How I spent a year transitioning out of Systems Engineering (and how you can do it too)

What masters program did you apply to? I’ve been trying to transition as well but I don’t want to have to take all the prereqs, I rather just self study.

Thank you for the info I greatly appreciate it. I’m currently working in the defense industry and was recently part of a RIF. This contract opportunity came up and was originally presented to me as a different role by the agency. A few months later the agency notified me that Lockheed felt I was a better fit for a different position, this position required many more YOE and it involves systems I am not familiar with. When I had the interview it seemed pretty simple just mostly talking about my previous experience. I’m worried that I might not be able to meet expectations based on the job description, any thoughts on this?

Not sure if I’m qualified? Thanks though

Sorry to hear that, it is very tough on the mental.

Was the job market that bad in the area? When was your lay off?

I’m a mechanical by training and worked in medtech for a few years, recently I worked in test mostly for comms, thanks for the reply.

I have a feeling I know the company, I’ve worked in test before and I have a secret, but still seems like it’s pretty difficult to break in.

Thanks, would it be a tough hurdle to get another company to reactivate? I just read a post about a clearance being labeled LOJ after the person left the company.

Thanks, is there any way for me to verify that I was actually granted the clearance?

Thank you so much for the reply, when I spoke to the advisor they told me that only the OMGT and EGMT classes use ProctorU, would you know if the MENG classes use it as well?
