TECC 142: Choosing Between a Fortune 50 Company and a Small Engineering Firm

In this episode, I talk with a listener whose question I previously answered in Episode 131. We talk about the factors that influenced his decision in choosing between a Fortune 50 Company and a Small Engineering Firm, and what he learned from the decision he made.

Engineering Quotes:

Here are the key points discussed in this episode:

  • It’s better to increase your knowledge in your engineering career, than to plateau in a position you might get elsewhere.
  • All the answers for your engineering career are pretty much within your own grasp, you just need to gain clarity around them, maybe with the help of a coach.
  • It is important to think about the knowledge you will obtain, in the engineering company that is going to support you, when choosing between jobs.
  • Don’t just work at a company because it is a top engineering company, work at a company because they have experts in your field,  so you can learn from them and progress in your career.
  • Gather a lot of information from different sources to help you clarify your career goals, which will make it easier to make decisions.
  • There’s not a right or wrong answer when choosing between companies, it’s a case by case basis based on the individual deciding.
  • Pick a niche within your field and develop an expertise in that niche.

In the Take Action Today segment of the show, I will elaborate on what you need to do in order to become successful in your engineering career.
