No, you aren't fucked. You may find it difficult to find a job exactly related to DSP though. That was my focus in undergrad but the majority of that work is in defense which didn't gel with me.

I find that with the DSP focus, you get a good background in mathematical thinking. Not anywhere to the point of a math or science major. That said, you can swing it in interviews to show how you think.

I guess I should be glad to have a job.

Been there almost 5 years, no real sign a promotion will ever come. Need to find a way out but they pay well enough to keep me. Similar employers in the area pay slightly less making it not seem worth it.

But I get bullied and slandered by my own bosses who treat me like shit on a daily basis. I'm becoming depressed but they don't allow criticism and retaliate often so I can't really confront them on their BS. Life is pain. But at least I'm not homeless I guess.

I have absolute 0 pity for you fuck up. Can’t blame it for being muh white male muh diversity agenda you have a great degree and you didn’t apply worth shit. Bet you didn’t do undergrad research or get a internship/co-op or even at the bare minimum work a retail job you idiot. Literally go to indeed and type in “engineering” filter for entry level and 14 days and start applying. Do the exact same for “technician” and do not put a fucking location down, just avoid anything posted in California or the north east and apply for anything remotely related to your major. This advice applies to any other engineering major. Civil and Electrical literally have the best job prospects, you have no excuse.

Thank you for the offer as a [Job Title]! I am excited to have the opportunity to join your team at [XYZ Inc.] and am looking forward to working on [Project mentioned during interview].

Regarding the compensation amount, I was wondering if it could be brought up to ($25/h). I think this would be a bit more appropriate given my past success with [resume line item/accomplishment]. Please let me know what you think.

Question for people who've successfully applied for faculty/post-doc jobs (or at least gotten to the interview stage): How long is it reasonable to wait until after their posted review start date to not get any kind of feedback other than the automated "we received your app" shit? I've put in about a two dozen apps out since January and I haven't heard a peep back from any of them.

Is it just a slow process or are schools straight up ghosting applicants now?
