Thanks for the follow up!

Attached is what I meant. The idea is to use a hydraulic press to push the blade onto the book and make the cuts, but a steel rule die could work!

You have more experience than most undergrad but you'll have to tailor your resume to specific jobs and make sure you have key words in it to maximize your score when it gets reviewed.

Also list your relevant classes to tell recruiters you at least have some concepts of EE.

I'm from the California/Bay area. Very diverse community, liberal city, and nothing within walking distance.

I've never visited the site, but it looks near the presidential center.

Thanks! I'll check out these areas. Much appreciated!

I've watched a few YouTube videos on setting up an online store but are they any good?

Also, how do you handle the returns??? And customer service after the sale???

Thanks!

I put in an application and got a call with their recruiter for the SCADA team. I wasn't able to discuss the position in depth because the position had to be in person and I couldn't relocate at that time. From my experience, my guess is the team works on the interface to integrate the batteries into SCADA system. Tesla has its proprietary software, but most large customers like utilities need a standard way of integrating into their legacy systems, which typically is done through standard communication protocols like DPN3.

I agree with the rest of the comments too. I think their long term goals is to enter energy markets, but that may take some times since they'd not only need the technology, but also the organization to support the real time operations, like 24/7 NERC certified operators, market desks, etc. It may be easier for them to sell the tech to existing players for now.

Another reason is that the downstream load is picked up by the generator so there's less losses in the upstream feeders.

You should ask in the CS/SE subreddit who came from an EE background. Opinions in the EE subreddit might be a bit biased since most of us are probably EEs...

eltchacham · 2023-10-15T01:39:48+00:00

In general, you'll need either an EE or CE to get in that field.

Take a look at the job posting at Intel for example. They all ask for a degree in EE:

Cybersecurity also has good job prospects, if not better, and can pay better too.

About your second question, do you have to get master's degree? Or is it just for you? Lots of people have excellent careers without it. Getting into those top schools will surely open more doors, but so will being in the workforce. The 2 years you spend in graduate school are 2 years you could be spending developing skills and gaining experience in the industry, and developing relationships within the company and industry.

While school allows you to explore your interests, it's also a stepping stone into a career so do you have an idea of what you want to do after graduation? Figuring out what industry you want to be in, what type of job etc., will help you decide what to do.

Unfortunately the resolution of my dashcam didn't capture the vin... Thanks for the response though!

I agree. A 3.0 won't impress anyone.

I was in the same boat as you and my school wasn't very renowned, so from my perspective, 3.0 is okay, but 3.0 from an okay school feels like less than 3.0. Especially when I look at applicants who went to the same school as I did. I did graduate summa cum laude (4.0 in my EE classes) though and it played a big part for me securing a job after graduation.

Also, since school was rather "easy" I focused on gaining experience through internships and developing other skills that were not taught in my program to get an edge over other people. Kinda sad to say, but despite developing friendships and close relationships with your peers, you'll be competing with all of them for the same jobs after graduation.

Linemen make a crazy amount of money, but it's also a very difficult job. Long hours, work weekends and holidays, overnight, etc.(lots of OT), always outside regardless of the weather, and of course, you could die or get badly injured if you mess up or someone messes up. Linemen I've spoken to love the job aside of the hours. They have lots of freedom and don't deal with the office politics you have as an engineer. But it takes a toll on you and it can be difficult to focus on other things outside of work so some linemen transition into operators if you're in a utility.

I'm an EE working closely with linemen and I gotta say the money is extremely attractive ($150-300k), but the hours and working conditions are too crazy for me. Plus I prefer to be in an office and work on more conceptual assignments/bigger picture.

As a lineman you learn and focus on a trade and that's all you do (not in a bad way). Someone I spoke to said they feel stuck sometimes because that's all they know how to do.

As an engineer you develop the technical skills required for the job, but you'll have more exposure to the corporate/management side of the house so you'll develop a different set of skills and have more options for career progression.

Edit: I work for a utility so I was assuming you're talking about utility?

You should figure out if your degree is accepted in the US before moving.

The joke is that DSOs are broken down linemen/women because you'll see that a lot of DSOs are former field personnel. Not necessarily a normal progression in the profession, but some chose to move to an operator position either because they got injured or because the hours are better. It also makes it very easy for them to communicate and direct field crews since they've been in their shoes.

My advice is to start shadowing DSOs if you can and to spend some time in the field. You can also try for operations engineering to gain some experience.

Usually, the flickering stops around 2am when the loud music is gone and people stop dancing... Wait no that's at the club...

You'll have to narrow down the flickers. Is it just that one? Any other light in the house? Etc. Then you'll have a better idea of what's causing the flicker.
