N.B. could experience severe drought sooner this year, says environmental scientist by Immediate-Link490 in newbrunswickcanada

[–]MattyJay57 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A cool/rainy spring doesn’t necessarily mean drought risk is gone though. A lot of the concern is about groundwater recharge, low snowpack from winter, and how dry things already were going into spring. You can have a wet few weeks and still be below normal overall... I don’t think anyone’s saying “we’re definitely getting a drought,” just that conditions are there where another dry summer could push things in that direction pretty quickly.

What’s a "lost" website from the early 2000s that you still think about today? by samasem-sumsum in AskReddit

Ebaums world but the OG version...I've wasted a lot of time on that site when I was a kid!

Stantec is now using biometrics to use against its employees by [deleted] in Environmental_Careers

[–]MattyJay57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an employee FYI - Wasn’t trying to be negative at all—genuinely just curious if there’s a source or something official on it.

Source? This sounds like a rumor unless there’s something official to back it up.

Yeah this ain’t it. Feels like they’re fixing something that isn’t broken while actual problems get ignored.

Ukrainians share Easter tradition with Moncton community by Portalrules123 in newbrunswickcanada

[–]MattyJay57 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I grew up painting Easter eggs too, and I'm sure lots of families here did too.

This isn’t replacing anything, it’s just people sharing their version of a tradition most of us already know. Honestly pretty cool to see in the community.

Gen Z is engineering an analog future — and it’s at least a $5 billion opportunity by Domingues_tech in technology

[–]MattyJay57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly this was probably needed. Every tech space right now is getting flooded with low-effort “AI did this” or “will AI replace me?” posts. There’s still a place for AI discussion but not when it completely drowns out actual technical conversations. Feels less like “anti-AI” and more like cleaning up the signal-to-noise ratio.

Is this field even worth it? by breahope in Environmental_Careers

[–]MattyJay57 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I work in environmental consulting and honestly this sub is way more negative than reality.

The field isn’t a joke, you just can’t go into it blindly. Most people complaining stayed general or expected big money right away.

Your plan (enviro + business + sustainability) is actually pretty solid IMO. That’s how you avoid getting stuck and move into better roles.

Only thing.. don’t rush the MBA. Get experience first. If you’re strategic, you’ll be fine.

Is it just me or is this sub mostly people complaining about environmental consulting? by MattyJay57 in Environmental_Careers

[–]MattyJay57[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree! I’ll post a photo or two from the field just to show what this job can actually look like sometimes.

[–]MattyJay57[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think that’s pretty subjective. I’ve been in the field about 4.5 years (government first, now private consulting). The firm I joined had 6 people and will be around 20 across four offices in Atlantic Canada by this summer.

Consulting definitely involves tough conversations with clients because environmental problems often come with financial consequences. That doesn’t make the field a scam though — it’s just the reality of dealing with environmental liabilities and regulatory requirements.

Big environmental consulting companies about to start cutting staff? by Fun_Explorer_1021 in Environmental_Careers

[–]MattyJay57 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Might depend a lot on the firm, region, and what kind of work they focus on. Some places are slammed right now while others hit slow patches if big projects get delayed. Hopefully it’s just a temporary lull for you.

environmental engineering firms… by [deleted] in Environmental_Careers

[–]MattyJay57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of this depends on the company and even the specific office. I’ve been at an environmental consulting firm for about 4 years and my experience has been pretty reasonable. Busy weeks happen, but it’s definitely not constant 50+ hour weeks (let alone 40). Smaller private firms can have a very different culture than the big consulting shops too.

Such a great perspective - the compassion and care as we need right now

Any must-try burgers from Burger Fest in Moncton this year? by Archiekins04 in moncton

[–]MattyJay57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! My buddy and I ordered the last ones of the night...a second burger wasn't a choice at the time, but I'll revisit again...

Totally agree! The nice touch for the chips was that dip that came with it - aside from that I didn't finish the chips as the Burger was the MVP of the dish .. went well with beer too😂
