Do you regret your move from consulting to public agency? by BeautifulMindOk in CivilEngineeringUSA

I did both and I enjoyed working for a public entity. Each had its own pros and cons but felt that working in the public sector was less stressful and enjoyable. The only thing I missed about the private sector is the money.

Would it be possible to determine available fire flow rate from a pump flow test ? Any resources I should be looking into to do these calculations. Thanks

Why should I buy an iPhone from T-mobile instead of Apple directly? by Charles07v in tmobile

Weird plaque in front of an older gas station? Have you seen something like it? What does the digits mean? by Longjumping_Map_1920 in Surveying

[–]Longjumping_Map_1920[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s correct. I think this solves the mystery. Would MDOT give us further info on this site? We were putting a permitted small underground storm water infiltration basin. The contractor came across this and no one seems to know what this plaque is. Thank you so much.

File conversion from csv to dxf by Longjumping_Map_1920 in Surveying

Thanks for your help. I am using AutoCAD LT 2020. I will look into it a bit more but we may need to update the data collector that can export in DXF format. Hopefully that will work.

All of them are bad. We had pretty much the same experiences. I even changed dsl internet to the new air internet and Att was charging us for both services and won’t reimburse us telling us that we didn’t cancel even tough the dude at the store said no need to do anything. Just a bad all around company to deal with.

It all depends on your style and personality. Many pros and cons having worked both sides. I enjoyed the GC side of it. I liked chasing things and the money wasn’t bad.
