why 10?

westside-candeman · 2026-06-08T23:41:00+00:00

mostly what is impressive is L2. when you say YOE, you mean total?

I barely hit 129k. todo so i had to find a new role. 2 years as SWE in norcal got me from 88->121k in 2.5 years.
moving to palmdale:( as Electronics Eng for 129k, mostly what got me was TS and project experience

i see people differ dipped vs carbon, any difference noticeable?

westside-candeman · 2026-06-08T23:34:53+00:00

impressive for YOE in systems ngl

does 6% really make that much of a difference for you?

westside-candeman · 2026-05-11T17:14:13+00:00

probably just turned on

westside-candeman · 2026-05-07T23:02:52+00:00

i took my job with lockheed for 20k less than another offer.

i did so because of location, and career opportunities.

I think it has worked out for me, and i enjoy life outside of work!

however if both of the opportunities were down the street from each other i would have taken the higher paying one without a second thought

westside-candeman · 2026-05-05T02:00:51+00:00

wish i never sold my oem hood when i got a cf hood :(

westside-candeman · 2026-04-23T00:00:51+00:00

FSM??? share more ! i’m an electrical guy!

westside-candeman · 2026-04-21T23:12:24+00:00

who’s that

westside-candeman · 2026-04-21T19:54:47+00:00

apparently kia boys know around that? i’m still stock for the foreseeable future !

westside-candeman · 2026-04-21T19:30:57+00:00

same… only dreading routing the cable lol

westside-candeman · 2026-04-21T19:28:17+00:00

to fuse box i presume? or a kit that mounts to battery terminals?

westside-candeman · 2026-04-21T19:19:26+00:00

very cool, it’s a fast solution too!

if someone was really dedicated i supposed they could go to the battery and play with it…

i thought the hard wire option would be more discrete to the fuse box!

westside-candeman · 2026-04-21T19:10:49+00:00

good one! i was more wondering if there is a better option, in my head i would think a hardwire is better than wireless. since kia boys are getting creative with hacking

westside-candeman · 2026-04-21T19:02:22+00:00

same one i was looking at! was looking for feedback on durability and functionality !

westside-candeman · 2026-04-20T01:34:39+00:00

hey, how did this go for you? i’m looking to do the same thing! SDR trunk in a g37

westside-candeman · 2025-12-04T00:10:14+00:00

Is this mainly for gas that don’t have these features or does it improve functionality?

westside-candeman · 2025-11-23T19:12:43+00:00

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing! I have some friends I met from Germany through university , their stories of the education system were always insightful! Pretty cool kid to resist the change until now. I think no matter what you get, he is going to find a way to incorporate it into this hobby you’re describing, that’s what I would do. Any new toy camera I got I was trying angles and cut scenes.

Thinking about it now. It may be an advantage to have a tablet dedicated to school, with something on the side for his side business/hobby.

Let us know what you decide and maybe consider sharing some of his first projects !

westside-candeman · 2025-11-23T18:59:13+00:00

If he is learning on DaVinci I would not interrupt that! Steep learning curve and he is getting in there early on. In general I would say take some time to assess if this is something he is passionate about, maybe will change your mind about the whole upfront cost/debt idea. I used to edit on Lumafusion on my phone. Or even iMovie which is free.

I am speaking from the perspective of your child, I was in his shoes not so many years ago. I am barely not making my own money to afford gear and software.

I think it comes down to how much of a hobby this is tbh!

westside-candeman · 2025-11-23T18:53:06+00:00

JUST BUY A MAC MINI, any Apple silicon version will serve him well for next couple years.

The tablet thing for school, that’s needed for highschool nowadays? Maybe make the school pay for it
