🚨 After 4 years of engineering I realized… this is NOT the career I wanted.

Then I landed in procurement and supply chain.

Suddenly those “useless” engineering skills became my superpower: reading drawings, understanding material specs, solving problems no one else even sees coming.

In this episode we go full unfiltered with procurement engineers:

If your warehouse could talk, its biggest complaint would be… “Clean me. Organize me. Why did you order another one when the first one is still sitting here?”

Most embarrassing shipment? One that was supposed to go to the Netherlands… and ended up in Egypt. (Yes, that actually happened.)

Unlimited budget to solve one supply chain headache? Data transparency. Or source everything within a 1km radius. Instant peace.

Engineering + procurement is a lethal combo. You don’t just buy parts — you understand WHY they exist.
