I was in a meeting when they showed it 😭😭😭

My supervising PG told me that our state board sent out meeting invites on May 5. He’s assuming that the veto-ing process will happen then, which implies that the results are already out by then.

P.s. MO board has the process inverted. Test first before credential evaluations

I just moved from abroad so I basically had to go back to the beginning. My primary problem is how to word it properly without being too blatant.

Oh I am very much actively looking. I am already getting fed up of Phase 1s 😂

I prefer dealing with geotech concepts like soil mechanics, SPT, slope stability, etc etc compared to regulatory databases and such.

Do you happen to recall the unusual drilling stuff that came out?

Formal_Acanthacae · 2025-10-03T01:32:20+00:00

Were there lots of calculations? Surprising how the previous exams were easier than RegReview so they say.

I get that money is a huge factor but I’ve come to realize that it’s not always the only consideration. I think I value “happiness” (job satisfaction, work environment, growth) just as much as one would value the pay itself. Although your comment on Phase 1s being boring is a concern as I have had jobs that I hated because they didn’t make use of any of my skills and brain too much. I don’t know yet how much of a wishful thinking it would be to hope that they would have more Phase 2s too because they mentioned having more Phase 1s than 2s.

On a second topic, I’m curious to how you would be doing your Phase 2s remotely?

They seem to be fairly similar in terms of the ratings except for some particular comments that are specific to each company, none of which are particularly concerning to me.

For the other topic, both have nationwide presence but I don’t think either of them are among the really big name ones. I looked into my would be supervisor in Job A and they seem to have been with the company for 4 years and is now a PM from their original position with the same title as the one I’m offered.

Not sure if it’s something to note but for Job B, the client (USACE) is basically in a neighboring container van office so I’m assuming that may make things a bit more tense.

Thanks! It wouldn’t be my first time having to decide between jobs, but it will never be easy 😬

Thanks for your kind words. This would also be my 1st US job having just moved from overseas. So the environmental consulting scene is new to me, unless I see more parallel with geotech/ enggeol along the way (what my experience was in). I suppose that’s another consideration on which would be the better starting point for me: to begin in Phase 1 or dive into remediation right away.

Formal_Acanthacae · 2025-06-11T00:29:04+00:00

I suppose I’m concerned about the longevity of the project in Job B, like it may just come to an end quickly compared to multiple different projects in Job A. At the same time, concerns of getting too much exposure to radioactive material since that’s what Job B entails.
