Just got a mail about IEEE membership. I should have applied when I left college but you know it costs a bit and didnt bother.

So just wondering is there any benefit in getting it?

Well I'm def part of the BCS camp here. I did look at IEEE a while back and contacted them.

Persoanlly I wasn't impressed with the way they treated me and they didn't seem to want to get my membership so I didn't bother in the end.

 

I am looking at the benefits and I am a bit meh'd by the whole thing. It doesnt seem too appealing being honest

 

And since I am based in Norway, neither of those would really apply nor does IEEE for me right now then

 

My mistake, as Ken pointed out. It was the IET I was referring to. I've no experience with the IEEE and don't know anyone who is a member.

BCS doesn't seem to have any Scandinavian groups .... you could always start one !

 

Hmmm maybe not... considering I am not British :P

 

We're not fussy !

 

I think i will look at the NCS .. as for the BCS hmmm we might park that

 

My dad tried to convince me that the IET was a good idea, largely because you get access to Savoy Place. The library is fairly incredible but the BCS seemed more relevant to me!
