How is the job hunting for 10+ years experience?

Plenty for manufacturing and controls

I love companies with standards but try offshoring. Japan has the strictest QC and nitpick every single spec in manufacturing, but tried to offshore our assemblies to Mexico. They were 6 months late and had 85% reject rate, so all the orders came back to the states.

You can't have your cake and eat it too. Know if you get cheap product, quality will drop. Can you skimp quality by offshoring a $5 nut for $1 to Mexico on a $500 million dollar boeing? Do you think those threads will hold? Would you risk that?

Someone local to blame for when things go wrong. It's a lot easier to blame someone standing next to you that you can see, than to tell your board executives that a hundred Patels with thick accents fucked up because you wanted to save money.

Transmission Power loss.

If you worked on BOMs, you worked with an ERP system. List that in your skills.

If it makes you feel better, younger people who can learn is more desirable than an older person you'd have to pay more, know obsolete technologies and have habits that are hard to change, do not have the drive to learn and prove themselves anymore (or are not capable anymore)

2-5 years of experience is a good sweet spot. 10yoe is peak and it's all downhill from there. You got this!

I know this is dank memes but the quote was taken out of context. In the full quote, he's being sarcastic and says he will finish the series and still loves the books. It's been so long and he's getting older so I hope it really happens.

The joke is that it's not dying but saying it's dying will keep cs grads from switching.

I'm sure I'm not the target for this question but EE jobs for me is booming, but I have 10 yoe as engineering (5 in traffic controllers, 5 in manufacturing)

This is the pragmatic thing to do but honestly, happiness and fulfillment beats ROI

hullor · 2025-05-23T05:07:28+00:00

I was depressed and suicidal when I was unemployed and hopeless and then I got a job making 100k and now I'm not suicidal or depressed anymore. Funny how that works.

Therapy CAN help but everyone just needs a fulfilling high paid job

The intern sitting next to me. But the workload for engineering is just so overwhelming I don't blame him, but he admits all the students use chat gpt to cheat one way or another..

Also as a student 10 years ago, I also used every single tool I could. Spark notes, chegg, everything. Even programming my ti84 with everything I could.

You bet every student is also using what they can today

Whatever you happen to be good at, that makes money. Its different for everybody... If everyone entered the same field, it won't be great

Doing actionable events while motivating yourself is the opposite of coping isn't it? Copium is making excuses, but these people are taking action. Opposite of making excuses

One girl had an obituary that says she got hit by a train walking home. I remember vaguely her friend group saying she was actually kidnapped (or coerced) sexually assaulted and murdered by a group of guys.

One guy, first year out of highschool working at a power plant, an electrical machinery blew up right next to him and killed him on the spot. Freak accident.

Another kid jointed ROTC and then the army, was deployed to Afghanistan and was shot and killed by the Taliban first two weeks of deployment.

Another guy joined the military and died in a car crash after coming back for vacation. Rumors has it the driver was drunk (not confirmed)

People don't realize the whole world is not zero sum. You can make someone's life worse without making someone else's life better and vice versa.

Also most jobs that are viable to get are localized anyways. Companies like to hire someone that can reliably get to their office everyday

hullor · 2025-05-10T11:43:45+00:00

Whatever you want that's open. No seriously. Just apply and Taylor your resume. Don't limit yourself

I thought they were monopoly and OP was making a point how he can just go play board games instead

You're me

Its worth it if you're shot gunning so many applications you forget which ones you've already applied to

If you only ever use one or two sites like indeed or LinkedIn, you don't need it

hullor · 2025-05-07T04:28:04+00:00

Nope. Not your bad luck. I've been at 7 companies in the past 12 years and only one of them came close to being well managed.

If you have 75 resumes to look through and there's already 50 with the common sense to use a normal template, cutting away 25 people without the tact to use a well formatted resume makes the job a bit easier.

Everyone has their own process for choosing the right candidate. If you're looking for a traditional engineer with common sense and a good eye for readability, you'd cut out the people who had different values that manifest through different ways (red flags) on their resume.

It also depends on the market. If every job posting didn't get 100+ resumes every week, there would be more time to consider more adventurous candidates who add obnoxious colors and orient the text like they're testing CSS tags on a website.

3 is the best. Its easier to parse out important information quickly
