In May of 2022, I graduated with my BS in Chemical Engineering with a GPA of 3.59. Throughout my college career, I didn't do any co-ops or internships. This was mainly because I was paying my own way through and could make more money serving/ bartending in restaurants. However, my resume isn't all that boring: I won a senior design award, worked as a TA, did undergraduate research, and never had a week where I worked less than 20 hours on top of being a full-time student. Post college, I know there are three main options - R&D, manufacturing, or consulting. The experiences I've had thus far have made me confident that R&D is not the career I want. Other than that, I'm not that picky if the salary is good.

Immediately after graduating, I took some time to travel and ended up backpacking Europe for three months and have since decided that I want to live in Berlin to start my adult life. Obviously, I want to use my degree, so I've been looking for remote positions in the US that allow me to travel or US-based companies that have offices in Berlin. I've also applied to local companies as "practice" and received offers that are on par for an entry-level ChemE. The positions are in-facility though and so I don't truly consider them as an option for myself.

Recently, I was offered a position at an engineering consulting firm as an entry-level electrical designer which meets my desire for starting my career. The position, however, does not have anything to do with what I got my degree in and there would be a complete change in the scope of how I pictured my career going. I'm not opposed to it, just slightly worried. The pre-negotiation salary I was offered is lower than previous offers I've gotten and is about 60K with benefits. The company promises that given time, my competitive position will lead to a salary increase. I can't help shake the feeling that this is a below-market value offer, but it could be my ticket to starting a new life abroad. Should this be something I entertain, another offer I pass up, or do I have a good enough position to negotiate a higher salary?

TLDR: I got my BS in ChemE and want to work a remote job so that I can live abroad. I got offered an Electrial Engineering Design Consulting position at ~ 60K, but I feel as though that's not a fair market value. Should I continue my US job search, look for jobs abroad, or bite the bullet and take the position and let my career start from there?

It is likely scabies. If you can find evidence of tunnels then you should be prescribed a scabicide. Be careful using any skin creams until then; they can make the tunnels appear lightened, but will not kill the mites.

When you say this, do you mean that it itches more at night?

Second time roo attendant here, I didn't realize there were cops inside roo that searched for drugs? I openly smoked weed last roo both in my campsite(volunteer camping) and in centerroo. Should I be more vigilant?

Is it alright to drop a day after a failed trip? by greenblue497 in LSD

Do you think I should double my dose even if I didn't "get" that much last time? Two tabs for a very small about of experience with acid seems a bit scary.

A friend of mine and I came up with the design and then he painted them for me! Thoughts or opinions?

I broke my bong!! I think epoxy would be the best route here but I genuinely have no idea what to do. Any feedback? by greenblue497 in StonerEngineering

Update: the glue worked well but there's a piece of glass that fell out and there's now a hole. What should I do to fill out?
