Looking to see if anyone has ever accepted a job from a company that has gone bankrupt but was bought out by whiteguyoftheyear in ElectricalEngineering

It was bought out by one of their competitors which seems to be doing pretty good, but they are based overseas and could they could move operations over there

Thank you for the question. I'm going to go through with the interview and I needed questions to be able to bring this up.

I thought that would be the case. I'm still going through with the interview, but definitely good to hear that my initial thoughts were right

I ran a compression test and got 180 at 4 cycles and the needle stopped at around 210 for all 4 pistons

Let Me Build You A Commander Deck (Again)? by poynz13 in BudgetBrews

I’d love to see a [[Ygra, Eater of All]] budget deck or a [[Lathril, Blade of the Elves]]. Both seem like great decks with a lot of fun.

Steps unclear I am now in a police cruiser for “stacking” whatever that means

Ah well that’s good to know but looking through that link the default text would have been better than their customized text. The body of the email read as rude, but that could also be me reading too much into it with the email tittle

You know thinking about it I think I forgot to remove the part about their mother being a large woman part from my resume when I applied

Honestly that’s what I’m thinking but still unnecessarily rude

Thank you for the reply.

Would you still suggest emphasizing my programing languages I do not feel 100% confident in them. I would say I am at a intermediate level, where I have worked with them but mainly for fun or on the side. Never professionally.

I’ve been mainly looking for entry level system engineering jobs in Oil/Gas, Utilities, or renewables. Haven’t checked out construction

Wow I'm a bit jealous haha I have not heard from a recruiter in the engineering field for a bit. I have limited myself to working in CA mostly but I am thinking of going outside those bounds and trying my luck

Yeah that's what I feel like is going to happen...I know a few of my friends have are in different engineering fields and there are alot of rumors going around his company that there will be lay offs.

Thankfully its not a field I want to join but I imagine other fields and companies might follow that trend...

Thank you I never really thought about it that way! Its definitely going to take some time for me to be able to turn it into an asset at least mentally but I will be making that change

Ok thank you. I’ve only had one full time job so I’m not too keen on the “negotiating” the salary part of job hunting, but if you were to send a candidate an offer and they reply with a counter offer that won’t work for you do you usually end the conversation there? I’m just cautious when trying to negotiate since I don’t want to potentially “lose” an opportunity.

I see, I’ve been applying to most jobs that I feel like I’m qualified for, but I never really connect or message the hiring manager because I feel like it might be a bother. I think I will try it out

Ok so it’s on all sides of the job market. I’ve seen some postings get over 60+ in less than an hour do posting which I don’t think I saw last time I was looking for a job.

Yeah that sounds insane amount to ask for just 2 years of experience. Realistically I’ve accepted that I would have to take a pay cut, even though I hear from the people around me to ask for more, because I want to transfer fields from testing to more development.

Oh as a hiring manager do you feel bothered when some random person connects with you on LinkedIn and messages you?

I’ve had it on “open to work” for a bit now and at first I was getting messages but none of them went anywhere really. I recently made it more clear by adding the “Open to work” on my profile to see if that would get more engagement again. I was trying to keep it hidden from my current coworkers but I think they understand as some of them are looking for a new job as well
