Nice, there's quite a few engineering/cs people around here from what I can tell. I'm a DSP/wireless engineer. I wouldn't really say that the job market is worse for EE than for CS, especially if you got your masters. I was interviewing for work fresh out of grad school two years ago right when the recession hit and had no problem getting a job. Some of my CS buddies struggled for a bit around the same time.

That's really the key. I'd really rather not go back for more school, at least not until I've got some more time working.

Except for the place I'm currently working, all my offers have been for non-engineering positions, mostly quant work at banks.

I'm thinking about working for about a year or two and then going back for my masters once I have a better idea of what I want to specialize in. Hopefully whatever company I'm working for will help pay for graduate school.

I got my master's by getting a job right out of school that would pay my tuition. Never regretted that.

Yeah that is going to be a big part of my decision of where to work when I first graduate. Right now I'm interested in something in the energy field. The only problem is that in all of my classes so far, all we've done is solve problems. There's no hands on experience in any of our classes until our senior year. I have no idea what I'm going to be doing when I actually start working. I'm hoping an internship will give me a much better idea though.

Hummm... Hands on experience in the Energy field... You could always try your hand at scavenging copper on live circuits. I read all the time about inventive souls that get hands on experience in the energy field that way...

I think that kind of experience is more along the lines of an electrical engineer's work.

Big big BIG money in quant modelling if you're good. :tup:

I noticed. All the offers were outta control, but they wanted me to go to NYC. Kind of negates the point of the extra money.

Salary + bonus (that can be 10x or more the salary) if you're good. I say do it for a few years and retire.
