Mechanical engineering

I have been following the grapevine for a few months but I haven't heard a lot from mechanical engineers, tell me how you build your career in mechanical engineering and some valuable lessons for those in the early stages of their careers.

If you just graduated and want to build in mechanical engineering
Straight away move abroad If that's not the option learn to be happy with whatever you can earn If that's not what you want, have to move to a different domain, but then you never know what works, what won't and you'll see your friends from other branches excel, travel world, start family and nothing much changing for you

Sorry but this is what it is. Past 3 decades those who were responsible haven't built much You can maybe build. Also there are few space tech/electric/deeptech startups...the pay and all are dicey Its not a rosey path unlike other branches A good option is also product/general management roles but then not everyone wants to do it

If you are interested in tech can work with ADS abroad
