Day in the Life of a Mechanical Engineer in Sweden

[@ArielBaloy]

You are such an inspiration

[@playmaker7094]

always giving me a reason to wait for the next vid, seems the container has really humbled you

[@scandinavianprincefourteen88]

I just found your channel recently, maybe a month ago. I'm in my second year majoring in ee and ce, and I love the quality of your content!

[@theannareich]

Thank you so much!!

[@omermasood3241]

I like how there is a balance in the lifestyle in Sweden; work in the mornings along with sports at night. In some countries, instead of 9 to 5 job, it is like working constantly from 8 a.m to 10 p.m. 4:19 is that from Sims game? 😄

[@theannareich]

Yeah I had to think of when you put something in the way of your sims and they freeze on the spot and call for help. That's how I feel in the factory sometimes lol 🤣

Do you have any tips for dealing with imposter syndrome and executive dysfunction? I'm an Engineer in Canada and I always struggle with thinking I'm going to make a mistake until I just do nothing at all, and no matter how long I do something, I still feel like a beginner and everyone else knows something that I don't. its a real struggle!

[@theannareich]

Hi, thanks for the great question. That’s definitely a topic I have struggled with at times too! I can’t say I have the solution & I could (and probably will) make a whole video about this but here are some thoughts: - imposter syndrome: it helps to talk with others and realize that a lot of people struggle with this despite being great engineers. And for me it helped me to ask my manager exactly what’s expected of me because then I know, if I fulfill that, I’m doing my job. Then it just went away over time for me. - executive dysfunction: This one is more tricky because there can be a lot of different causes. To me it sounds like perfectionism is the cause for you where you make a task seem so intimidating that you don’t get started at all. What helps me is the always ask for a deadline when I get a task and to make sure that I have enough tasks to do at any given time. This might sound counterintuitive but when I have lots of things to do, I don’t have time to get hung up on any one of them and I just do them. I also like to make a todo list for the day but only write down the next small task needed for a given project, for example “schedule a meeting with x” instead of “work on the project”. And if I still have trouble getting started, sometimes it works to trick myself into working using the Pomodoro method. Then I set a timer for 25 minutes and tell myself that I will just try working for that time and then I can stop. But usually starting is the hardest part and I get into the task and then just ignore the timer and keep working. And sometimes I stop, take a break and then set another timer and just get through the day in little work intervals. It can be different from day to day what works. I hope this helps a little bit :)

Nice video. Greetings from Finland

[@theannareich]

Thanks! Good luck with your channel, I love the channel name!

[@marcelo1march]

Hi Anna! I found your channel by randomly browsing in search to reegnite my passion for mechanical engineering. I graduate as Mechanical Engineer with minor in business administration last June, and after working as an intern and later full time on a tech logistics startup my passion faded away since i was not applying much of what i once loved. Thank you for making this videos, and motivating me to pursue the mechanical path again.

[@theannareich]

So glad to hear it :) You can do it!

[@juliangassmann2101]

Wow, it's very interesting. Thanks for show your day in a funny way. I love your jokes =)

[@Raine_R]

*purely inspiring*

[@GREENROBINS]

Hi Anna, I hope you're doing well. I am not sure if anyone has asked this, but did you have a choice to work away from your main location? It must have been quite hard mentally to move somewhere for a short amount of time. Were there any incentives in doing so?

[@Jaiteh_09]

I really love your content

[@kathandave3807]

Hey mam, I'm in my last year of mechanical engineering. And I'm from India. Is it really good for doing Master or any other PG Diploma courses in Sweden?

[@ConventionChallenger]

can't wait to graduate

[@gkgaming988]

Hlo mam, iam also a mechanical engineer, i have just completed my diploma in mechanical engineering and now iam doing my internship. Can I get a job in your company. If yes please let me know . Please help me to get a job , bcz iam interested in your company and to work in Sweden

[@ЕвгенияЛысенко-у4н]

That's a bit random, don't you think? 😃🙈

[@arjitrathore808]

Hi there , I did bachelor in mechanical engineering from India , how can I get a job in Sweden ?

[@KD14-s8w]

A quick question, what major should I take if I want an engineering career which is most physics and math intensive.

[@theannareich]

Great news, that gives you a lot of options! :D If you want the most math, you could go with Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering. If you want the most physics, you should probably go with Electrical Engineering (limited to electrics) or Mechanical Engineering (uses all types of physics). Hope this helps :)

[@KD14-s8w]

@@theannareich Thanks a lot.

[@ЕвгенияЛысенко-у4н]

There is also a major in engineering math😃 Then there is a bit of physics and a looot of math🤓

[@simplewar]

😢night time looks haunting

[@indiantech6841]

I am also a mechanical engineering from Mumbai University

DREAM TO BE Mechanical Engineer

[@OnlyTruth2023]

Guys do you feel that robots are threatening our work? Greetings from Zero Country Robot 😂 Greetings of love and respect from Iraq to all the world

[@vlockasnehova7043]

could you make interviews with your colleagues?

[@theannareich]

Great news! I'm in the process of starting a podcast where I interview other engineers and I'll try to also interview some colleagues on there. You can subscribe here so you don't miss it: www.youtube.com/@freshengineer

[@lindaniblackmogul6643]

Hey i want to pursue a degree in mechanical engineering in Sweden how do i apply im from Swaziland, Africa

[@kudzai9643]

There not many undergrads engineering courses in English…. The best way is to get your bachelor and pursue your masters in Sweden . I hope you will find this helpful 😊

[@sivanagireddypulusu]

Hey dude are you still wants to study in Sweden ?

[@sivanagireddypulusu]

I aslo want to pursue mechanical engineering in Sweden

[@Hibousa]

sorry to ask,but a mechanical engineer in sweden can't rent his own flat ,are salaries this low ?????

[@theannareich]

Haha no that's just where I was staying while working at the factory (which is over 600km away from where I live). I do have my own apartment in Stockholm

[@pradipkhant2961]

What is the basic salary of freshers engineer.i m mechanical engineer from India

[@theannareich]

In Sweden? I think the average starting salary for mechanical engineers is about 35.000 SEK per month.

[@Jaiteh_09]

Hi I want you to study mechanical engineering from high school.....I want to study in Sweden. Can you please help me on my journey

[@theannareich]

What question can I help with?

[@Jaiteh_09]

I want to study mechanical engineering in Sweden, how can I apply scholarship to one the engineering schools

[@s1mon8ratt96]

This was so awesome, what was your master?

[@theannareich]

My master was Mechanical Engineering with a specialization in Production Technology :)

[@lisanlisu333]
