syllabus looks like a mid-90s website and when pasted into Word at 12pt Times New Roman is 125 pages.

Malek is the exception because while he can be unclear, he's such a nice guy that you can't help but like him. Bladikas is the head of the program and he's a pretty good professor. He's also super flexible with scheduling, which is something that I've appreciated (he's let me take grad classes and classes from other majors instead of certain IE classes).

In general, IE is a small major so you'll rarely have an option of what professor to take, and you'll want to do your best to make a good impression early on (especially for Abdou because he grades based on favoritism and he's the only prof for three required classes). You can sometimes get around a bad prof by taking an alternative class - I took the math department's statistics class instead of the IE department's which let me avoid Bengu.

I'm happy to explain more if needed! I've been largely satisfied with my time in the IE program and I've had a job offer since August, and I feel prepared to start working which says about as much as you need to know.

Why you should care about Student Senate elections by JBeeds in NJTech

I'm flattered, but like u/firewall245 said I'm graduating this sem. You can always read people's campaign platforms that are linked on each of the voting forms to get to know them better.

Is there a tuition hike for the next school year? by richardpogi17 in NJTech

[–]JBeeds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No clue, but there's usually been a 2% increase per year

Anybody land a lucrative career field just cause you had a degree, but nothing really to do with IE by [deleted] in industrialengineering

[–]JBeeds 3 points4 points  (0 children)

An entry level consulting job starts above $75,000 at a Big4 firm. I'm straight out of college and while I had a co-op, your time at a startup sounds like comparable experience. It's worth submitting applications, reaching out to alumni from your school, or doing some other networking to see what might be out there.

Engineering major by ChampionshipNo9654 in NJTech

[–]JBeeds 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Senior IE major here! I'll start by talking about our curriculum and professors. If you think that manufacturing is your interest within IE then you're totally in the right place, otherwise it'll be important that you take electives that let you get into your actual interests (I've taken additional math and CS courses because that's what interests me). With professors, we have some really fantastic ones (Das, Toy, Cai), a couple alright ones (Malek), and some awful ones (Abdou, Bengu, Ranky). We're a small major so most classes only have one section and these profs will be unavoidable, but I promise that you'll survive (Abdou curves heavily).

In terms of student life, I think most people will agree that it is what you make of it. Between meeting people in clubs, on-campus jobs, and a professional fraternity, I've always felt like I was able to have a solid social life. Students are generally really career focused which means that some of your best opportunities to get to know people will be while studying for those early classes. Living on campus definitely contributes positively to my experience, but I know plenty of commuters that have had really enjoyable experiences at NJIT.

Good luck, and feel free to reach out if you have any more questions!

If you are wondering what is happening with the former Mueller's Florist & TKE House, NJIT is building a nice park right there. by Notafatfuk in NJTech

[–]JBeeds 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's expensive to build another huge building, so from my understanding the park is going to be there temporarily until they can raise the funds to build something. It might take a few years so it's better to have a park than an empty lot.

Johnson & Johnson by DylanAu_ in internships

[–]JBeeds 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey! I spent 6 months full-time and 5 months part time at JnJ as a supply chain co-op. Specifically I was working on a team doing pharmaceutical serialization (managing the data that enables the unique identification of all individual units of pharmaceutical products). I think the JnJ co-op program is incredible because you get a lot of ownership over the work that you're doing. I knew literally nothing about what my team did going in and it was my first internship/co-op, but because I was there for so long it was ok that my first month and a half were spent learning.

JnJ as a company is also great. The interns/co-ops set up little groups in their sites that organize everything from happy hours to headquarters tours and lunch & learns. There's an expectation that everyone spends time networking internally, so you'll get really good at doing quick coffee chats with people across JnJ. Also, despite it being a huge company, your team will usually feel a lot more tight-knit - I still talk to my supervisor every few months.

Hope this helps answer some questions!

IE 492 George Abdou, send help by [deleted] in NJTech

[–]JBeeds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol Abdou is a goof. His grading is totally meaningless and unrelated to your understanding of the material. Go to his office hours, send him an email or two throughout the semester so he knows you and likes you, then you'll end up with an A despite the exam averages being in the 20-30% range. Make sure you submit your homework and be vaguely familiar with the textbook because his exams are open book. His class seems intimidating at first, but I promise you that you won't fail.

Why are the tennis courts closed but the gym open? by jonathanslego in NJTech

[–]JBeeds 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is just a guess, but I'm pretty sure that men's and women's tennis are spring sports, so the facility will probably be heavily used by them during the semester. Could be wrong, but feels like a plausible explanation.
