[quote=“Yz85Racer, post:39, topic:554672”]I’m an electrical engineer now.
UNFORTUNATELY THE ONLY WORK IVE DONE IS C PROGRAMMING THO :<[/quote]
You almost certainly want to get used to that if you’re planning on staying in Australia. 
10 Years on - what are people up to nowadays ? :)
i got married when i was 19, things have been going well in that regard. i traded off high academia for an “alright” school i could breeze through so i could support myself independent of my parents, and established myself at a large automotive supplier. i interned as a hardware engineer even though i majored in CS (not sure how I convinced them, I didn’t even know what they were talking about at the interview, but it worked out), now i am full time making too much money writing awful c code for bluetooth low energy communications and cybersecurity (flip of the hat color, i feel gross)… after this project i may go into their r&d department as they know this doesn’t scratch my bleeding edge itch even though it’s our most advanced project thus far. i’ve considered SV a few times but i am rooted here for now, maybe in the future
I’ve also gotten very interested in marijuana and psychedelics, which have helped me get better / find some direction
So anyone got any updates? 
I’m in the situation where my corporate job is kinda boring at the moment.
We get to use a lot of the latest tools and so on. We’ve also got a lot of great things in place, like continuous integration and one-click build/deployment for a lot of our software.
On the other hand, we’ve recently indulged in so-called ‘pure scrum’ which is tedious. The worst part is the fortnightly 4 to 5 hour meeting block (a series of scrum meetings that are back-to-back).
I look at job ads and they’re all stuck using far older stuff. I kinda feel like anywhere I go from here is going to be a step backwards technology-wise. Does anyone have experience with this? Does it even matter in terms of fulfillment in the role?
