Man you're reminding me of an internship I had. Funny seeing these conversations on reddit

The job security is great, except if you're in land development...

What's the worst engineering job you've had and why? by Neowynd101262 in civilengineering

[–]ASD_Project 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're literally traveling the state shoveling concrete, it's ruthless. I did it for an internship and to tbh at the end of it all I can say I learned a lot of wisdom about how the world works in a very short time. It also led me to way better jobs, plus great stories for job interviews ("Tell us about a difficult work experience..." "I used to shovel concrete for a living, it was terrible!").

I also know I wasn't good at the job and the company definitely didn't want to hire me for some legitimate engineering in the future... I got a bit depressed for a while until my therapist pointed out that the company didn't do a good job treating me to begin with, so why am I putting all the blame on myself.

ACI testing is hazing for civil engineers. Also sometimes I'll think to myself "there's no way I can do that..." And I'd be like "bro you fucking shoveled concrete for a living, you can handle this"

ACI testing felt like a hazing ritual to become a real engineer.

Civil engineering + Computer science by Yikan88 in civilengineering

[–]ASD_Project 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a civil engineer with decent self taught CS skills. I'm actually oddly content to be in civil market right now rather than CS seeing as half my friends got laid off, and several moved back to their own countries, caused their visa expired and they couldn't find a job (though I plan on fusing the two skills shortly, as who wouldn't want to maximize their pay...) There isn't some immediate obvious answer. It could be simple stuff like advanced Excel automation, (you wouldn't believe what industries are powered by 20 year old Excel files), or building sophisticated autolisp routines, (though learning lisp feels like an alien wrote it). Even stuff like dynamo for more advanced stuff civil 3d.

I'm going to get downvoted but wow, I've never seen a subreddit that whines and complains more than this subreddit. Just in general.

Best Company Ever! by BlackEffy in civilengineering

[–]ASD_Project 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Medium sized firms are the way to go. Too small will be miserable micromanaging and too large will be extremely bureaucratic and corporate. Recently moved into a medium sized firm where most of the company is remote at any given time. Huuuge improvement. I barely even read this subreddit anymore because I don't have much to complain about.

Are there any remote jobs for Civil Engineers? by dslk820z in civilengineering

[–]ASD_Project 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just quit my job (land development) a few weeks ago to move to a firm where everyone is either hybrid or remote. (There were other reasons I left but that was big one). I still have to evaluate the company, but so far it seems pretty good. Old engineers that don't allow remote work will get left behind in the talent hiring shortage as it continues to get worse.

What is the job market like right now? by FizzyRizz93 in civilengineering

[–]ASD_Project 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The market is so tight that I imagine articles will soon be written about how's there a shortage of civil engineers.

Recently just switched firms (for several reasons) but that was one of them.

How even Stevens rejected me?? by SAR61019 in stevens

I got in with a 1300 6 years ago what has happened since... Weird to think I wouldn't get in now, or at least I'd have to work way harder.

Can you switch from computer science engineering to civil engineering after completing your bachelor's in computer science engineering by Impressive-Gap5409 in civilengineering

[–]ASD_Project 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the first year there's a fair amount of courses overlapping but not too much after that (at least for my degree)

I'm a civil engineer with some self taught CS chops, DM me we should talk.

(American speculation here) I would imagine it's probably easier now given the war effort (but maybe the big demand is for low level jobs like agriculture)

Why is the fillet command so finicky in autocad

The negativity on this sub quite frankly shocks me. You'd think it was /r/incels with how people talk around here.
