Well after some turmoil, I have finally decided to take a new job.
I've been working for
SaluMedica for over three years now, and thoroughly enjoy my job. I get to experience both manufacturing and R&D work as an engineer here, and designing joint components for the human is very interesting, but it's not exactly where I want to be. A few other things have led to this decision as well - SaluMedica is a venture capitalist funded startup company - zero job security as funding could dry up anytime. Also, benefits are substandard as well as pay.
I have had two companies interested in me in the past month -
Toto USA and
Chromalloy. Toto made me an offer as a development engineer about 10 days ago. I nearly took the job, then Chromalloy came through and made an offer yesterday to be a repair development project engineer, and I've decided to take the position there.
Toto makes all sorts of plubming fixtures and ceramics. The project I would have been working on is the washlet line - pretty much a fancy compact bidet. Interesting work (electromechanical).
Chromalloy repairs, designs, and manufactures compressor components for high-bypass jet engines. Way cooler job. Not to mention they're only 7 miles from my house.
I start my new job on Monday. Very excited!
