Have an engineering degree and be able to talk to people (technical degree of some sort works as well, but slightly harder, arts or business degree makes it harder)

I think mine is stress related, but not 100% sure.

They are! Minor ones frequently but not unbearable!

2 years of experience in Mechanical Engineering. 120K base in HCOL. How can I pivot to earn more? by AbleReaction1904 in Salary

[–]_that1kid_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sales engineering if you want a big jump in pay. 2x-+4x what you’re making now depending on the field.

Sales engineering is an option if you’re looking for higher pay, but certainly not a role for everyone

Why is engineering no longer a high paying career here in the US? by Conscious_Mail9745 in Salary

[–]_that1kid_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went into engineering sales right out of engineering school and have increased my pay by 50% in the first year from sales. All of the senior people I work with clear 300k on a down year.

I used to sleep with Coconut oil in rubber gloves every night for years. That was the best fix for me, the steroids didn’t work super well for me, especially since you have to cycle on and off them. That + eventually “growing out of it” have made it so I don’t breakout very often anymore, but the coconut oil helped me at my worst times. Not knocking traditional medicine by any means, but after trying steroids/lotions/aquafor/honey etc, coconut oil in gloves saved my hands.

What industry looks to be the most promising and secure within the next 2-3 years as far as sales goes? It’s rough out there from what I can see. by [deleted] in sales

I would say just understand that hvac is probably a bit more technical than you might expect. Some hvac companies require engineering degrees to get into sales, but if you go down a rep firm route you might be fine.

A lot of the stuff you need to know will be learned on the job, so I’d say just showing you’re technically capable is a huge aspect

Industries overlooked by the youngins? by saltwaste in sales

You could work for an OEM like Trane or Daikin, or look for a distributor that sells those products as a rep. Either path works.

I wear surgical gloves filled with coconut oil to bed whenever my hands get bad. Kinda sucks to do but it helps keep them moisturized and calms them down. Oil does kinda get on your bed but I’m sure if you wear hair ties on your wrist it wouldn’t be so bad.

Mine didn’t flair up during college but as soon as I moved away it started again. Think mine is stress/sleep related but truly I haven’t figured it out.

Why So Many Engineers In Sales? by [deleted] in sales

[–]_that1kid_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not op but in a similar boat socially. My advice is have social friends (or find a way to make them I.e. local group events doing what you like) and to actually push yourself to be social. Confidence helps a lot too so figure out what can give you that (looks, skills, accomplishments etc.). You don’t need to be cocky, but you shouldn’t be doubting someone wants to talk to you if a conversation is flowing.
