Alright -- 29 year old mechanical engineering grad here. I graduated 3-4 years ago. I fell into a pretty cozy GIS WFH gig with pretty much nothing to do with my degree...but my boss left and the head of the department becamse my new boss and he's a total fucking knob who is outsourcing all my old bosses work to me with no pay raise. I'm thinking my time here is going to be short.

What should I be doing to prepare? Frankly, I fell into this because they hired me and eventually my pay got pretty good for what it was. Learning to code? Buff back up on cad skills of some kind? I never had much of a knack for 3D modeling, was always more computer and equations focused, just did mechE since I fell for the "jack of all trades" meme. I really kind of realized i should have done something like EE too late. I figure if I need to hop into something, I want to have more of a career path.

Isn't it crazy that SVPs will push out their top performers because of their ego complex? Insane, really
