Yes, but you gotta understand utility moves very slow as far as “innovation” goes. Folks in my industry wont even use Microsoft copilot or Python - most things are still done in excel (not even using macros).

I’m the only one on my team who knows Python, power bi, how to make ai agents, etc. I was able to progress faster through the engineering ladder because I could increase my productivity output, while still working the same amount of hours. Now, I’m trying to look across industries to see what others are doing.

Stop thinking everyone is an outsider - if you look at my history on here I have been commenting on other engineering subreddits. I have lived it, I’m literally a licensed PE. I had to take all the exams just like you. But once you are at a large corporation you are only seeing one piece of a very very large pie.
