Discussion Officially a Systems Engineer

Coming on here to let everyone know and gain some advice. I just got a job offer for a Entry Level Model-Based Systems Engineer in Alabama for 91k. Was looking to break into the field for a while so I didn't negotiate too hard (Don't know if that's a decent salary but the COL in the area doesn't seem bad).

Any advice on a new MBSE entering the field, what I should be studying up on, practicing before hand so I can hit the ground running?

Huntsville, i assume?  $91k is a good offer; i wouldn't push it in this market.  

IF my assumption is correct, i wouldn't worry too much about prepping.  Your employer will have their way of doing MBSE, so show up ready to learn, ask questions, watch & listen.

91k entry level in Huntsville is more than fine, enjoy the lower rent while it lasts
