This is my first ever job offer out of school. Given my role and location, is it a good salary offer, or should I negotiate it? Neither of my parents worked in engineering, so I have no idea who to ask about these types of questions.
Good afternoon,
I have one year till graduation, and I feel like I've been too hard on academia (grade-wise) and neglected my personal life. I want to take a year or two in industry and come back to academia to do my master's and PhD. I was wondering how to admission proccess looked like for somebody who spent time in industry. I was wondering particularly how letters of recommendation looked, and how research programs evaluate me if I have a gap in research experience due to my time in industry. I want to do a PhD, but for my personal life, I think I need a break. Please tell me your experiences
22 M, leaving college and entering the workplace, and finding it so hard to be socialable. I feel like I always sink to the bottom of any social hierarchy I'm in. After a while, it feels like nobody acknowledges my presence unless somebody of higher social stature notices me, and it's hard to advocate for higher positions for myself because I don't have many people in my corner. I have long-term friends in my day-to-day life, in groups full of random people; this consistently happens. How do I fix this? I understand this is likely a personality thing. Please be brutally honest with it.
Hi all,
I'm a college student looking to graduate and looking to make a lot more money then im used to holding. I want to invest it, but I just can't think of a way to invest. I don't like the SMP500, I think it's a rug pull waiting to happen. I don't like the idea of being a landlord because I don't like the idea of squatting over essential resources and then charging people to use them. I'm much more interested in science, so I also don't like the idea of something that is high-commitment, like owning a business where I would have to give considerable time to managing. I was wondering if you guys have any advice for people who want to ethically grow their money. Preferably something with real impact on my community that isn't just hoarding all my money in a sort of dragon's vault
I'm a rising 5th-year student about to graduate in 1 year. The job I have been interning with for the past 2 years has a paid master's program, and I really want to get a free master's; however, I also really want to do a PhD. I have failed to build strong enough research experience, so I want to use a master's to build a strong profile. My plan is to go into the industry for a year, do my master's while working for 2/3 years, and then start heading back into research to get my PhD. I'm scared about losing my connection research and not being able to get into a good PhD program. Does anybody have any stories about returning to academia from industry? I want to know if my plan is even possible and how to best execute it.
^ As the title states. I'm a 5th-year Electrical Engineering and Computer Science major. From the math point of view, I feel fine about it, but I'm skipping a prerequisite course to take it (Dynamics). Are there any physics concepts I should study up on before I take it this semester? I want to make sure I get a good intuition going in, so I don't fall behind.
^ As title states. I'm a rising 5th-year computer science and electrical engineering dual degree student. I want to move more into research, but take a short break from academia into industry. I've been pretty heavily considering doing a master's in math. I feel as if I get viewed in a very heavily engineering category, and I want to be viewed more as a thinker by picking up some theoretical skills. For those of you who work in research or R&D, do you think I would be more respected if I did a math master's, or should I just stick with my majors for graduate school? Assume GPA isn't an issue and that I fulfill the prerequisites for applying for these master's. I really enjoyed math and want to take more proof-based classes, but I also love my prospective majors. How does this help or hurt with PhD's?
^ Title. I'm in his signals and systems course... and the entire semester has been rough in terms of grading. For those of you who've taken him in previous semesters, does he curve at the end, or should we just expect what we see?
I recently got permission to enroll in a class I really wanted, but I want to wait until I confirm the status of another class before I swap. I got the permission code today, will my code work for the semester or will it expire sometime today or tomorrow? I doubt this class will fill up it’s quite niche, but it might be embarrassing to ask for the permission code again.
