I have a newly graduated SW Eng (BS in CS) who is struggling to find a job and getting advice to go back and get a Master’s Degree in #LLM in order to be more marketable.
I’ve always heard that grad degrees aren’t strictly necessary in SWE to start but is this changing? Are there other time investments that make more sense (open source contributions, certifications, personal projects, etc?)?
Why Boeing needs to be run by engineers and not bean counters
Really insightful video about what has gone wrong.
Among the points Casey makes is that Boeing imported Jack Welch's GE management culture.
This has included a focus on short-term profits over engineering, and practises such as stack ranking.
Boeing, as a major defence contractor and (direct and indirect) employer, is too big to fail.
And Casey argues that either the Board or, if they're unwilling, the US government, needs to clear out the senior management and introduce an engineer-led management team:
As an #engineer, if I had any other #data series that was pretty smooth for several years and then started getting very spiky month to month, I'd look for some underlying malfunction.
Our lab is looking for a principal engineer in neuroimaging.
The position is suited for a person with an interest in and experience with signal and image processing. Imaging of the human brain by MRI and PET is central to LCBC research
Developing and maintaining existing data pipelines and infrastructure (MRI, PET and EEG)
Maintaining collection of behavioral and questionnaire data
Taking responsibility for quality control of collected data

YOU ARE LITERALLY GIVING MONEY TO #TECHBROS BY NOT CLAIMING YOUR UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
