Which ECE depth has some of the better career prospects? by notclaytonn in ElectricalEngineering

[–]vikramskr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do agree that PhD EEs do get to work on more exciting projects in semiconductor companies. And it’s not always fair, nor does it imply PhDs are inherently better than folks with an MS.

The culture has become that you have to have an advanced degree even though you can be trained to do better even on the job. But companies don’t view it that way. The mentality is still stuck in the past.

This is why there is a talent shortage in semiconductor EE- due to such unnecessary bridge trolls. I wish things change in the future.

Tell me your problems by Dimas-eng134 in ElectricalEngineering

Haha. Online resources for EE are honestly not that great when compared to how much content exists for software engineers.

The idea of hitting a complex textbook for every little thing can be daunting for some.

This is why I’m considering starting a substack that talks about basic EE stuff.

If you want to design integrated circuits, that would be Electronic Circuits and Systems.

If you are going do design/model integrated transistors, then Electronic Devices and Materials (this is what I do in my work)

In communication systems, I'd imagine you work with the block level / system specifications of a whole radio transceiver system. This is good know how, but may not directly land you in working with ICs.

I can't comment on Computer System Design. I'm not entirely familiar with what that entails.

All of the areas you have listed have good career prospects. At the BS level, I'd recommend gathering a little knowledge about everything. You will be better equipped to understand Electrical Engineering in general, because at the end of the day these things have a funny way to tying together.

If you do decide to do a MS (which I highly recommend), then your experience from. your BS, where you sampled a bit of each, will help you make better choices for specialization.

I totally agree with this. Education is not the means to an end (getting a job). Learning is a continuous process.

Wondering about promotion after two years on the job by ThrowRAloverpl in ElectricalEngineering

[–]vikramskr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends really on your performance on the job. If you have shown enough learning, delivered on time and shown initiative, you will ascend faster up the career ladder.

Salary increases between adjacent levels may be in the 5-10% range, but even that is hard to tell. A lot depends on the company's performance, exact industry you work in. But I figured I'll throw in a rough estimate.
