So, perhaps explore things where computer science & mechanical engineering overlap.

Both fields (cs & me) are by themselves general degrees where need to specialize / focus in on a given subject area(s) within the field to do real world applications. aka 3d printing (injection molding, mechanical processes modeling), robotics, automotive engineering, etc.

Beyond a salary, what expecting /looking for beyond just a job opportunity? (aka company type/size: startup / small company / position at large corporation / etc. )

Talking to others within CS / ME fields and/or researching organizations such as ACM[0], ASME[1], etc can help show case different use cases / things that make use of CS / ME backrounds.

-- can always look at use cases such as apple (jobs & wozniac); microsoft (gates & balmer); and/or company stories with a more of a mechanical engineering backround [1][2]

If had started at motorola after WWII, when company focus was on household appliances; would have stuck around when things shifted to cpu processors?
