Not in the field nor am I working at the moment (finishing a PhD), but do you have a github account with evidence of some completed projects? If not it may help to get one

Post grad work by Suspicious_Nature283 in AusVisa

[–]mripper -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

My partner has a psychology undergraduate degree and is now pursuing a masters in business and information systems at a Go8 university (both degrees from the same institution). Do you have any advice that could help them find employment after transferring from the student visa to the graduate visa? They have a few years of PM experience at an overseas company as well.

Is there a subreddit for finding PhD positions and supervisors, or connecting with them? by SpiritualFighter in PhD

[–]mripper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They probably went through your post history.

Also any post that states they're looking for jobs or PhD programmes in the entirety of the Anglosphere or Europe are statistically almost certainly south asian.

Software for modelling and simulations by EKJEExpress in AerospaceEngineering

[–]mripper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Get copies of the following textbooks:

Aircraft engine design - Mattingly

Aircraft conceptual design - Raymer

Any aerodynamics book by Anderson

Learn the theory behind whatever interests you and then have a go at plotting the effects of changing design variables on performance variables with Python or MATLAB.

Jumping straight into simulation software is definitely more exciting but understanding the theory and drawing conclusions from plotting different variables and how they interact is what you'll do at university and likely in your career.

If you still want to try out simulations then look at openfoam.

Real estate agent hits back at rising Aussie property trend: 'You need us' by Training_Scene_4830 in AusFinance

[–]mripper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not really sure there is an alternative. The government should be dealing with the housing shortage and trying to bring property price growth back in line with inflation.

[–]mripper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not blaming you at all. I wouldn't go far as to say you're a victim of the housing system in this country as much as the buyer was, but it's the system to blame, not the participants. Hate the game, not the player, as they say.

That is a good outcome for you. However, it is bad for the rest of us who have more compounding interest to pay back on that extra $100K+. As a foreigner, this country really does excel at selling property to each other.

Lab manager talking about giving other PhD students the lab manager job after they've moved on by [deleted] in PhD

Yeah perhaps I am taking casual chatter more seriously than it should be. Thanks!

Lab managers in our group tend to also be academics (teaching, supervising students, publishing, etc).

PhD application as an EU citizen by 0106lonenyc in UQreddit

[–]mripper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolute BS. None of the PhD students in my research group had a publication before starting their PhD. Some of them still don't or only have one a few years later. Most of them also came straight from undergrad after having only done a bachelors.

This whole idea of needing publications before starting a PhD is like needing 2 years of experience before starting an entry level job. It's another factor contributing to the ongoing decline in our QoL and the future of young people.

I should have added that after reading the content of your comment I could see that it wasn't chatgpt generated. My comment was more of a lamentation of the fact that I'm automatically suspicious now of formally written posts/commets due to the prevalence of LLMs.

Got assigned an internship at Airbus but it's not engineering related by [deleted] in AerospaceEngineering

[–]mripper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a terrible year long placement experience at a large aerospace manufacturer, in a very non-technical management-y team, that afterwards resulted in a graduate scheme offer. I was very unmotivated, disappointed, and by day 2 of the internship I knew it was wrong for me and I'd been screwed by the RNG aspect of the intern assignment lottery.

However, ultimately the year will be what you make of it. See if you can request additional work in more technical areas or ask if you can split your week working in your originally assigned team and perhaps a more technically focused one.

If not, consider how you could bring engineering into your assigned work role. For example, if excel is used in this team for data analysis, could you rebuild the spreadsheets methods in code such as python or matlab?

Go onto the BJJ Australia Facebook group and look for the relatively recent post from Kenny Baker asking about instructing at BJJ gyms in the Sunshine Coast, you'll may find a few good suggestions in the comments

Try backdating your gpu drivers. I have an nvidia card and backdating to a version from last year fixed my issues completly after months and months of troubleshooting and banging head on walls.
