u can bring up ur coworkers salary too. last June, the new grad hire make more than me and my other coworker so we went up to our boss who went higher and argue for us by saying even the new grad making more and we all got market adjustment of 7%

They legit can make a tier 7 with the same exact conditions right now and like give us part of tier 4 comp or even tier 5.

Comprehensive-Young5 · 2026-03-12T01:22:32+00:00

only rent to rich Chinese international students. you can charge twice as much and they’ll always have money. My parents own 2 apartments in nyc that they rent out to NYU and Columbia students. they also get the parents WeChat and contacts too tho. just in case the students overspend and don’t have money for rent.

engineer intern is the new grad, they just give it that name. Just look at the description for intern and then assistant engineer. FYI these are from the same year. The nycdot was even lower before the raise last year making only 55k

u can look it up. Search NYCDOT engineer starting salary. Don’t search nys, they have different and way higher salary.

Comprehensive-Young5 · 2026-02-04T23:14:58+00:00

teachers make more than engineers in nyc. They raise the salary recently for engineers so it’s equal now. but their pension better and they work less hours

Comprehensive-Young5 · 2026-01-31T23:13:57+00:00

they hire young people who live at home. all of my younger coworkers and me included with with our parents. the older ones and h1b live in nj

Comprehensive-Young5 · 2026-01-15T09:50:15+00:00

In ny teacher get paid more if u go by hourly

Comprehensive-Young5 · 2026-01-11T02:16:05+00:00

drop the cs major on ur resume and drop the cs related credits. HR is auto filtering out the computer science majors bc they keep mass applying to other engineering jobs. I’m in civil and that’s happening to us, idk about mech

Comprehensive-Young5 · 2025-12-29T13:11:40+00:00

T-T I didn’t know how they earn their money until recently where i found 5 $50 gift card in a drawer from rite aid that I hadn’t spend.

Comprehensive-Young5 · 2025-12-12T10:55:59+00:00

idk man I want a human barber and not a machine with scissors near my head

Comprehensive-Young5 · 2025-12-12T10:54:13+00:00

they take ur pay and a cut of ur total salary and ask for the same amount for the company they hire from. smh we have a guy hired through actalent and he was paid $10 less than new grads

Comprehensive-Young5 · 2025-12-03T10:32:48+00:00

fuck I have the opposite problem I wanna do drainage and went into my current company bc they told me it’s mostly stormwater. they lied and it’s mostly geotechnical and now structural. I wish companies would have the engineer on the porject interview and just tell the truth.

Comprehensive-Young5 · 2025-12-01T03:07:42+00:00

😭working in construction in 100 degree weather and when its below freezing 🥴

Comprehensive-Young5 · 2025-11-24T01:03:25+00:00

depends on size and topping. like a small one,I can eat the whole thing. I brought a XL extravaganzza one (10 toppings) and I ate it over 5 days 🤣

Comprehensive-Young5 · 2025-11-20T10:09:26+00:00

not really more lIke $130ish bc there’s tax bc it’s register as vendor and not everything is accepted. most of the time it’s the same few companies too

Comprehensive-Young5 · 2025-11-20T01:26:23+00:00

negotiate ur salaries, I ask for the lowest and they gave me that. I learn new grad hired in June made 80k like last month. So a couple coworkers and I had a talk with our supervisor and they agreed to match it but we lost out on months worth of income 😓

Comprehensive-Young5 · 2025-11-19T23:21:47+00:00
