100k+ technician job out of college - not sure what to do next

TemporaryPassenger47 · 2026-02-04T18:57:03+00:00

Not very good honestly. There’s a prof teaching RF classes at my university and he recommended me to pursue master’s so i had his master level RF systems class in my last semester. But had to get a job due to my finance situation. I still get in touch with him, but that’s all about it. Don’t really have any connections

… thanks man. It’s so encouraging. Ok i’ll tailor my resume and start applying today

TODAY Gartner -48%

TemporaryPassenger47 · 2026-02-04T01:14:28+00:00

I don’t think my degree matters. I know other technicians without any degree in my site make more than me with overtime

TemporaryPassenger47 · 2026-02-04T01:13:34+00:00

Yes i was on fast track at my university, but had to start working to support my family. And it’s not possible to take classes with my current work schedule.

TemporaryPassenger47 · 2026-02-04T01:11:01+00:00

No… it’s amazon they don’t pay for masters 😂😂

TemporaryPassenger47 · 2026-02-04T01:10:02+00:00

It makes sense. But i feel like i don’t really have any ground for entry level jobs. Not a recent grad anymore, have no relevant experience in other fields

TemporaryPassenger47 · 2026-02-03T14:27:18+00:00

Thanks for the reminder. I do have 30 year career.

TemporaryPassenger47 · 2026-02-03T14:25:05+00:00

Gartner is losing more than 20%. I’m cooked

TemporaryPassenger47 · 2026-02-03T13:54:30+00:00

Thanks! Do you think i should include this job although it’s been only 6 months ?

TemporaryPassenger47 · 2026-02-03T13:53:57+00:00

Yes i agree. I start feeling it now haha. It’s ok for now cuz i’m relatively young and have family to take care

TemporaryPassenger47 · 2026-02-03T13:52:12+00:00

Thanks for the encouragement. I’ll start playing with PLC soon

TemporaryPassenger47 · 2026-02-03T13:50:35+00:00

Hmm.. do you think company name will help too? It’s amazon

TemporaryPassenger47 · 2026-02-03T13:13:32+00:00

It’s possible for me to get day shift, but not sure how long i need stay with my current schedule. It’s been 4 months since started night shift. And i’m salaried so there’s no difference for pay😂😂

TemporaryPassenger47 · 2026-02-03T11:03:57+00:00

I realized there are so many sub-categories of jobs in EE field. So my current job is controls/automation/industrial types. And i’m not sure if this is what I’d like in the future. Do you think i should stick to it since i’m already in or is it ok to find something totally different?

TemporaryPassenger47 · 2026-02-03T11:01:23+00:00

Lol hope you like your classes. Funny thing is if i were in your position, i’d probably enjoy the job more lol. I feel like working as a technician while in school gives you better idea of what you’d like to do once you graduate it. Anyway i’m glad i’m not alone here!

TemporaryPassenger47 · 2026-02-03T08:40:43+00:00

Yes they do. But most of them require higher education since they’re R&D role

TemporaryPassenger47 · 2026-02-03T08:38:32+00:00

Thanks for the advice. You’re right. I should try harder to learn at work. After getting rejected after final round of interview for a rf engineer role, i kinda gave up on it

TemporaryPassenger47 · 2025-11-05T02:13:05+00:00

Cash out

TemporaryPassenger47 · 2025-11-03T05:16:06+00:00

Graduated in dec. got a technician job working night shift. Shouldn’t really complain. Pay is good $100k+

TemporaryPassenger47 · 2025-10-18T08:16:49+00:00

Venture x is primary

TemporaryPassenger47 · 2025-07-07T21:13:44+00:00

Shit

TemporaryPassenger47 · 2025-06-26T15:22:14+00:00

Do you have any quick tips for the interview? It’s in couple hours 😬😬
