The first five years of your career can feel confusing, unstructured, and overwhelming — even for high-performing industrial and systems engineers.

In this trailer for an upcoming episode of Problem Solved, IISE Young Professionals Jess Aujla, Helen Siegrist, and Gordon Quach share candid reflections on what it really feels like to move from the classroom into the workforce — from losing the structure of school, to finding confidence, setting boundaries, and learning how to grow without burning out.

If you’re early in your career — or mentoring someone who is — this conversation will feel familiar.
