[Previously]

Welcome to the weekly career discussion thread! Today's thread is for all your career questions, industry discussion, and a chance to get feedback on your résumé & etc. from other engineers. Topics of discussion include:

• Career advice and guidance, including questions about which engineering major to choose

• The job market, salary, benefits, and negotiating tactics

• Office politics, management strategies, and other employee topics

• Sharing stories & photos about current projects you're working on

Guidelines:

1. Most subreddit rules (with the obvious exceptions of R1 and R3) still apply and will be enforced, especially R7 and R9.

2. Job POSTINGS must go into the latest Quarterly Hiring Thread. Any that are posted here will be removed, and you'll be kindly redirected to the hiring thread.

3. If you need to interview an engineer for your school assignment, use the list of engineers in the sidebar. Do not request interviews in this thread!

Resources:

• Before asking questions about pay, cost-of-living, and salary negotiation: Consult the AskEngineers wiki page which has resources to help you figure out the basics, so you can ask more detailed questions here.

• For students: "What's your day-to-day like as an engineer?" This will help you understand the daily job activities for various types of engineering in different industries, so you can make a more informed decision on which major to choose; or at least give you a better starting point for followup questions.
