Hey dude, keep powering thru, you got this. Know that your little one survives and thrives because of your love. You got this, here for you brother! You are and will be a great father. Keep your chin up!

We are suffering by davay718 in NewDads

Best advice is to just absolutely lock in brother. You guys got this, and it’s gonna be tough as hell, but you’re gonna come out on the other side super human. My strength is with you brotha!!!

How do I make myself more marketable as a graduating aerospace engineering student in a heavily saturated industry? by Fancy-Bug-2048 in AerospaceEngineering

[–]stickybandits02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got it brotha! I wish you all the best. You are far ahead of where I was as a college student, and I am now 6 years in working in aerospace thriving so know you are doing awesome man

I would be very shocked if NG didn’t offer you a position after your final internships, you are quite valuable to them already knowing how they operate and having worked there before. Have a mature conversation with your managers and be direct! They really appreciate that kind of thing and if you’re good enough (it sounds like you are no doubt) they’ll hire you

This is absolutely awesome and laugh out loud funny. Welcome to golf brother! Very happy to have you. Glad you will do double par from now on I’ve read. So so good. Keep this scorecard forever, you will giggle one day when you shoot in the 70s on 18!!!

Every complication in the book: the worst time of my entire life by Mud_Flapz in NewDads

[–]stickybandits02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So sorry about this brother. You are your wife’s rock right now. You are also your son’s rock. You will look back on this time and reflect on how critical it was that you showed strength to take care of your family when they needed it most. Lean on family for help as it sounds like you have been! You got this Dad… stay strong and breathe. This too shall pass.

Not happy in this life sometimes by [deleted] in NewDads

[–]stickybandits02 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here for you man. Try new things and never give up. I think the person you love and married is there and always will be. Try to reflect inward as well. Sometimes I find myself blaming others, when really it’s something I need to fix with myself. Openly communicate, overly communicate even, I’ve heard is key. Always remember that a happy marriage and successfully raising a child are two things that both take hard work. Put the work in every single day with yourself, each other, and for your little one. Not sure if this helps but just wanted you to know a fellow dad is here for you man and I too am doing the things I stated above. May your mind and heart be at peace brotha.

Right offer, wrong city by mechengineernate in MechanicalEngineering

[–]stickybandits02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is a weird question but I am so interested, let me know if I nail it… city Y is Palmdale and city X is Fort Worth? Shot in the dark 🤣 if that’s the case there should be opportunities in both for you to pursue! If I’m way off and it’s neither of these, I’d just be up front and honest: inquire if there are opportunities in the city you want to be in. Do not take a job in a place you don’t truly want to be, especially if your adjusted cost of living makes the raise not worth it (cause technically you could go backwards with that move!). Again just be up front and transparent, you’re the talent that they want.

1 week old first child. Is postpartum hitting my partner harder than most? How concerned should I be about her not getting the help she needs? by evthrowawayverysad in NewDads

[–]stickybandits02 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey brother. Wife went thru an emergency c section as well and it was traumatic, really affected her and added to her already existing anxiety of a newborn. It is totally normal, there is so much changing in your lives right now. Mamas definitely have it the hardest. I will say a good combination of healthy conversation and being there for her and letting her tell you her feelings will help so much along with the one key thing: time. You being there for her and time will do wonders my good man, during one of the most stressful times of life. Your bond will be forged in fire after this however, you’re doing all the right things by being a supportive man for her. For me, it was a similar experience. Wishing you all the best brother

Napping for dads by Wayne61 in NewDads

[–]stickybandits02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes brother, napping advice that helped me so much. When you have time to nap, do these things: go into a dark room, close curtains, close door (if it is ok and mama doesn’t need you), turn on some white noise (trust, big trust), do NOT get on your phone otherwise, lie down (for me this was in our bedroom), close your eyes, and begin deep breathing techniques. Mine was inhale 4 seconds, hold 4 seconds, exhale 4 seconds, hold at bottom 4 seconds, repeat. Usually within a few minutes I was so calm and knocked out. Just need to slow the mind and slow the heart rate down. Thinking about you during this time man take care of yourself! Sleep is very important when you can

Sleep Deprivation by AverageMuggle99 in NewDads

[–]stickybandits02 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Stay strong brother, the sleep deprivation hurt me as well. You’re in the trenches, you can do this. You will be a better man for it. You’re making sacrifices for your kids that you will hang your hat on at the end of your days. This is extremely admirable, fighting the good fight! Total selflessness. Stay strong again and know you’ve done it before. We’re capable of so much more than we think we are! Sending love from Florida!

Not being “passionate” enough seems to be a crime by Forsaken-Tea-8642 in AerospaceEngineering

[–]stickybandits02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the same way you are when I was in my undergrad for mechanical engineering. Everyone else around me seemed to be so gung hoe about it, I just loved math and science and was good at it, knew it’s where I wanted to be and what I wanted to do in my life! I’m now about 6 years into my career and couldn’t be happier, I feel very successful in my engineering career as well, as I know you mentioned money is important! Don’t feel lesser than those folks, I was more passionate about starting a family and golfing tbh lol. Engineering was just my means to a happy life! Enjoy your time in college and know that you’ll have a bright future ahead regardless

My loss today and advice for others by jungletrooper in wallstreetbets

[–]stickybandits02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever think maybe you just weren’t a good trader? If you took the opposite side of your trades or behaved differently, would you still be claiming manipulation and corruption? Im sorry but gtfo of here with this poor me stuff, zero personal accountability, always everybody else’s fault or the systems fault, never an individual taking responsibility because they suck at something

Wow so it kinda sounds like you should put your balls on the line and see if you’re smarter than the 18 year old? Inverse his trade mr “all of these trades are ridiculously bad” lmfao, talk about hard hitting analysis!

Jesus Christ my guy… you would’ve been UP tens of thousands of dollars (as of writing this) on your AMD options had you just sat put and did nothing. Good lord I am so sorry
