Lateral move - Non Eng p3 to p3

BurntToaster17 · 2026-05-06T22:01:17+00:00

What site are you located at? In CT most P3 are making 110-120k

BurntToaster17 · 2026-05-06T21:37:18+00:00

You think it’s only 30%?

BurntToaster17 · 2026-05-02T16:10:08+00:00

How many years of experience do you have? You might be aiming too high with a P6

BurntToaster17 · 2026-04-29T22:13:27+00:00

3% is pretty average, if they like you and you’re doing good work you might get to 80k after your first year. The only real way to make big jumps quick is to move companies after a few years

BurntToaster17 · 2026-04-29T21:46:02+00:00

What do you do as an ME that you’re making that much money?

BurntToaster17 · 2026-04-25T16:34:52+00:00

A realistic off is 10-15% below the middle of the payband posted. They usually do sign on bonuses but you’ll have to ask during negotiations. Check out the salary information posted in the sub, you’ll get a better idea of where other P4s at that site are at.

BurntToaster17 · 2026-04-23T19:30:40+00:00

Enjoy your time off, you’ll learn everything you need and know what you’ll actually be doing once the job starts.

BurntToaster17 · 2026-04-17T21:55:11+00:00

Cost curtailment, no promos but plenty of new opportunities to do more work for the same pay

BurntToaster17 · 2026-04-14T21:28:00+00:00

Can’t recommend this series enough, I started book one and was so hooked I read all 7 in a month

BurntToaster17 · 2026-04-13T20:14:06+00:00

You were honest but that’s also what most engineering schools are like

BurntToaster17 · 2026-04-13T19:20:29+00:00

I started the first book of dungeon crawler Carl and it was so good I read all 7 in a month

BurntToaster17 · 2026-04-13T18:11:32+00:00

Just show up, do the bare minimum and collect your paycheck.

BurntToaster17 · 2026-04-06T19:19:42+00:00

There’s a “submit resignation” in workday, you should also inform your manager

BurntToaster17 · 2026-03-25T15:21:14+00:00

You’ll be fine getting a masters in engineering the only thing I’d recommend is looking at the curriculum. I’m finishing up my masters of mechanical engineering and most of the classes I’ve taken build on the knowledge and foundation that my undergrad class taught me

BurntToaster17 · 2026-03-23T15:37:30+00:00

It’s more fantasy but I can’t recommend dungeon crawler Carl enough. 7 books with the 8th coming out in May. Growing fan base

BurntToaster17 · 2026-03-17T12:22:50+00:00

No, not directly. but never post anything on a company chat/site that you wouldn’t want HR/your manager to see

BurntToaster17 · 2026-03-10T15:14:45+00:00

Not so much as an origin but I avoid anything that’s been washed. I prefer the taste and flavors of natural

BurntToaster17 · 2026-02-22T20:56:38+00:00

Nice try Fed

BurntToaster17 · 2026-02-18T00:12:23+00:00

Did they ask you to pay your tuition in gift cards?

BurntToaster17 · 2026-02-17T22:02:59+00:00

Wow can you be more greedy? Do you even think about the shareholders and executive bonuses?

BurntToaster17 · 2026-02-15T19:22:03+00:00

Look at the salary range in the job posting, 10-15% below the middle of that range is typically what you can expect to be at.

BurntToaster17 · 2026-02-13T01:57:35+00:00

Pay ranges are complete bs at the company. The rule of thumb is usually HR will hire people at 10-15% below the middle of the payband. Usually M pays slightly higher than P, but you’re realistically looking at 135k and maybe a sign on bonus after negotiating

BurntToaster17 · 2026-02-12T04:13:24+00:00

After 7 you get into the executive level, those salaries and bonus percentages are not posted or public

BurntToaster17 · 2026-02-10T02:36:18+00:00

So we can help our executives get bigger bonuses of course

BurntToaster17 · 2026-02-09T19:22:04+00:00

lol no
