<p>Have you guys gotten/interviewing for full-time jobs yet? And what type of full-time jobs are you guys looking at? I'm graduating this semester, but EE completely wore me out so I don't think i'm ever going to do any hardcore engineering as a career. Would love to hear some replies from you guys pertaining to job search/type of job/offers...etc.</p>
<p>Not graduating this year, but what are your plans if you aren't going to do engineering?</p>
<p>I interviewed like crazy last semester (20+). Make sure you lighten up your schedule the semester you are doing interviews. It literally felt like a full-time job having to deal with applying/Information session/interviews/follow-ups...etc. I applied to some engineering positions just in case, but my top job choices were consulting and technical sales. I wanted a job that is technical, but more from a high level point of view. Also, I preferred a job where I get a chance to interact with clients as well as traveling once in awhile. To me personally, sitting in a cube 8 hours a day staring at code or making designs/testing is pretty depressing. As of right now, I am definately leaning towards getting a MBA as oppose to MSEE in a few years after I gain some experience.</p>
<p>I'm have senior standing but I won't graduate until next year. I had 7 interviews during a recent Interview Day and two other possible offers that are not through the Interview Day. Last summer I interned out of town but I made stay in town this year since some better opportunities (real engineering work as opposed to troubleshooting in a manufacturing plant) have oppened. I'm just waiting to be called back for second interviews. This summer I would like to get more technical experience that what I have had in the past.</p>
<p>I know a guy who is graduating with an engineering degree this year but he was rejected by the company he interned with for two summers. They say being an intern is the way to get your foot in the door but there are no guarantees. Some companies will hire lots of interns to give college students the experience but they may not have enough permanent full-time positions available when all of them graduate.</p>
