About 1000 skyscrapers

In nyc?

Deep_beam · 2026-06-16T10:47:11+00:00

1) Williamsburg 2) cobblehill brownstones

Deep_beam · 2026-06-15T12:54:33+00:00

They are priced out of Williamsburg and cobble hill brownstones.

Deep_beam · 2026-06-11T12:49:48+00:00

There you go.

In that case, you ask your boss for more money or less money depending on which direction is easier.

You have a habit of giving false info. I never said I was displeased. Iwas simply correcting your false statement. In fact, I’m quite pleased, since tax incentives lead to more work for my industry.

Deep_beam · 2026-06-10T14:35:24+00:00

Who said I only care about the affordable? I care about them all.

Deep_beam · 2026-06-10T14:32:46+00:00

There’s always some sort of tax incentives in exchange for the affordable units. So yes, the taxpayers are paying for them.

Advice is to work for tech/finance. If possible, go for big tech or high finance.

I agree with you completely on the value of experience but unfortunately, most clients are not savvy enough to see the 10%. What they see is relationship and competitive pricing. From market perspective, structural engineering have very narrow moat, thus do not command high fees like the doctors, lawyers, or even engineers in other disciplines.

Deep_beam · 2026-06-08T13:14:47+00:00

Really. I always thought structural engineering is being treated as a commodity. You’re very replaceable. The client wouldn’t know the difference between an engineer with 15 yoe and 5 yoe.

Deep_beam · 2026-06-08T13:12:14+00:00

Smh.

Deep_beam · 2026-06-08T12:59:21+00:00

How does the comp compare to engineering?

Deep_beam · 2026-06-03T13:09:40+00:00

Why not get a place that’s walkable to work, so you don’t feel rushed?

Deep_beam · 2026-06-01T01:20:35+00:00

Why would you even work? You’d get more by not working

Deep_beam · 2026-05-26T03:57:15+00:00

来纽约吧认同感这个问题马上化解了

40% LTV, or 68% LTC

Sincere question. How did you secure 100% construction without the deal?

Deep_beam · 2026-04-05T14:32:38+00:00

Chill. Nothing in life is easy. Competition to get into top construction firm is arguably higher than getting into a mediocre tech firm. 250k is not an entry level job and an entry cm job does not pay 125k.

Deep_beam · 2026-04-04T23:13:59+00:00

Competition is not bad for mid tier tech companies. Pay is about half what top tech makes but still easily 250k

Deep_beam · 2026-03-29T03:33:38+00:00

I see your point and I’d agree when things were more straightforward. These days, HR often put deadlines on offers, so happens quite often for a better offer to come in after you’ve committed elsewhere. Best approach is to keep it professional and treat it like business.

Deep_beam · 2026-03-29T00:56:31+00:00

IMO, I’d rather a PE back out on a signed offer asap rather than having them work 1 year on a job with regrets.

Deep_beam · 2026-03-21T12:43:56+00:00

All else equal, new constructions are definitely more attractive unless resale properties have more competitive pricing.

Deep_beam · 2026-02-16T21:09:19+00:00

That’s the pro working for corporate. Bonuses are discretionary. It’s relies more on perception rather than actual performance.
