Boss won't let me WFH..

If they don’t let you WFH, actually quit and find a job where you can.

I'm an rf engineer, I never spent more than a month looking for a new job. If u know about rf engineering field then u would understand how stupid they are. I didn't threaten to quit but keep telling them about how wfh is standard and every engineer in the main office in a different state is 2 days wfh...

Unless you have a decade of real knowledge and experience, you're not going to be taken seriously as an RF engineer. RF technician contractors unironically make more than you.
Shitposting aside, I work with a lot of RF projects. You could try applying for a position at the Tempe/Carlsbad Viasat offices for a cushy job with decent pay. Atlanta is full of lazy do-nothings that all wfh, but they also get paid dogshit for being in Georgia.

Just quit mate. I am in the same position as you, tried requesting for WFH and got turned down.. Explained that i take 1 hour to commute, go to uni part time and all my work can literally be done at home, they said nope. Its not worth arguing with them, I just put in my notice on friday, I'd rather be NEET than not have WFH

It wasn't power or rf but I do know design engineers making 300-1.5 million a year doing contract work but u need a LOT of excperince. Like 15-20 years. I love engineering and will never retire so 15 more years isn't a lot of time to me.. at that point honestly you would be better off just opening up ur own firm.. Idk how the power market is like though... People ALWAYS need small scale power systems designed for their products though..

They don't understand that we spent the prime of our youth paying to learn surrounded by sweaty nerds.. when u factor that it it dilutes our salary really hard. If they can't give basic standard treatment they deserve everything coming to them. That being said if u are still in uni for an undergrad then u should have thoughed it out cuz u need that magic pieace of paper to make demands..

I ask my boss to WFH from time to time and I can tell he's getting more and more reluctant to let me, lel. He's a millennial too, only a few years older than me

I will keep asking until he doesn't let me, and then I will consider quitting. I'd honestly take a 10-20% pay cut or more to WFH full time

>> No.53410571

Yeah that was my plan initially, but its near impossible for me to do uni and a full time job at the same time, plus like you, they told me there would be 2 days WFH in the interview..

Sounds like u gotta to get that masters degree... my school is offering me 2k a month to do it.. EE IS interesting but if u work a thankless job were all the other engineers are cubicle engineers who just got the degree to satisfy their parents it will wear u out. Go watch a Nikola tesla documentary. He was a volcel for the sake of engineering and science. He could have had any bitch he wanted to and had girls chasing after since. Choose since over hoes.

To answer your OP question, i think the only reliable wfh these days is consulting/design work. Hard to ask for wfh when you interact with people who are always onsite like technicians.

I was an EE draft monkey. After 4 months I was fed up with doing the same commercial/residential designs. Profit margins are slim and work is repetitive. Coding/cloud/devops is way more interesting. A lot of people in my company are former mech/civ/elec engineers and it's a lot of fun.
The downside is that competition may be harsh based on your skills, but once you have several years behind you the companies will prefer local developers on important tasks to jeets across the globe.
