What is your role as an engineer there though? Or are you someone with a fake "engineer" title (e.g. project engineer)?

>> No.57240367

>>57240340
Project engineers aren’t fake though, they’re just not technical.

Imagine running an engineering project with zero engineering background. I can almost guarantee that half of the “engineers” on biz are students, or worse, “software engineers”.

If OP was an actual engineer who worked with operational technology components (e.g. PLCs, HMIs, etc.), they could easily transition into ICS cybersecurity and make $250k+ annually. But go ahead and continue the non-technical cope.

Automation engineers do alright for themselves these days. They also usually get to set their own terms for work. It’s a pretty comfy job to have.

Any interest in field engineering? Or learning the business side? There’s probably opportunities within your company, won’t be easy but easier to pivot within your own company.

I do the propulsion system: motors, inverters, HV batteries, HV system. The work is interesting, simulation intensive, invent shit, but the selection criteria for advancement is such bullshit. No meritocracy.

Read back your post. Are you really willing to accept that? If not do something about it. What do you do? Idk figure it out. It's your life. But if you're not happy don't settle for less, you're only short-changing yourself

Are you willing to move? Are you willing to change careers? Do you actually enjoy your work or is it just a pay check for you? Would you be willing to go back to school or not? What do you want to get out of life? These are all questions that need answering.
