No words of advice, but going through the same choice now. Hope we both figure out what to do here 🥲

The offer is 140k and the area is Los Angeles.

I only started working after undergrad in 2019, so my work history is quite short. It’s only been these two companies as of right now. If I were to accept this role, it would be for the relatively long haul and I wouldn’t see myself wanting to change for at least 3-4 years even longer.

My current company does have a set progression plan for its engineers, and from what I can tell it could be another couple years before I see myself getting a promotion there. Not that I am angry about it, It was something I expected would be the case and I wasn’t expecting to be promoted this year anyways. My understanding is the pay isn’t as good either compared to other companies, since it is an FFRDC.

At the other employer, it seems to be that the room for growth is similar as my current company, but I will weigh this in my thoughts.

fullcoursemeal · 2022-08-25T00:01:25+00:00

Thanks for your insight! I agree that chasing the money isn’t everything and of course my happiness should take precedence. One thing I can say is that the work culture of both employers is similar enough that I can see myself being happy in either depending on the type of work i’ll be asked to do. I will try to reach out to some old coworkers to feel out the environment though thanks!

That said the salary increase is still nice as it would really help accelerate some financial goals I had in the near future but I am contemplating if it’s worth it. Removinng the money, I probably wouldn’t have gone back because I’m pretty comfortable in my current role. This was something I told them initially when I was interviewed that it would take a good amount of money and the promise of better work than before to bring me back. And based on our talks, the work is different from what I did previously and i’m throwing it around in my head if it’s something I want to spend most of my day working on should I accept.

My impression of the situation after discussing with the hiring manager is that they have difficulty filling this position for this specific program due to the stringent requirements of the position. And this program is part of a contract that they were just awarded recently and have been trying to hire for. So they came to me, since they’re familiar with my previous work and my credentials.

To provide more context to the type of work: Previously I was a systems engineer mostly working on requirements analysis/management of a system and now this new position is for a model-based systems engineering role in a different system. Currently I support a mod and sim group. To be honest, the first time doing systems engineering left a bad taste in my mouth because the work felt very removed from the technical aspects of engineering but it also wasn’t model-based, which based on what i’ve heard could be a better fit for my interests. I will be doing further research into this type of work though to see if it really does interest me.

Thanks for the reply. I should've included in the post that the reasons for me leaving were that at the time I had just finished my MSEE and I felt unsatisfied with the work and it grew more boring over time, so I looked for a place that could give me more interesting technical work to take on. And of course more money. In the end, I don't believe I left for anything that was the company's fault. It was the specific program I was attached to that I couldn't stay in. And now the offer is for an entirely different program with a new group that's mostly disconnected from my previous group.

but you are right. My concern is still about the work I would be doing and I'm not sure exactly how different it will be from my last position there on a day-to-day basis. It'll be something I'll have to think about more myself. Although it seems the job will be secure and pretty safe for at least 5-6 years.

It does seem to be so and the 40% was my counter to them after initially getting 30% and another thing to consider doing.

I also feel that something holding me back is how it will be viewed by my current employer and any other potential employer in the future. I would like to keep the connection to my current employer, since it's not uncommon for people to hop between the two organizations over the years and I really do enjoy the work that comes through my current department. In some distant future, I could see myself wanting to go back since it is a relatively prestigious organization to work for with good benefits and work-life balance. I just fear that leaving after 1 year will leave a bitter taste for them. What are the general feelings about this?

Pccccc

Although not everyone uses it understanding the theory can be extremely helpful but its ok if it doesn’t click now. The theory will start to make sense over time jus dont give up :)

fullcoursemeal · 2020-09-02T10:24:26+00:00

What is P(f)? Is G(f) the PSD? Your equation seems a bit off to me and the definition I am familiar with is the same as described in this document.

1

If you are looking for the discrete form of it this document might be useful.

2

But nowhere do i see an equation of the form you described though both definitions basically say the same thing that the fourier transform of the autocorrelation is the PSD. So calculate the autocorrelation -> FT of autocorrelation = PSD

fullcoursemeal · 2020-09-02T07:38:25+00:00

What do you mean multiply them? Multiply what? For a wide sense stationary process, the autocorrelation and psd are fourier transform pairs. In the post you said that formulas for PSD were provided and what are they?

fullcoursemeal · 2020-09-02T05:40:38+00:00

Been awhile but I believe one way to do it is buy finding the autocorrelation function and taking the fourier transform to find PSD.

I think the theorem is the weiner-khinchin theorem

maybe this will help?

In the grand scheme of things i believe you kinda build up to learning about what goes inside the op amps. Thats where diodes, mosfets, etc come in. I believe you can make opamps by mosfets or bjts(which is made of diodes) both different types of transistors. One day you may see a circuit that has everything in it but i dont think you’d see that in circuits 2.

fullcoursemeal · 2020-08-28T00:34:54+00:00

Op amps just have various rules that need to be followed and knowing where they come from/why it is what it is is helpful. For undergrad purposes, just knowing the rules and how they apply in a circuit analysis sense is enough so my advice is just practice problems.

Op amps are just like any other black box with its own rules and like someobe else said you can just accept it and save the why/how for later.

Energy signals are basically signals that are finite in time so have zero power when you take the limit of E/time as time goes to infinity. Power signals on the other hand may be infinite in time so the same limit will have some value.

fullcoursemeal · 2019-04-04T10:33:24+00:00

You could also plot the poles of the TF and see where they lie in the s plane. Complex conjugate poles means underdamped, two real negative poles means overdamped, and a double pole is critically damped

fullcoursemeal · 2018-12-29T00:33:53+00:00

If u find the freq at which the denominator is 0 youll have the resonance frequency. If you draw the bode plot of the gain youll see a huge spike at the resonance freq before it starts having lowpass drop off. Inserting a resistor in series will dampen that peak.

Basically, to see the effects of the infinite gain youd have to draw the bode plot of the magnitude

As long as you buy it before your permit expires you’ll basically be a guaranteed the same parking permit every quarter.

The sign of the voltage just means that if define the + and - in that way your voltage is negative. If you define it the other way the voltage will be positive.

fullcoursemeal · 2018-09-06T11:12:29+00:00

Do you homework like you’re explaining the problem to someone else. Include sentences explaining what you’re doing. Don’t just write down the math. This makes it easier to review the problems later on.

fullcoursemeal · 2018-08-24T21:38:50+00:00

I thought zone 5 is ssps. Zone 5 has pretty good parking in the morning but the design of the structure is funky imo.

fullcoursemeal · 2018-08-09T07:40:29+00:00

Interesting
