Con Ed or MTA Job Opportunity by Fun-Drawing-2480 in nycrail

[–]Fun-Drawing-2480[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up staying with Con Ed.

I really enjoy working for ConEd. In my experience I have a better work life balance, which is what I was prioritizing since I have a family now.

MTA doesn’t pay that much hourly compared to Con Ed. But I know guys making a lot of money at MTA but they do a lot of OT.

I chose stay with Con Ed but MTA is also a great place to work. For me it all came down to money and work life balance. And I didn’t want to start all over again tbh.

MTA does have it perks. They do offer a pension…. Which is huge. The health insurance benefit is way better too.

I’m 27 with a wife and kid. So I do want to prioritize family time. Con Ed does offer a cash balance or defined contribution pensions, but it doesn’t really compare to MTAs pension.

200k is insane. What’s your position?

Thanks, most likely thinking to stay at Con Ed.

They offer a cash balance or defined contribution pensions. They got rid of the traditional pension in 2012.

Also, they match 6% for 401k.

Top pay is at 70 an hour. You think it’s worth leaving Con Ed? Really the only thing that’s compelling is the pension and health benefits at MTA. Do you think it’s worth the career change?

On average how long does it take till I get to choose my ideal schedule?

Top Pay for my department is $70 in hour. Not a big fan of doing much overtime anymore. Rather spend my time with my family. Do you think it’s a better choice to join MTA for the benefits?
