So I just applied for this position.. Since I'm not engineering I think it will be a long shot but I know some people on here may be interested in something like this so I thought I would post about it. I feel like the majority of us on here could do very well in this position.

I see my comments about intern's over the past year or so have been spot on ;)

What is your academic major, GPA, experience?

Major is Economics, minor in statistics. GPA is 3.2 and I've worked at an HR consulting firm part time for the last year. As for experience with network related stuff, basically just being an active member on here for the last 6 months and doing my own reading on LTE technology.

I hate the GPA requirement.  Yes a lot of it is because mine always sucked, but GPA is a terrible measurement of abilities.

I agree.. Most people don't have a resume like mine, or know what I've done to get where I am. Sure I've got some blotches on my transcript, but those where because of external factors that where more important to focus my energy on at the time. Compare that to a kid who's never left campus all 4 years and had everything paid for by mommy and daddy. That's definitely not me.

college degree is a stupid thing to require to, I think if you got a lot of experience in something similar or in the field. You go with the guy who has the experience over the college degree.

Now that depends on the job,... 

 

If I'm hiring an engineer or a doctor, I want them to prove they rigorously studied all the important things at one point that are important to the job. Getting that degree shows dedication to all aspects of the presented material, and not just knowledge in a niche area I found interesting. I may be biased because I'm graduating in May with an Electrical Engineering degree, but having gone through the process I can truthfully tell you there's a big difference. I've had more experience with real engineering before college than some people get years after college, but I still wouldn't have hired me without a degree. The quest for my degree has shown me insight into different methods of solving the problem, that I'm able to use alongside my natural abilities to enhance the end result. I feel my experience makes my solutions more practical when applicable, but also reserved to make a judgement until I've analyzed the problem a bit. 

 

 

I agree.. Most people don't have a resume like mine, or know what I've done to get where I am. Sure I've got some blotches on my transcript, but those where because of external factors that where more important to focus my energy on at the time. Compare that to a kid who's never left campus all 4 years and had everything paid for by mommy and daddy. That's definitely not me.

 

I can fully understand. I've worked full time and have been given nothing during my time in school. Good luck to you in all that you do!

Trust me i know.  I've spent over ten years trying to earn a degree. I know and have learned the hard way.  Not everyone fits the educational model of college.

I work in tech; no degree; manage people with Master's degrees.

 

However, I understand the insurance needed, so am slowly accumulating credit hours from an online degree mill ("accredited" of course).

      Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Unable to confirm if it's really off but I noticed this morning that I'm no longer connecting to Band 41 on my home site. Switching my phone to LTE-only pretty much always put me on Band 41 since it was the least used band on T-Mobile's network. Now I'm only able to connect to Band 2/66. Not complaining because it means speeds are faster on LTE and maybe 150MHz n41 is around the corner.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.
