Thats all great. But how does one become a pay leader? Professional development is great and all. Taking on more responsibility is great and all. But how does one make $200 k , $300 k , $ 400 k in order to pay for all this "professional development". MBA may be great for employers but the cost of time and money for the MBA isn't great for employees.
Hello Mr and Mrs Bernstein. The salary for an engineering professional varies greatly based on many different considerations like your geographic location, the size and type of company, and the type of projects you work on. A good approach might be to talk to some leaders in the industry to learn more about different salary ranges.
Hey I know you commented this a year ago. I'm exploring the possibility of pursuing a MBA following my undergrad in mechanical engineering. I'm hoping that the NBA can help push me faster up into management roles and leadership. I'm looking to work with electric vehicles, and while I'm an engineer, I really enjoy the business aspect of production as well. I'm in this industry, yes I want to make a lot of money, but I'm also here to make a big impact, and being a leader allows me to be at the decision making tables and make the biggest impact. Do you think an MBA will help with this?
@AfroNerd-cv1dl umm. That's what lots of engineers do, hoping to break into management. But many do not succeed. Management is really about making EQ relationships that the company needs to fulfill business goals. You can get as much education as you want but if management doesn't think you have eq (most engineers dont) then they won't let you in. But management is not all that great.. to be honest.
@@EngineeringManagementasking about salary can be a taboo topic. What is the best way to ask people about their salary without coming across is too invasive? That seems to be the question that a lot of people avoid with stuff like this
@mrandmrsbernstein4024 wow! Thank you so much for your response! I didn't expect to hear from you, let alone so quickly. I will tell you a little bit about myself. I'm a sophomore mechanical engineering student, I'm African American (obviously from the name lol) And I am looking to work with electric vehicles. I know I'm getting started on thinking about post graduation goals early, but I think it's important. Recently, I was lucky enough to be selected for prestigious BMW internship working with their electric vehicles. I love engineering, using science and math to accomplish my goals is a dream come true, but I also really love business. Getting on stage and talking to people, teaching people about what it is that we are doing at a company or within a project, presenting research, talking to venture capitalist, those type of things really interest me throughout my career. I've heard so many conflicting experiences on whether or not to get an MBA. Videos like this one, where the guy just goes on talking about professional development is not very helpful, and I have definitely seen many people move up to management without an MBA, but I've also seen where the NBA was like the deciding factor in whether or not they we're granted the position. I don't know, I guess I'm still just on the fence about it. I'm also a McNair scholar so going to grad school will be free, so I am still thinking about exactly what to do so that I can have that mix of business and engineering within my career so that I can position myself to be a leader and make the most impact on my industry. If you don't mind, can you tell me a little bit about you and your career, are you an engineer? Have you moved up to management? You seem to not be so fond of it, why is that? I apologize for the long response, I'm truly hungry for knowledge and I'm trying to soak up everything I can so that I can be the best that I can be
