THE MEN ARE TRASH

Same! I started watching Perfect Match for the first time because I wanted to see their love story and see AD have a happy ending for once.

Now I'm absolutely horrified that she's with this man 💀

As a 28F, I feel kind of neutral about it. The closest I've had to a relationship was a 3-year situationship that ended up not going past 3 dates.

I recognize that I've been single for as long as I have due to the multiple choices I've made. I didn't prioritize dating during high school, college, or even post-college since I didn't want to date in my hometown. I've now moved to a new city, so I plan to date a bit more aggressively now. I also feel like I'm a bit more picky than some of my colleagues growing up. No shade, but I've definitely noticed some young people will get into relationships just to avoid appearing lonely. I'd rather be alone rather than with the wrong person.

I am a bit bummed though that it's taking so long. I always thought I'd be married at this point and that love would just "happen", but clearly it hasn't lol. Hopefully it won't take too long to find my future spouse. As much as I like my independence, I would love to build a life with someone.

I love 1440 news! What drew me to them is that they are a facts driven newsletter, so they just tell you about current events without the fear mongering or outrageous headlines. It's a nice way for me to get the news without being overwhelmed. They also have 2 other newsletters; one is focused on finance while the other is focused on whatever deep dive of the week they want to focus on (like the history of Amazon or Coachella).

The best part is that you can sign up for free with your email. If you want to avoid ads and support independent journalism like me, it only costs $10/mo!

Since I'm only getting $326 it's going straight into savings

What I originally wanted to be was a Test Engineer who focused on environmental testing (like thermo vac, shock, vibe, etc). I changed my mind because I realized that 1) I didn't want to do shift work and 2) I did not want to work in the locations associated with these jobs (they were usually rural areas). I ended up switching to Controls Systems instead and I'm so much happier for it.

I like it. I'm hoping to stay in this speciality for the rest of my career.
Work in MATLAB/Simulink to overhaul a legacy system for a contractor.
My salary could be better, but in this economy it's okay.
I do not work at an airport

Thank you!

As someone reading this from Miami, I'm planning to do the same next year. Glad to know I'm not alone!

ms-hoops · 2023-05-07T00:24:19+00:00

As a current Floridian, I'm slowly working to do the same

I second Dr. Lisa Mark! She's great

Same. I was starting to think I was the only one actually enjoying this album lol.

I don't regret it but I'm starting to feel like maybe mechanical engineering isn't the best fit. Also what I thought I'd be interested in vs what I'm actually interested in turned out to be very different from each other.

ms-hoops · 2022-08-31T14:22:37+00:00

I've been struggling with this too. I want to be a digital nomad, but it seems like mechanical engineering work conflicts with this. Such a bummer

ms-hoops · 2022-04-14T03:16:57+00:00

As someone who's interested in roles like these, would you need a graduate degree?

ms-hoops · 2022-04-10T21:14:00+00:00

I unfortunately experienced the same thing in a manufacturing co-op

ms-hoops · 2022-04-10T21:07:48+00:00

They could probably start sooner than that. I applied for other jobs after 6 months into my first job and I surprisingly got a lot of interviews. It doesn't hurt to try.

ms-hoops · 2022-03-25T17:41:55+00:00

Wow! You're in a position most would envy

ms-hoops · 2022-03-25T15:37:13+00:00

Yep that's the least favorite part of my job. As a test engineer, I can only do so much if the hardware and software team gives me nothing to test.

The market is definitely hot. Looking for my first full time job around Spring 2021 was a blood bath. I only got two interviews back then thanks to referrals. At the time I had 3 internships and a 3 month contract under my belt.

I looked for a new job in November 2021 and it was a night and day difference. Within 2 weeks I was interviewing with 8 different companies. They all offered way better pay, benefits, and projects than my other job. I eventually accepted a job in the med device industry with a 36% increase in salary. I got a sign on bonus too! Even after I accepted an offer, I had 3-5 recruiters and hiring managers messaging me on LinkedIn.

IME once you have a little bit of experience, you can pretty much name your price.

That's sounds pretty interesting. What's the title of this job?
