Please please do not get career advice from this subreddit. Over the past few years there has been an exodus of engineers in their mid-career and above from this sub (prior to 2020 a large chunk of the posts here were experienced people looking for lateral move advice). The environment today is pretty hostile to anyone browsing here just to help out and so what remains is people still in college or just out of college giving advice on how to have a successful career in engineering and no one remaining to call them out on it.
If you want advice, you should:
1. Look at LinkedIn and look at the backgrounds of people who are currently in the jobs that you want to be in. See if your decisions match theirs. While you may be able to get to the same role with a non-traditional background, you’ll have to work harder for it
- Find people on more technical subs who are deeper into their career. Join those circles and talk to them. Ask them questions and they’ll love to help.
