Career Growth

From Gears to Code š¤š¤š¤
Hey fellow engineers,
Iām reaching out to tap into the collective wisdom of this community because Iāve been doing some serious soul-searching lately about my career. Iāve been a mechanical design engineer for 5 years now, and while Iām passionate about my work, Iāve hit a bit of a roadblock in terms of career and financial growth. š
Hereās the thing: as much as I love my role, the industryās progression feels like itās moving at a snailās pace compared to all the exciting advancements happening in tech- especially AI and automation.
So hereās my question: should I switch things up into the world of PLM development, CAD customizations, or even explore AI-based engineering solutions?
Iād love to hear if anyone has made the jump from mechanical engineering to a tech-centric field like this. Was it a smooth transition? Is the pay and career growth really great as they say??Āæ
Also, any tips on how to get started in this kind of work would be super helpful!

Okay, so I have this colleague sitting right in front of me, and he doesnāt stop talking all day. Iāve tried putting on headphones, but this guy still waves his hands in front of my face like, āOye Oye, ek baat sun !ā Leaving my desk isnāt an option because my work would suffer, and thereās no extra space in the office to relocate.How do I politely deal with this without causing awkwardness or making it seem like Iām being rude?
