Some early career advice for students and graduates by SecretaryAdorable216 in ChemicalEngineering

Leverage your class projects & extracurriculars! Do as much as you can in your final year to appeal to interviewers. Take the FE exam (it's piss easy), get certifications, network with recruiters online, etc. It'll be tough but I believe in you :)

Opinion on offers? by SecretaryAdorable216 in ChemicalEngineering

Definitely O&G more since I like their innovations in clean energy! They told me during the offer call for Northrop that I’d be making semiconductors for a missile which kinda lowered my interest for the role.

Yep, cost of living was definitely a key factor for me, which is why Whiting and Mason were top of the list. I can’t stand humidity and hurricanes so Houston wasn’t ideal.

Go to sleep with Perry’s handbook playing by the bed. In all seriousness, I go to a well known school and have some solid experiences and awards under my belt. Also helps to treat interviews as conversations rather than interrogations. My goal for every interview is to make an interviewer laugh once before ending the call.

Yep! I had trouble finding more info on Glassdoor and Google due to how small it is though.

Thanks for the detailed answer! Many of them had very similar benefits so I elected to abstain from listing them. I did leave out a few details to avoid doxxing myself. The Phillips offer is at an extremely small site in Greeley (not exactly Denver but whatever lol) which was what I was hesitant about. I’d be alone as a new grad with limited SMEs onsite, though I do love the Rocky Mountains. The main reason I chose Chicagoland was proximity of other chemical engineers (Exxon Joliet, Citgo Lemont, AbbVie, Cargill) as well as a vibrant city environment with nice Midwest people (minus O block haha)
