Actually more absurdity is possible in EU. I frequently notice, out of college PM(grad scheme), 1yoe Senior Engineer/Team Lead, out of college R&D Engineer(with BSc only), 2yoe CTO etc.. These are mostly in UK though but still counts.
- C1sc0cat 7y agoWhy is a new grad R&D Engineer strange? that's certainly most of the people recruited at the first place I worked (UK) started as. OK they wont be at the same level as the Boss (the President of the Mechanical engineers at the time) What sort of people do you thein NASA JPL etc. recruit from university in the main.
- bagacrap 7y agoPresumably those with graduate degrees.
- 0xffff2 7y agoI don't work at JPL, but I do work at a different NASA center. I am one of only two people in my team of ~15 that does not have a graduate degree. There are only three with master's degrees; the rest are PhD's. You have to be both talented and incredibly lucky to secure a full time position without a graduate degree here.
- C1sc0cat 7y agoThat's not what the previous person was saying - they thought it was strange you had new grads as RnD engineers. And I know all about v high end RnD I worked on campus Cranfield Uni at BHRA in the Math modeling and Nuke section Though I was a technician, who of course you need to remind the "engineers" how ohms law works :-)
- PaywallBuster 7y agoI had previous colleague from India, two years of experience and suddenly was a senior. I thought it was more common over there... guess not so odd.
