Hey redditors, So I have a masters in Mech Engineering, have work FT for 3 years as a new product dev engineer in an oil and Gas related company.

I live in a MCOL area and pay just over $100k. I have been in the same team and the same project for the last 3 years (my entire career). Definitely not something too great for my resume.

But I hope that consistency here will convince my company to sponsor my green card application. This is the reason I have been sticking it out. I am planning to give it a few more months before asking for a team change.

Could I be doing something more to improve my career progression. My current role is relatively chill, other roles will definitely keep me more busy, with probably about the same pay.

I don’t mind getting into a passive side income in the meantime either.

Just feeling a little lost over here on how to approach my career!
