Re: When to leave that first tech job?
The author's lack of experience is shown in the article (and I'm not talking about where is said he graduated in 2004). He did make a few valid points, but he also sounded a little inexperience in other areas.
One big problem with his article: "Don't work in cubicles, ever." He might as well have said: "don't work, ever." I don't know of a single company in which the engineers get offices. I'm sure there are small companies (VERY small companies) where the engineers have offices, but I've never seen it. At TRW, you do not get an office unless you are a chief engineer or higher. For those that don't know, chief engineers have at least three levels of employees below them.
I have to stop typing this post because I have to go interview someone from a "low cost country" that is replacing (I believe our management likes to say "supplementing", but who are we kidding) engineers here in the US since they make about 1/7th of what we make. We need to do everything we can to cut engineering costs to make engineering in the US competitive to the "low cost countries", and this guy is whining that he doesn't have an office? He's lucky to get a job.
