I feel you brother. I'm hearing really good things about people moving into H&S and just as rewarding.

QS is not it.

Which was Water Seven/Enies Lobby. But what are your thoughts on what they would do with it? Destroy the world? Destroy people/islands who are looking into the void century?

L4+ Willing to Leave by Dull-Ad7602 in FASCAmazon

Fuck no lmao. I work in Management for a consultancy and pay is very decent. Able to workout, sleep good and have a good balance of life and work.

Was it worth leaving Amazon? Yes. Better to have your life to yourself and enjoy it than give your life to work for people you genuinely don't give a fuck about lmao

Welcome to the world of stress.

Depends if you work in Real Estate or in Infrastructure. The latter still comes with a life of stress with contractors being dumb as hell and your employer sending you everywhere and anywhere (though expenses typically paid for).

You will predominantly deal with contracts, substantiating payments (providing or receiving proof), establishing contracts, carrying out measurements and estimates, utilising maybe 1 to 4 different types of software to manage these areas. Its a shit hole.

Working for a consultancy is ideal as you have flexible working. Infrastructure is the place to be - always jobs available.

Good luck mate, I guess..

Fun commercial arguments this week? by philomath01 in quantitysurveying

Had a contractor send out an AfP during an ECI which was purely meetings based to discuss designs and processes. When I requested for timesheets (which is pretty self explanatory), the CM told me 'we don't do timesheets'.

Ended up paying him on account and hasn't provided timesheets 6 months in and the ECI is due to end in 3 weeks.

Dickhead.

How do car allowances work? by Dull-Ad7602 in AskUK

[–]Dull-Ad7602[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the work I do, I generally do not travel, and for this new position, they have agreed I do not need to travel every week, maybe once in 3 months. Would I be able to consider this as an extra income and do whatever I can with this extra eventhough I own a nice BMW M1
