What is it like working as a Mechanical Engineer?
November 2017
Working in Sligo.
Mechanical Engineer in Sligo:
Pros: I love how compact Sligo town is, everything is near by and there is a lot of industry in the area. It is n close proximity to many beaches to suit all tastes be it water sports, swimming or just walking. It is surrounded by mountains and lakes all a 10 to 15 minute drive from the town ideal for hiking or leisurely walks, kayaking, fishing and swimming. All this adds to making Sligo a tranquil place to work.
Cons: The town was hit hard by the recession and a number of retail outlets still haven't recovered. It is clear however that there is recovery with a number of new restaurants and shops opened in town in the last year.

August 2017
Importance given to employees.
Mechanical Engineer in Montréal:
Almost aim high, never undersell yourself.
At the job interview, be yourself & honest.
Once you get the position, you will soon realize how long you see yourself within the company and/or position. Do not make the mistake of doing the same job for too long (2-3yrs max). If you are doing the same thing day in day out for months on end, you absolutely need to look at different higher positions withing the co & elsewhere. Do not get comfortable because the job is easy... Challenge yourself early in career in order to gauge yourself as a worker, an engineer and see your worth in the engineering world as well as personal growth. I am quite surprised how 5 years later the person I became..., did not expect to change this way.
The working environment changes you... Which is why it is important that you find a job that you truly enjoy and that pays at least the avg salary suggested on this website (which is why I am writing) early in your career. Money is important for life & ambition.
