I’d argue the only real solution is a longer leave for both parents without affecting their careers. But it’s generally just not doable with their corporate culture.

Yes for electrical engineering. Got a job pretty easily at a job fair before graduating which ended up being something like 10% hardware 90% software. Eventually went to a biotech startup at about the same mix, and now in big tech building websites so 100% software.

I’d say the time at the startup was the most fulfilling, but the benefits I have now outweigh any downsides.

So far they’ve used an Iskander but that’s probably uneconomical. Now it might be even scarier for a Russian sub to sail around in the Black Sea, of which I think only 3 can be operational.
