Cannot become principal engineer if you cannot relocate
Cannot become principal engineer if you cannot relocate
Nice facilities in Shannon. Nice place to work. Good benefits.
I attended a talk given by three principal engineers.
Management has also given the same advice.
You cannot become a principal engineer in Shannon unless:
- you spend a year working in more important sites
- meet the right people in these more important sites
- are lucky
This is because principal engineers are determined by a committee of people, and none of these people work in Shannon. Also, I am told there is a lot of politics with regard to these positions.
In summary, as a family man, forget about technical career progression in Shannon.

Easy, the skills are a good asset, but are better when you are referred. Usually, graduates are preferred, but there might be a need for a more senior candidate. In this case, I think the referral would take priority.

Two first-round interviews (two interviewers each for 30 minutes each) and one second-round interview (six interviewers for 30 minutes each). All technical questions. Most people only have one first-round interview.
