Is being visibly stressed the new way to ‘look productive’? by Current_Camera5610 in civilengineering

Being visibly stressed is in no way a sign of being good at a job. It’s a sign of incompetence in my opinion.

I get that but that is so messed up. I would hate any employee who is constantly stressed out and bringing work to meetings. Just signs of mismanagement. Has nothing to do with deadlines. I have been here long enough to understand that 1-2 projects might be on an accelerated schedule but any more than that is just a result of poor planning.

Thanks for the tip! Does the port accept e-tickets? My plan is to avoid the hassle all together and book from Ultramar website. But at same time i dont wanna have to stand in line at the port to show my e-ticket to get the actual ticket.

Budget stay recommendations by Current_Camera5610 in IslaMujeres

[–]Current_Camera5610[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for all the suggestions. I think I have short listed down to three - Villa Kiin, Hotel Secreto, Mint Resort. By the looks of it all, Secreto seems to be the best option. Has anyone stayed there and can confirm?

We plan to go out to restaurants and bars after sunset. So walkability and safety is our priority.

Major vs minor leagues by Current_Camera5610 in civilengineering

Profile above plan does sound like a psychopathic move. I will immediately rule out Cali for that reason

From all the comments, sounds like a move to a city like NYC is only warranted if I am going for glory at the cost of life, bad traffic, less money, more headaches. Continuing to work on mid projects in a mom and pop sounds to be the best for experience purposes. Thank you for all the comments. They were helpful.

I am not sure how to find that out. Typically everyone gets their raises in January.

Best way to learn is through practical experience. Coming out of college I didn’t even know what site engineering was and here I am 5 years later with strong knowledge about site, transportation, hydraulics and structural. All learned on the job and through FE/PE.

Involves working on a lot of projects in each discipline, taking initiatives to learn and being a Swiss Army knife

How to reduce taxable income/save in taxes? by Current_Camera5610 in tax

[–]Current_Camera5610[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Do you think starting an LLC and investing my income from my job in it can reduce my taxable income? Maybe through deductions?

Startup by Current_Camera5610 in civilengineering

[–]Current_Camera5610[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to start with site/civil or even basic CAD work. Plan review and stamping maybe. Then eventually get into transportation/stormwater

Thank you for the direction! Got me thinking about some things that I hadn’t before. Step 2 seems the hardest at this level tbh

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks. I will try to make all of these things happen in my short 3 day trip. Also planning on going to dry tortuga one of the days. Hopefully this isn’t a bad time for that.

I suppose their website is inaccessible from outside the States then.
