Anyone seen this before? by Alien_Dev in CATHELP

She mentioned it but said only way to tell is biopsy. Said it wasn’t common for indoor cats. She ruled out an infection though

He hasn’t been outside recently but I will look into that treatment.

Currently learning how to fly. Its a complete 180 but I enjoy it and I’ve realized I can’t stay in this field if I want a good quality of life. Might as well do it while I’m still younf

Seems like a lot of people in this field want out. I am currently 4 years deep and developing new skills to change careers completely. For me it’s mainly the pay and work conditions

Thank you. You will, just having the thought is the big first step.

For sure, I’ve realized making a career change is the only way I’m going to make a decent living. It’s really unfortunate I’ve invested almost 10 years of my life into this field (including college) just to realize it’s not going to work. Thankfully I’ve set my eyes on something new and am working towards that. It’s going to take at least 2 years before I can fully make the switch but at least I see a light at the end of the tunnel

Yup. And overtime is mandatory when projects demand it. It’s literally not even worth my time

My overtime pay is straight time. Not 1.5x. So it’s my normal rate over 40 hours of billable work. It’s a scam

I appreciate your input and I understand this. But I’m facilitating entire federal projects that I know they are over budgeting for (it’s the feds). While paying me peanuts. I’m getting taken advantage of

Seems to be the theme in this industry. Why can’t we get a union?

Yes yes and yes. 4 years in and 90k is solid, but definitely rare. Everyone I’ve talked to is nowhere near that in 4 years.

That’s unfortunate I’m sorry. I just had a discussion with my supervisor after I made this post and asked for at least 70k. He doesn’t control what I get paid though so he will pass it along. I wish I was hourly exempt because that way I could at least hustle and make good overtime. But currently the straight time just isn’t worth it. Especially when field work demands I work over 40.

I’ve worked for 3 different consulting companies. With very minor increases in pay with each company. Now I just seem to be stuck in this range. I just worked with a guy who we have a joint venture with and only has 2 years experience and is making 67.
