People who work from home with an engineering degree, what do you do? I'm graduating in a year and can't bring myself to deal with corporate BS after doing 2 internships, which both felt like hell specifically because of the corporate environment. I'd finish my projects weeks before they needed to be done and could feel my precious time being sapped away. Needing to "find more work" to do with no additional pay incentive is the most cucked thing ever and needs to be avoided at all costs. I'm sure most of you can relate to that. Anyone with an engineering degree here that does freelance/remote work where they can spend a day max grinding out projects and get the rest of the week to themselves? Job stacking freelance type roles seems like the play for someone who gets shit done and doesn't suck off upper management from their wage cells all day.
>>62155791Im a ECE with 3 years in industry. Been applying to remote stuff ~50 applications for the past year and havent gotten an interview. Market is a lot tougher for remote work then normal jobs and most of the remote positions are for more people with 8+ years of experiance. Its rough in our field since otherwise you would need to move far for work.good luck
I know of an electrical engineer that offers consultations.
>>62155809might I ask what you're currently doing? Im looking for a role where my time is valued. Getting paid for being another body in the office is my nightmare.
>>62155855I do "Design for Test" work. Anytime you get a salaried position like i got your time isn't going to be valued by the employer. You need to value it yourself by not working overtime. If you're not willing to work overtime you'll need to be good at your job and even then you may need to every now and then. Depending on the company you can leave early some days when you get your stuff done.100% aim to get a remote job, thats my goal but just because i dont want to live in a city.
An European EE here. Wfh most of the time. Pick an industry and grind in it until you become efficient to a point where they dont need to keep an eye on you. It took me something like 8-9 years. Maybe you can do it faster. I've started in design, moved on to compliance and technical assurance, then moved on to another sector. Now comfy. Good luck. You only get what you build yourself, noone will give you anything for free...
You can make.a vaporware company and get people to invest fully remote. Just make it about space or quantum so musktards will buy it with zero proof of concept.
>>62155791kek thanks for reminding me about how fucking stupid zoomshits are. You are not getting a remote job with no real experience. You will learn some basic social skills and give up the zoomer stare
>>62156216You're clearly a retard because you didn't even read my post. I have experience. I know enough about the industry to realize I can contribute more when I have control of my time and resources. You zogslaves think it's dignifying to sit in a wage cell for weeks on end acting busy when they could do their job in a few hours and live life. Social skills are for cucked losers that think people care about them. kek kek kek ngmiYou will feed zog. You will like it. You will talk about the weather.

>>62156216boomers would rather have a 3 hour meeting where nothing gets done
>>62156216millennialcucks... do we really??
>>62156784We don't, anon. We really don't. Zogslaves will be zogslaves at the end of the day. They're ngmi.

>>62155791>Anyone with an engineering degree here that does freelance/remote work where they can spend a day max grinding out projects and get the rest of the week to themselves?So I know in my field (Civil) there are people who work independently who could feasibly have a schedule like that. (It's part of the reason avg salary is somewhat low: very competitive field) Be that as it may, I'm not sure how it works in EEng but in Civil you need to get that PE stamp before you can really do anything like that. Or maybe have some weird partnership with a PE but you might be ultimately screwing yourself doing that. It is totally possible to do though. You will need an expensive couple-thousand-per-year AutoCAD subscription (or whatever you'd use) and there might be some professional insurance as well just in case you fuck up.
>>62157895>You will need an expensive couple-thousand-per-year AutoCAD subscription (or whatever you'd use)I found a loophole and get all of autodesk subscriptions for free through my school even after i graduate kek.
>>62155791I’m a fully remote systems engineer. You can’t just grind stuff out in two days and take the rest of the week:1. Other teams are going to need to communicate and collaborate with you2. If you think you’re done, you’re probably only 80% there and could do it better3. If you finish early, you are assigned more workPeople are wise to wage maxxing now. If you don’t answer random calls promptly enough you will get pushed out one way or another. Most offices are also doing RTO and only senior people can do WFH in the first place as well
>>62155791https://ibqbjb.fa.ocs.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperience/en/sites/Honeywell/job/113490>>62157895civil engies need FE to do anything, its different compared to electrical engineers who dont even need the FE exam.

If you finish early, you are assigned more worktbf id gladly take that over wagecucking all day in the office. are you senior? if not how'd you land the job?

>>62159178I don’t have senior in my title but I spooned the job market in 2015 and moved to the role I have in 2020 when going remote was a big fad. I joined through an agency that has my being fully remote as part of the contract. What I’ve seen happen to the company engineers is they were mandated to return to office but the guys who have been there 10+ years are still working from home pretty often. New hires are full on-site starting last year.At my previous company the electrical, mechanical, and software engineers got to work fully remotely towards the tail end of covid and now they get to work from home only one day a week. Management there hates remote work, so I assume that’s close to what’s normal
>>62159197well a jeet is gonna take ur job anyway in Canuckistan
