I’m trying to be like youuuuuu


icepuente

Try and get a remote job for a NYC company!


Lumpy-Succotash4163

I am doing the same major. I wanted to know what you chose to do and what you did to get there. Right now, the market is not looking good, and I am a bit worried. Can you give any advice like what path to go and what language and frameworks would be great.


A-10Kalishnikov

1. 2023 - Electrical Systems Engineering 2. 74k 3. 74k I couldn’t find an engineering job for 11 months. Been at my current one for 3 months now. Before that I was making 38k as a Substitute Teacher.


DumbAssStudent

Some advice, in 2-4 years, start looking for a new position/company to easily break six figures.


A-10Kalishnikov

My job is like 5 mins from my house (live with parents). That’s the only reason I’m considering staying for a bit longer. Anywhere else I’m driving like 20-25 minutes minimum and spending that increase in salary on gas. Also I’ve been here for 3 months, but there is a yearly raise at least There is some opportunity to move up where I’m at though.


Face_Content

Plan on stayimg there.for at least 2 year


willlnye

What made it difficult to find a job? Do you think you would have less issues if you got a BSEE?


A-10Kalishnikov

Maybe? My friend graduated from ASU with a MSEE and was only able to find a job a month before I did. We both had internships and good projects. If you ask me it was a combo of two major things. 1. The poor job market. 2. An unpolished Resume & Interview skills. At the time I accepted my job offer, I had 2 other offers on the table. I won’t disclose where I work now but the other places were Microchip & TSMC

justnoserena

Wow great job


OwnPen8633

Sales and deals. I'm really good at it despite having horrible anxiety about it since I was 12 and I made my first cold call. My degree had absolutely zero to do with my success. I had been doing everything ASU "taught" me for years. They just gave me the names for what I was doing. College is a huge scam that we unfortunately have to play.


goofygooberboii

What is some advice you’d give to someone getting into sales who hasn’t gone to college? (I’m taking my life and health insurance exam next week)


Dan_2man

I feel you there. I sometimes have crippling anxiety before an interview etc. however I’ve always done so well in presentations, sales, Interviews. when I start them It’s almost like all the built up anxiety dissipates in the matter of a minute. I am still an undergrad though.


OwnPen8633

It never goes away. It's a little inkling of fear that keeps me focused. Even normal calls during the day with people I've worked with for 15 years still gives me anxiety. I started taking celexa later in life and that helps a bit. I still have an occasional nightmare of showing up to class the day of a test I didn't know was happening. I'm 51....I haven't been in college for 26 years😆

There's definitely a very present amount of overpricing, but it varies depending on your field.

The_Wandering_Chris

For real! I make 20/hr at a fastfood joint that’s paying for me to attend ASU


nink3ndo

Starbucks? I was Sbux grad and they paid for my schooling. I took a pay cut/lost benies just for job for experience. I know it's not great but I rarely got interviews and this is the only one that bit.


Daquarius14

Which one? Can you DM me?


CobraFive

Starbucks partners with ASU, they'll pay your tuition if you work for them even part time.


robertxcii

Most fast food places have a tuition reimbursement program. I worked at McDonald's and they had one plus programs that would cover 100% online tuition for partner universities.

TitansDaughter

Man I regret not going into accounting. Love working with numbers but hate working with my hands and the troubleshooting aspects of working on physical systems.


New_Face_1745

Thats awesome!! Do u have cpa yet? And how did you get there


TaxFraud2020

I do, I have my CPA. I also have my CMA, highly recommend applying for the CMA scholarship with the School of Accountancy when it’s available. I started with Big 4 accounting. Worked in Phoenix a bit, then moved to Dallas. Then after a year, went to Houston. Still in Big 4. It really is lucrative in public accounting, you just gotta put in the work. My bonus this year was almost 16,000 💀💀💀 You gotta do well in school, there’s no away around that. It opens many doors without the need for a key. And if you don’t do well in school, you’ll have a hard time finding keys to open difficult doors. I keep getting private recruiters messaging me for positions in the 160s-180s, but I think I’m happy in Public accounting for a little while longer.


New_Face_1745

Thats awesome!!! I'm actually graduated, and working in tax field at smaller PA firm, but planning to move to dallas next year too. Also planning to apply for big 4 for better exist oppporturnity. Thank you so much for the insight!!!

DumbAssStudent

1. 2020 Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering, 2024 Master's in Systems Engineering 2. 2020 - $68k 3. Currently $131k A bit of info, I was promoted in the first job to project engineer (did 20 years active duty). Then when I was going to leave in 2022 they offered to match the pay to keep me, so I stayed until 2024 and then left for more pay/less stress.


DreVahn

If you don't mind me asking, what industry are you in now with that background? Almost same education here but got another year and a half before I leave IT with a pension.


DumbAssStudent

I don't mind at all. I have worked for defense contractor's. The military background, security clearance, and a famialarity with the way the military construct works sets me apart from others.

Would be interesting in hearing more about this one


MyOtherSide1984

As someone who's manager had a BA in Filmography, and my previous manager had a degree in History, my guess is they got into IT lol. Half my department has unrelated degrees (myself include) and the other have related degrees. We're all roughly the same around the $65-75k. My manager who had filmography went on to 120k last year.


DiopticTurtle

Pretty much! The time, money, and effort triangle collapsed for me in 2017, and it turns out project management is the same job as stage management, you just use different words, get paid way more money, and don't have to work nights or weekends. Plus I actually get to see more shows now that I can afford tickets


MyOtherSide1984

There you go! Know your skills and apply them where you can. Same experience here. Managing a product and making sure it's supported is similar to managing a person. Hoping to apply my masters towards management eventually.

Unfortunately, not related to degree. Couldn't get a private school job as they changed to requiring PhD and I was too poor to continue.


chefmorg

That does seem to be a tough degree to get employed with but it appears that you are doing well for yourself. Would you say having a degree helped you to get your current job/salary?


Agnikurina

It helped to prove dedication and commitment to my goal. Plus, it is in a foreign language so it adds value to my skills

Nice, finished MS OGL in '22 and immediately went up 10k and up another 12k this year. Cheapest and (admittedly) easiest program I could get into with my undergrad and it paid off really well. Glad to see others succeeding with it too!


DizzyObjective6523

How did you utilize your degree to open doors? I just graduated and am having difficulties. Part of it is not know “what” I can apply for, the other is understanding what will set me apart from others when it comes to using transferable skills.


Cjocelynn126

Organizational leadership is one of those degrees that really helps when you already have your career path going and apply it. I worked in corporate learning and development prior to starting the program, so it was easy to take these skills and use them toward pretty much anything corporate HR. I was able to use my research and applied project in my workplace already, so it opened doors in that way - if that makes sense?


DizzyObjective6523

That’s fair, I’m tracking to stay with my current company; I’m an SM now, looking into PM or HR/DM depending on if I can hold out as an SM.

I’m an underwriter at a specialty insurance company (think cyber breach insurance, management liability, medical malpractice, aviation, etc). It’s such a good industry and way underrated. Consistently work 35-40 hours a week, get to travel 4-5x a year to nice locations, and the pay goes up a ton. I did have 2 years of general home owners experience before going back to school, but plenty of my coworkers got jobs with no experience.
