oh wow! i was contacted by that company before for interview. However, i took on an electrical role near my house. I always wonder whats the outcome if i were to get that job. It was also a field engineer role.

I was thinking should I join As FSE because I interest in hand on than programming. I hear from my friend his annual income is 6 digit.

Anyone join this company ( L** Res****h) as FSE?

Sadly, my engineering knowledge isnt that fantastic to begin with. I also like hands on than programming though

If you really want to go in other roles, you gotta decide on it and learn about it via Coursera or something. Then you can take a few routes:
1. Take an internship in that area and try to convert.
2. Go for some MA/rotational program if you can (it's competitive)
3. do master's (perhaps MBA).

But it all boils down to the fact that the employers want to see that you are really interested and you know what u are getting into. The big question for them will be if you did EE and don't like it, what if they take you for this role and u quit after 2-3 months. You gotta have a good reason to convince them and some background to show for it.

I am a ME grad, who got into a strategy role (M&A). Did it through the MA program. But at the same time I had an interest in finance, so did learn a lot about it myself (books, , Coursera courses) and I would say I have strong basic knowledge of it. That's enough to get me into an interview, but then I have to really sell myself. One this you should make is that your background gets you a lot of skills that business or other grads lack, especially logical and analytical thinking, highlight it. Say your background brings a different perspective to the table which is important for the diversity of opinion.

How about a machine learning engineer or data scientist?

Anyone knows how's the career prospect of a chemical engineer? Is the salary and its progression good? I'm mostly interested in working in the pharmaceutical sector as a chem engineer. But I wouldn't mind if anyone would like to share your experiences working as a chem eng in other sectors too. Thanks in advanced! :3

if you mentioned that you aren't strong in programming, unlikely you will do well in data science. at most those tech-lite business analyst role (think tableau/ powerBI/ excel) if you have good domain knowledge.

Any engineers that join biomedical engineering? How's the work??
