I feel this is a safe space to talk about this as female engineers.

I recently switched company’s after 5 years as an electrical engineer. I’m now learning that my last company did not invest in me at all because I couldn’t even do basic calculations when my boss asked me to. He was confused thinking I knew this but when I told him I was never taught this he was like well we have to teach you now. I feel like an idiot that I didn’t know this basic stuff. We never had to use it in my last company - it was all just DO IT and never the why and how.

I had a really decent pay jump coming to this company and now I’m wondering if they regret hiring me.
