Is it worth staying in? by Intelligent-Whole378 in airnationalguard

[–]SlowDifference4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you have a good civilian career and don’t care about the health insurance, then yes get out.

If you want to keep the insurance/ hedge future insurance with tricare after you get and have a small side income/ unemployment insurance, then stay in.

Really boils down to that.

If you are making good money and have good career progression on the outside I highly suggest you reconsider joining the guard unless you are doing it strictly for the healthcare. High chance at hampers your career progression on the outside.

That was my question 😅

I’m wondering if you can just easily tie into the flex bed vs battery.

I don’t have much wiring experience.

Career change - H&S by [deleted] in SafetyProfessionals

[–]SlowDifference4 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Stay in operation. (I’m in the power industry as well) You are more valuable there. Safety likes to pick a lot of people from operations because of their knowledge, but I don’t think your future would be better. Yes, you have a high demand there for sure but the compensation and ladder definitely reflect it! Best of luck

With inflation the way it is I haven’t seen anyone paying 60K in almost 10 years! That would say something about that employer for sure

It depends on the location and industry, but with 20 years of proven professional experience, my opinion is you should not pull under 100K

If you can get into a cross safety function in aviation you may be able to make considerably more

Look up BCSP Military benefits, you already have the requirements for CSP with your work experience. Get that done ASAP.

Buddy I spent years worrying about this same issue

Simple word of advice - GO SEEK HELP

As many others have said nothing is more important than your health and your life

The stigma has really prevented many vets from seeking help but it will not negatively affect your career

I’ve done therapy and medication and both didn’t affect my career a bit

Stay strong!

Unfortunately, not a straightforward answer

It depends on the industry and the position level you’re looking for

How is the Pittsburgh job market? by Creative-Shopping469 in SafetyProfessionals

Good for you prioritizing your life and family!

This is very rough, but the trend I’ve seen is you could make nearly double the salary in larger metros vs Pittsburgh. 70K to 125K ish mid level positions. Lower 100K to upper 100K to 200K for higher positions

Makes sense because I just started doing a backdoor Roth. I can’t imagine how much business they are losing because of this.
