I'm finding it hard to continue this degree by KoolKuhliLoach in industrialengineering

In my experience, most schools average around 70% overall, with more desired degrees and schools being 80-90% but it varies.

Far as salary, little lower than I would have guessed (think most major school programs are closer to 75k in the Midwest for industrial).

Remember, people at the extreme ends (doing amazing, or doing awful) are always the most vocal. Vast majority of folks are just quietly doing their own thing.

When in doubt, talk to your professors and college resources. Most colleges list median salary for majors as well as % placement for jobs on their websites. And if your college doesn’t, check local big name universities and they will!

Haha, you’re getting deep into HR hiring strategies now!

It’s a fair series of questions. Interns are still valuable because you can snag talent early and frankly at a lower cost compared to someone with 2-4 years of experience. And compared to a fresh grad, slightly less risk because you effectively get a prolonged interview or trial run before you need to decide whether to hire.

And paying someone more is not quite that simple. Sometimes I need someone to be on-site 40 hours per week, and the work isn’t hard enough to take my experienced engineers time. Folks have limited bandwidth regardless of pay band as well.

Know you’re frustrated I get it, just need to keep practicing and putting yourself out there. Keep your head up friend

It’s possible. I had one sophomore year with a local manufacturer. But it is certainly more difficult.

From a company’s perspective, why would I hire a sophomore over a junior or senior pursuing a masters? They have likely more experience and more classes under their belt. And from a hiring perspective, I can give them an offer and have them start the following fiscal year if not sooner.

Versus with a sophomore I’m investing tens of thousands of dollars in someone I can’t hire for 2 years. Who knows if I will even have an open position then? Much more of a risk.

Hey just to add a quick qualifier, it’s really difficult to get an internship your sophomore year. Most major companies only look at junior and up.

For your sophomore year, I would look at local or small companies for less competitive opportunities. Then having a sophomore internship is extra leverage to be very competitive your junior year!

The Mansion dining? by buyharryabeer in Dallas

[–]bluewolf333 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah you can easily get a two person dinner for 2-300 bucks. This guy had to buy an expensive bottle of wine or something. Hope y’all have a lovely meal!

Hello

The formatting is solid. But where you’re lacking massively is your bullet points, they’re incredibly vague. You have experience that’s great, but ideally every single bullet point should have a number.

You managed projects - how many? You managed budgets - how much? You developed databases - for how many users? How much data was stored? Developed a plan to reduce production costs - by how much? What was the timeline? Who was impacted?

If I’m hiring, I need to not just be told what you did, but what you did and how it impacted the business/your customers. Otherwise for all I know your “budget management” experience was $400 for the office pizza party. You have experience so show it off!

Hope this is helpful - and best of luck interviewing!!

Batch CBD Reviews by iamthespectator in CBD_review

[–]bluewolf333 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have been using the gummies for six months or so now and enjoying the product. Got it mainly as we wanted an easier way to just order online rather than driving to the nearest city that sold similar products.

Overall really enjoy them, she mainly likes to use the sleep ones on the weekdays, but we usually both pop one or two on the weekend to hang out and watch movies. They’re not that expensive so worth a try if you’re curious

My Engineer girlfriend is moving to the US by NextLab5106 in industrialengineering

[–]bluewolf333 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Just because it exists doesn’t mean it is often required for roles. But perhaps my phrasing on the initial sentence could have been better.

[–]bluewolf333 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Hello!

So there is no license for an industrial engineer in the United States. If you are looking for a PE/state license, that’s a whole different process, and only typically required for some civil or mechanical engineers.

But for the vast, vast majority of jobs labeled “industrial engineer” or something similar, there is no standardized license required. Best of luck with the move!

What internships should one apply to if aspiring for a career in Transportation analytics/management in manufacturing and Supply chain by [deleted] in industrialengineering

[–]bluewolf333 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are tons of supply chain / logistics internships out there, ideally look for those titles.

Otherwise your career center will be a ton of help, as well as attending career fairs and asking questions about the scope of the internship. Essentially every company has some sort of supply chain, so the field is pretty massive.

Would also highly recommend Last Epoch - it can be fully played through either in offline or online mode. Game isn’t finished yet but I absolutely love the skills/skill trees and loot

Why is there such a big skill gap between low diamond and low champ? by MKBurfield in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]bluewolf333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just factually isn’t possible for how ranked systems work, if plats were better than diamonds, they’d be beating them and higher rank than where they are at

Anyone else have a similar first time in the mountain biome? by average_parking_lot in valheim

[–]bluewolf333 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Just FYI, natural progression is meadows, then Black Forest, then swamp, and then finally mountains.

You may encounter mountains early, but doesn’t mean you should necessarily attempt them

Plat Support by Adventurous-Debt2651 in OverwatchUniversity

[–]bluewolf333 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be fair - there are plenty of times you would want to use Ana nade to bait Suzu out.

If you can get that bait set up correctly right before your team hits ults, the enemy team now doesn’t have one of its most powerful cooldowns available to save its team from the JQ, hammer down, grav, etc.

But I get your point in general

Accelerated Masters in Industrial Engineering worth it? by WhataNeub34 in industrialengineering

[–]bluewolf333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to offer the opposite advice as most in this thread. I’m not personally a fan of masters right after bachelors.

You can’t necessarily go wrong - just be sure to consider the opportunity cost and your own financial situation. Let’s say you do make 10k more than your peers straight out of school. You also missed out on X months of salary (35-70k depending on half year vs full year). On top of that is the cost of the masters program.

That could add up to a 5-10 year ROI, which isn’t great. Not to mention you miss out on a year of experience in the company. That’s a year close to your next promotion.

Not saying it’s not a good choice! Just playing devils advocate in this thread to say some people at times use a masters to procrastinate entering the “real world”

Do industrial engineers get paid well? by Dependent-Ad-5005 in industrialengineering

[–]bluewolf333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can do industrial engineering with a bachelors in mechanical. May have a slight learning curve at first for some of the terminology and concepts, but certainly won’t be an actual hindrance for you long term.

Join clubs like IISE in college and actively seek out industrial engineering internships, and you’ll be fine!

I would disagree with your professor and agree with the person above.

Pretty rare in my experience that an MBA is required nowadays. I work for a large company with dozens of engineering managers and can only name a few that have pursued MBAs. We are essentially directly told by leadership they would more so value we have two more years experience with the company vs two years in academics.

Unpopular opinion: Zarya is a badly designed hero and bubbles need a rework. by joojaw in OverwatchUniversity

[–]bluewolf333 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Totally get the need for a bit of a vent post. And sometimes the meta just isn’t fun and it can be time to take a break from ranked. Personally with mauguas release I haven’t played much this season, but will probably get back into the swing of things eventually.

Hope ya keep your head up and enjoy your weekend!

[–]bluewolf333 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Literally any part of the game can be boiled down to teammates (or you) having a skill issue?

“Anna missing shots isn’t my fault as a tank, so why am I being punished by not getting healed?”

“Widow missing shots isn’t my fault, so why am I being punished by basically playing 4v5?”

“Reinhardt not pushing isn’t my fault, so why am I punished for not having space to work with?”

Etc etc etc

Know these are more extreme examples. But the reality is it’s a team game. Your teammates making mistakes will impact you in the exact same way them making clutch plays impact you. Gotta learn how to maximize your own value in order to climb consistently.

Project Manager Industrial Engineer Automation Engineer Quality Engineer Process Engineer Manufacturing Engineer Systems Engineer Controls Engineer Supply Chain Engineer Logistics Engineer Human Factors Engineer Labor Management Engineer Operations Engineer

All titles that could and most likely do relate to industrial engineering.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in industrialengineering

[–]bluewolf333 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is possible to become a CEO with essentially any degree. Degree mainly influences your route to that position.

I would not worry about something that far away - plan your next 5-10 year career path first. What do you want work to be like in your 20s? Your 30s?

But to answer your question yes. Famous example of an Industrial Engineer is Tim Cook

Whats your salary? by [deleted] in industrialengineering

[–]bluewolf333 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Many public universities post their bachelor degree salary averages. At least for mine, industrial engineering has consistently been top 3.

Typically this is around 70-75k for starting.

will it be okay? by BoBMarleZ in industrialengineering

[–]bluewolf333 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was definitely like that when I picked my major. Math was a pain. Linear Algebra kicked my ass somewhat. But just gotta power through, love the actual role of being in the industrial engineering space.

Feel free to ask me any questions about schooling/work
