You seem smart and dedicated, nvm what I said about the FFL, lol, you can do much more. Stay focused on your doctorate and let's just hope the future will be bright or at least safe outside of the US in the next decade, an electrical engineer will hardly go hungry anywhere in the world. I have a feeling you'll do just fine. ๐Ÿ‘

Personally, I'm in the UK but idk for how long, I'm brown and Muslim and that's just a crime against humanity in some very angry circles over here. ๐Ÿคท

Honestly, that's rough ukkk. Hope you can find a safer country.

I genuinely couldn't find work in AmeriKKKa when I got my bachelors degree ๐Ÿคท. And a bunch of my colleagues hit the same wall. But I'm definitely not doing myself any favors by being autistic ๐Ÿ™ƒ. Industry simply does not want people like me. But fortunately, it's kind of a superpower in academia if one of your autistic special interests is math ๐Ÿ˜†
