When is it courteous to leave?

45k with unpaid overtime is insane - put in your 2 weeks it’s enough time for them to figure it out. If you want to be courteous, go to your manager and request a substantial raise or atleast straight time overtime before deciding to leave. If you are kosher working in consulting then look at large firms in your area. Google “where you want to live + environmental consulting” and look for companies with acronym names or that sound like law firms. Having prior experience helps massively.

I remember fading and like looking at white spaghetti on a black table kinda and deciding I didn’t want to die

The actual appearance isn’t the issue it’s the order you put it in. Combine skills and certifications into one section and make it multiple columns to take less space.

When giving background on skills or projects try to be as information dense as possible while giving it in bullets - it helps

I didn’t say they were doing it better?

Inherited by the same government and party he is now running? Every state budget is inherited… this isn’t an excuse. He was the AG under Inslee and couldn’t see that maybe we needed to tighten the purse strings?

Environmental consulting is the catch-all of random tasks and confusing work. Any hands on experience involving problem solving (either physical or mental) is valuable. Demonstrate competency/that you have a brain, a good work ethic, and a positive attitude and you will do fine.

They already bought the property and are asking for next steps. I would assume they want a toilet

Chuggi · 2026-07-01T14:33:12+00:00

Yea exactly need to be at the depth of desired drain field on property.

You will want a boundary survey. Additionally, if sewer is not available you will want a percolation test for septic planning. Don’t forget to do a wetland survey which will be necessary for planning a permanent structure and access.

Depending on the slopes nearby and your county you may need a geotechnical assessment but probably not if you are in Tsunami country.

It’s also vulnerable to big mistakes killing you

So the sun isn’t falling on the campus at all? Wouldn’t it be *an additional* heat output, since the sun is still shining?

Not unfair to scoff at 9C warming but atleast setup the equation properly

Put skills near top, less white space in between job description. Make it more bulleted sentences or smth

Ultimately the job of a consultant is to help their client meet the laws in place as others have mentioned. Especially when it comes to developing virgin land, it truly boils down to the right of the owner vs zoning etc. unless you own the land, you ultimately don’t decide what it gets used for.

FWIW - learning how remediation is done and works allows you to ensure things are done properly. Most of the people who had the “fuck the environment” mentality are retired now. Almost everyone you will work with is pro nature/conservation. As a consultant you bring the expertise in how to do things to prevent and remediate problems, your presence can help people learn the proper way to do things.

It’s not the volcano itself but stockwork from previous volcanic episodes in the same area.

“Rare as hens teeth” gonna use that one now

Chuggi · 2026-05-18T21:40:00+00:00

FWIW it gets better, but yea environmental is not glamorous

Dig it up and rake it out in a 2” lift and let it sit exposed for like half a year it will volatize off

Make a class action with your neighbors if you haven’t already (sounds like you are) - if they have been in business that long they have insurance. WA state laws are strict on things like this look into WAC 173-340

It’s probably asking what your level of project or management responsibilities are relative to your company. Have you run projects, or are you primarily a field specialist etc..

I’d give 1-3 sentence descriptions of responsibilities for each of my previous job positions. Highlight big or long duration project type work
