A lot of them retired too and enjoyed making bank producing a pile of hot mess that the rest of the higher ups did not fully appreciate the mess they were producing. Collected their multi million packages and left

Since you're on this thread..who normally runs the investment decisions inside of a bank, whether retail or investment. Is there a CIO office or is that the function of their Treasury department? Does it go by other names?
And in your experiences in 2008, what sort of strategy planning/what if scenarios were being played out since it was unprecedented and no one knew what was going to happen the next day

There is a field of study called Mechatronics that combined Mechanics and Electronics though that is not the only path
For more hobbyist stuff, join the Lego FIRST competitions though note that the Mindstorms product line has been recently discontinued though Educators may still be able to obtain the Spike set. Look into open source ROS operating system
E.g. control engineers can also get into robotics and it's better not to havea more broad degree in my humble opinion

I teach a robotics class and we use the Legos and it was super fufilling indeed (too bad mindstorms is being discontinued by the way)

That's impressive. I've heard and the product manuals of most multi meters talk about the risk of shock when opening it up. Does anyone know how likely or rare that is?

It's amazing how a few people have left such a big mark on a part of the investment banking industry. I missed Kirat right before exiting BAML but met all his "disciples" and Dubno..including his miniature dinosaur and telescope in his office :). Very much felt like tech religion where no open debate on merits and drawbacks could be discussed. And a lot has changed in terms of engineering innovation with turnover since that era...

RIP Gerber, I will miss his work greatly.
This study feels flawed by asking people directly if their job was useless but I think it's human nature to justify ones job, let alone one's existence. Very few people will self challenge themselves, especially if their livelihood depends on it.
