What’s something that seemed critically important early in your career but matters much less to you now? For me, being the smartest person in the room has become a lot less important than being part of a strong team.

💭 If you were let go from your job tomorrow, what's the first thing you'd do?

I’m looking at job opportunities in other cities right now and trying to figure out the best approach. If you've done this before, how did you handle the job hunt? I'm especially curious if companies ever offer a trial period, maybe working on-site for three months before making the permanent move to mitigate the risk for everyone. How does the hiring process usually work?

What engineering discipline would you recommend new students specialize in (or avoid) given the current/future job market?

My job is stable and pays decently, but I haven't picked up a new skill in over a year. I keep waiting for a reason to leave that feels urgent enough. Has anyone left a job that's comfortable but stagnant?
