Career Advice for Transitioning
Hi, I’m a mechanical engineer currently working with General Motors through TCS, with 2.8 years of experience as a CAD Customization Engineer. My key skills include:
Siemens NX Customization using VB.NET, C, and Siemens APIs
Experience with Visual Studio and GitHub
Basics of HTML, Core Java, and Selenium Automation (learned through courses before joining TCS)
I’m planning to switch companies for better growth and opportunities. I’d like to explore:
1. Career paths I can pursue next—whether to continue as a CAD Customization Engineer or transition to an IT career path (e.g., software development, automation testing).
2. In-demand skills I should learn to stay competitive in the market.
3. Suggestions for domains or roles where I can leverage
I’d appreciate any guidance or advice on making the right move for my career. Thank you!

You could dive into industries like robotics, automation, or even manufacturing software development. These fields crave people who understand both the mechanical and programming sides of things.
