I want to relocate to the bay area due to personal reasons and I have been trying for a while to grow my network and apply for positions in mech/design roles. As is the bane of every recent grad, any advice on how to get companies to look at capability as a engineer rather than pure experience?
Even if you get in, you salary will be petty compared to any folks in software.. i dont see a point coming to bay area as a mechie. Switch to software while you can.. if you i guess you have to start applying in start ups who can take a new grad as they cant pay that much

Worried that our top performer is an attrition risk. How do managers handle this?
Do your own projects that prove your capability. You think you can do a million things but if you can’t show that you can execute, that’s a bunch of bullshit
Well there are couple of solid projects that show capability but it is hard when number of years of experience is given more preferences. The issue is that outside of the Bay, there are only limited companies that have the specific products and projects that will be relevant to the opening. I found this to be true of the semi companies
