I feel for you my friend ME is hard but you gotta do stupid leetcode to get all the “respect”

Medtronic ilovegod OP Nov 13, 2019

Not really, Mechanical Engineers do well as hardware TPM/EPM roles at Apple/ Amazon

Absolutely! Seeing that you're at Medtronic, I'd say depending on your BU, the need for people who understand the mechanical loading and performance requirements is huge.

No. You are just a glorified mechanic.

Spoken as someone who has a very limited view of the world. Try expanding your horizons beyond "computers".

Can’t wait for AI to replace programmers... future coal miners lol

Amazon Srdu83 Nov 13, 2019

yeah you gotta be glorified IT Technician to get respect

Sounds like you already know your worth. Don’t ask for the approval from others

That is commendable ! How many years of experience you have and are you in management?

If you’re truly building mechanics then yes. If you’re coding or accounting then no.
