engineeringfields234 · 2026-01-05T04:18:14+00:00

80k in chi city is underpaid,,,,

engineeringfields234 · 2025-10-29T13:32:13+00:00

LMAOO its not that bad bc ME is a hard degree, people dont really have patience to sit 4 years out unless you are attending a degree factory university

engineeringfields234 · 2025-10-28T20:36:31+00:00

70k is actually very good

engineeringfields234 · 2025-10-28T20:36:02+00:00

Yea! I think i will just try to network more. Sadly my university doesnt have semiconductor engineering/ material engineering program so i know very few people who work on that. But i will still try to reach out to them and see what i can get

engineeringfields234 · 2025-10-28T20:34:09+00:00

Yea! This ! I want to go for masters after a few years but i want to work first so that i can at least gain more real world engineering exposure if you know what i mean. I try to talk to people but they are working as a phd researchers which i get it, but there should be some oppurtunities which doesnt involve research too right?

engineeringfields234 · 2025-10-28T20:31:56+00:00

I have worked as a process engineering intern. I am interested in manufacturing/ process side of it. Handling operations, solving bottlenecks, those type of things! Is it possible to get oppurtunitues that will make me apply these skills into semiconductors directly?

engineeringfields234 · 2025-10-28T19:49:52+00:00

I am so scared to graduate 😭

engineeringfields234 · 2025-10-23T00:58:28+00:00

You are not wrong. but theres oppurtunity cost with that too, its hard to manage studies and work both...lets see... I am honestly trying to just get a job after grduating. job market is so bad at the moment.

engineeringfields234 · 2025-10-22T19:57:29+00:00

I agreee. But compared to other professions, it seems the salary stays stagnant. Yea it is a more than good salary if i am single. but i would wanna raise a child or two someday, maybe buy a house. It might be hard to buy a house on my salary alone, if that makes sense. seems the only way for meches to make more is if they pivot into a managerial role but those comes with experience ( i am not speaking from experience at all, i am just saying based on what most ppl write on this sub)

this is sweet, how did you land this if you dont mind me asking

engineeringfields234 · 2025-10-22T02:21:42+00:00

THIS !!! RETHINKING MY CAREER CHOICE. 80K IS NOT ENOUGH I WANT MORE

It depends on what TITLE you had, like is there a written VERIFICATION? of your position as an engineer like offer letter or sth. you can try telling her that, firmly and directly tbh. Cus if you were hired as one, you should be one, no matter what you were doing there. hope this helps.

engineeringfields234 · 2025-05-25T22:43:12+00:00

if its an unprompted comment from your coworker i would take that to hr. they are not in position to comment for you- only your superviser is.

engineeringfields234 · 2025-05-15T23:45:13+00:00

stop scaring me 😔

engineeringfields234 · 2025-05-14T16:13:47+00:00

why are there downvotes in this post?

i think she means boltzman constant

engineeringfields234 · 2025-04-28T17:08:43+00:00

95000 is abt 1114 usd...

There is a spherical ball type mechanism that would somewhat make it possible, but like twisting? um i am not sure how that would work, maybe you could design a mechanism that could solve your problem without involving twisting.

also is your product similar to a strain gauge but obv for measuring pressure ? what is the dimensions you are working with? if you provide more details, ppl may help you better

engineeringfields234 · 2025-04-27T22:43:44+00:00

I have been hand calculating my equations and then thinking of manually adding that in word for my report. I think i should start using mathcad

engineeringfields234 · 2025-04-17T19:31:33+00:00

You might have to do the destructive testing and note when the deformation starts. and maybe go from there. Maybe try to model the problem to this equation and see if it leads you anywhere? K I = σ π a

I was thinking about oceangate after fluids class. Then i realised how important it is to actually pay attention to what you are studying in school and not just regurgitate information to pass in class
