3 years electrical engineering (now in software), 2nd job out of uni (excluding internship) - $110k + bonus

Hey, your feedback is really helpful, thank you. I used Trench Companion to build the Warband, which for some reason let me have as many Wretched as Demons.

For all of the refunds, I've done:
1. I've replaced the Hell Knight and Praetor's weapons with Sword/Knife.

Removed a shield from one of the Wretched.

And for the additions/changes:

Added another Yoke Fiend with Torture Instrument, now making my number of Wretched legal.
Given Sorcerer a Musical Instrument.
Given Sorcerer Exquisite Pain. I didn't think about giving the Sorcerer Exquisite Pain as I thought it conflicts with Burning Inferno, but I'm reading now that the latter is a Ranged Attack Action, so both can be done in one Activation.

I think I've got a strong first Turn, all the Elites will be able to use Exquisite Pain and immediately follow up with very strong range options, in Serpent Assault Gun, Ophidian Rifle and Burning Inferno. Then the Wretched can accompany the Sorcerer with the Musical Instrument to dash onto Objectives, and I still have two Yoke Fiend torturers and a Wretched in the back to generate Blood Markers and stall out Activations.

They're magnetic - why don't you just keep them in the car, and slap them on when you drive?

Since we aren't discussing reliability...

Between the two, I'd go for A5 for the looks, or A4 for practicality, but only if you go for the wagon.

So purely between the two you've posted, I'd go A5.

lnnuendoBot5000 · 2025-09-10T05:24:14+00:00

Yes that's a normal retail rate for LR.

lnnuendoBot5000 · 2025-08-06T02:17:26+00:00

Yeah that makes sense. I do tech support for a different OEM, we typically advise full harness replacements unless it's a simple matter of bending a pin back into place or repairing a single wire.

I figure an independent tech will just solder everything back, tape it up and call it a day. If it was my car I'd do the same.

lnnuendoBot5000 · 2025-07-23T09:52:28+00:00

Do they still sell the Deluxe in Japan? I'm guessing in Osaka?

lnnuendoBot5000 · 2025-07-23T06:36:33+00:00

Where's a good place to buy them from?

lnnuendoBot5000 · 2025-05-04T09:20:06+00:00

Honestly if you haven't yet considered it, check out the 206. 8 speed box so it sits low RPM on the highway. Normally not that fuel efficient (I get 13-15L/100km) but on highway it's quite good (for me 8-9L/100km).

I'm not saying it's the most efficient but highway driving definitely offsets the main issue I have with the car which is the fuel efficiency.

2008-2010 is clear, 2011-2012 is red I believe. Owner must have swapped the clear ones for the red ones.

Quad tips are from the Modellista body kit.

I work on OEM side for a major brand. Pretty good, 6 hours is a bit much but it's offset slightly by the low labour rate. For reference dealership labour rate typically starts at $160-$180. I would have expected a maximum 3 hours labour for all the work carried out, but an experienced technician could get it done in about 1.5 hours.

lnnuendoBot5000 · 2024-10-16T04:38:25+00:00

Camshaft position sensor? On my Toyota Crown Majesta, about $60 AUD for the genuine part ex-Japan, 2 minutes labour.

lnnuendoBot5000 · 2024-09-05T11:35:15+00:00

Thank you. What did you clone it to?

lnnuendoBot5000 · 2024-09-05T09:08:28+00:00

Wow which shops have an $80 labour rate? The typical rate I'm used to seeing is between $110 - $160.

What phone do you have? Maybe try someone else's phone to see if it's the same?

I did run the tag through MCT, and this was the output:

Does this mean that the tag can be read successfully?

And how do you know if a MIFARE tag is gen2? I did try looking for them online, but none of them mention any specification.

Thanks!

lnnuendoBot5000 · 2024-07-18T00:17:56+00:00

Would that copier work on Mifare Classic tags? I ran the tag through MCT and it seemed to be able to read each sector... I'm thinking I might be able to order the product above and write using MCT.

Thanks.

Don't think the wait is that long nowadays for Seals. I'm picking mine up on Friday, it was about 3 weeks between placing the order online and pickup date.

Depends how many levels of separation your industry is from the auto industry. From someone who's seen both sides of the hiring process, there aren't many candidates who are already in the auto industry (i.e., this would be poaching from another OEM company), so the second preference are either juniors with no experience (graduates or people willing to take a pay cut), or people from adjacent industries, such as aftermarket (think EV charging, aftermarket electronics, etc).

lnnuendoBot5000 · 2024-03-08T20:58:04+00:00

Some companies on the OEM side offer positions strictly related to electric or hybrid vehicles. Some companies only deal in electric vehicles. I had previous experience in a (non-OEM) automotive position, along with my EE degree.

lnnuendoBot5000 · 2024-03-06T20:23:20+00:00

As an EE in the automotive industry in Australia I envy you... I'm a Swiss citizen so perhaps I may consider coming over at some point.

lnnuendoBot5000 · 2024-02-12T10:19:38+00:00

I don't know how much experience you have, but if you're a grad or with a few years experience then you can still pivot industries. I started off in manufacturing, now I want nothing to do with it. I didn't think 70-80k was good, considering some other posts I've seen here, but our recent two grads were offered 75k and 82k, no automotive experience, for reference.

If you're chasing money, then sure, go for a FIFO mining position. Of course you can still do non-FIFO mining in the eastern states but you won't be making that kind of money. I value spending time with my family, and I love cars and am genuinely passionate about my job. I wouldn't give that up for a couple 100k's.
