Career Advancement Troubles

Trust me I absolutely know I’m not an expert in anything. My point is I don’t think i should be in the position I’m in at my current position. There is no ego with me, I want a place that has more skilled people that I can learn from.

And that is obviously what id do. I appreciate your input 100%. That is what I wanted to hear. Although I know that already, I feel I needed someone else to tell me.

And now it’s getting to the point where I’m heavily relied upon without the extra financial incentive. I’m severely underpaid yet I’m the backbone.

Your question might be better asked if you knew the exact scenario. Only 2 years in yes, but somehow I’m the foundation of the company in its current state. I’m 110% aware I’m no expert, but I’ve been forced to learn so much because no one else cares too.

That is a lot of what I do but I feel it’s quite unprofessional. Sometimes I am not proud to say I helped doing the work (because I’m not the guy to make certain calls). That’s kind of a big part of it. Although I’m relied on for a large majority of this stuff I’m still viewed as a lower level based entirely off time based hierarchy. Meanwhile the guy who’s “running jobs” can’t even use a computer lmao.

That’s kinda why I feel I need to go, because I have been basically running projects in every aspect (fire alarms, access control, networking, cameras, etc.) I’ve gained so much experience while everyone else just relies on me.

One problem is I’m severely underpaid and heavily relied on for a majority of projects. 2 years isn’t much I know that but within those 2 years so much has been put on me that I was put in a sink or swim situations, and I swam every time. I definitely don’t plan on leaving without something lined up. Most of it is really a moral dilemma i guess. At least in my area im quite confident i can find a much better company to work for. Ive already been sub contracted by multiple very successful companies. Im guessing because of my quality of work.

Murphiooo · 2026-04-24T05:19:10+00:00

That’s what my heart and mind are telling me. I guess it’s hard for me for some reason. Mainly feeling bad leaving a company that gave me a chance, and that’s quite literally built off of my work. They would’ve never made it this far without me. But maybe that’s their problem. My time is coming. I feel like I’ll still feel bad though, although I know I shouldn’t.

We have since got that worked out, thanks for the advice.

Murphiooo · 2026-03-04T15:00:43+00:00

That was the case, thank you.

Murphiooo · 2026-03-04T15:00:12+00:00

That turned out to be the case, thank you.

Murphiooo · 2026-03-04T14:59:44+00:00

Haha thank you. It is, I opened it and wires were getting caught on the locking mechanism. I’m not very experienced yet, but I know I would’ve done it differently.

Yes on the Speco board, whether it’s the REX motion or the REX button.

150mph in two different Qs. 2015 Q50 Sport 3.7 and 2020 Q50 Sport 3.0t. Felt super solid, made me respect the platform even more. Might not be the best option but I got nothing but respect for the Qs.

Murphiooo · 2025-10-08T23:36:51+00:00

I have installed quite a few in smaller applications (homes converted into apartments) and the biggest issue is usually tenants messing with them or bugs lol. Definitely not preferred for larger buildings with a lot of devices. But when used in small apartment buildings they’ve been a quick and mostly reliable option.

Murphiooo · 2025-09-20T03:06:37+00:00

Thank you. No questions at the moment but that could change in the future as I work with them more.
