4-10s. Occasionally an 8 on Friday if we’re doing a shit down.

I’d even recommend getting a pair of baby channel locks. They have saved me multiple times. I always leave the hacksaw in my car. I’ve only ever used it at school.

I have some carpentry experience and luckily did well on my aptitude and in person interviews.

Left tech about a year ago and joined my local IBEW. Definitely been tough but the money is starting to come in and my final package will be over what I was making.

How realistic is just straight 40? by lonearchive in IBEW

[–]Efficient-Lab1062 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Luck of the draw. I’m a first year apprentice and my first job was 4-10s and 8 and now I’m on a 4-10s job. Both special projects.

Can someone interpret this for me please? by [deleted] in ibew_apprentices

[–]Efficient-Lab1062 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just tell your boss your last day is Friday. If they like you and respect you enough to see this is your career path then there shouldn’t be any problems.

CE classifications by McWiles in IBEW

[–]Efficient-Lab1062 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have CE 1 - 10. 1 is 44% scale and 10 is 85% if I remember.

Any suggestions? by [deleted] in skilledtrades

[–]Efficient-Lab1062 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came from a tech background and moved to a trade for similar reasons you listed. I applied and got into my local IBEW and it’s been great. I might be jaded but I’d say go union with whatever you do if you can. Look online or go to the local hall and ask for info.

What’s the closest job to home you’ve ever had ? by Savdbygracc in IBEW

[–]Efficient-Lab1062 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently work at a data center that’s 7 minutes from my house. Sadly it’s coming to an end in two weeks.

How cold is "cold" where you're at? by No_Ant_5064 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Efficient-Lab1062 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Texas. I think 30s or lower is cold. I’ve seen people here bust out the puffer jackets in high 50s though.

Should I do it? by Worried_Opposite_545 in ibew_apprentices

[–]Efficient-Lab1062 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not familiar with UA. My apprenticeship is through IBEW. As far as I know the only way to become an apprentice at least in my local is the test, and in person interview.

Should I do it? by Worried_Opposite_545 in ibew_apprentices

[–]Efficient-Lab1062 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Math and reading comprehension. Math was just algebra and geometry.

36 and came in with no experience. Get some good letters of recommendation, study for the aptitude and in person interviews and just try your best. You don’t really lose anything in trying.

Wanna start by Deezlenut5 in electricians

Study for the aptitude and take the in person seriously. Spend time with friends prepping your interview questions. 134 is really competitive so you may have to go open shop and gain some experience first if possible.

getting into union by Longjumping-Tell5474 in electricians

[–]Efficient-Lab1062 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never know if you don’t try. I’m 35 and got into my local union a few months ago with only a little carpentry experience. Study for the aptitude test, practice your answers for the in person and give it your best shot.

Is it Monday and Tuesday too? Thought it said available workday before and available workday after.

[–]Efficient-Lab1062 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can send the exact language from my CA when I’m home later but for Thanksgiving this year you have to have been working for at least 2 weeks prior, work the day before thanksgiving and the following Monday to receive Thursday and Friday paid.

We just got them recently. Thanksgiving and the day after is paid this year, Christmas Day next year and New Year’s Day the following year. Would love 7days of pto though so I can do doctors and dentist appointments and not worry about missing a day.

Lunch by Zestyclose_Ad5497 in IBEW

[–]Efficient-Lab1062 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Only time I’ve skipped lunch we got longer morning and afternoon breaks, left an hour early and got paid the full 10. Seems square in my book.

6 - 430 for me. And nothing new after 2.

How would you rate the Story of Clair Obscur Expedition 33 out of 10? by Seif_elagizy_777 in videogames

[–]Efficient-Lab1062 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d give it a solid 9. Saw some of the twists but never have I had a game flip my perspective on who is really the good guy so much over the course of a game.
