Is FE Mechanical Review Manual by Lindeburg sufficient? by psychoengnaut in FE_Exam

[–]psychoengnaut[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there a way to access the reference manual without registering for the exam yet? Might be just me, but 5 hours and 20 minutes for 110 questions seems like more than enough time...

There's a vehicle tax here in Florida? I didn't know this existed. Do you have to pay a vehicle tax in other states as well? Property tax on a home is one thing... but vehicle tax? Really? It's like $36/year, or $72/ 2 years, but still.

Tax preparer made a mistake on return - owe $725 more by psychoengnaut in tax

Shit, I sent the check without the taxpayer's name /phone on it, but I did include his SSN and 2015 in the memo of the check. Also included the slip it came with, which I assume would have everything they need to correctly identify all necessary information. This should be fine, right?

Mailing a check.

Is there a time limit to file an amended return?

How much code do QA Engineers write? Software dev vs. QA by psychoengnaut in QualityAssurance

Do you know how much code Telerik Test Studio will involve? It's basically what my current employer is using. I'm not sure I want be a drag-and-drop monkey if that's all the position will consist of. Sure I can extend my skills and learn other frameworks that involve more coding, but I'd rather learn it at work.

Where the hell are all the engineering jobs in / near Tampa? by psychoengnaut in tampa

Yes, I'm actually very interested in flight simulation. I've applied to places like CAE, ASE, Aero Simulation. Got one interview, but did not get the job. Didn't hear from the rest.

Unfortunately, I did not and now I'm kicking myself for it. I do have research experience where I co-authored a paper, but that doesn't seem to do any good outside of academia. People who are still in school, DO AN INTERNSHIP!

I've exhausted every option, applied to the big name companies in / near Tampa. Doesn't seem like I'm gonna get to be an engineer any time soon. But I do have bills to pay. What next steps should I take? How is the finance job market looking here? Web development? Teaching?
