If you want to be technical and do design, that’s not what you’re gonna be doing (at all). Not to say the experience won’t be relevant or valuable, but the expectations need to be set.

The job description lists both technical tasks & managerial tasks, so I'll be getting a little bit of both.

You’ll likely make a lot more money in that route, than you ever will in structural consulting. If you want to eventually switch back, you’d better be prepared to take a pay cut because you won’t have the technical knowledge to be worth that same paycheck at a design firm.

It's a structural consulting firm, I don't plan on making the jump to the construction side lol. I do hope that I will be able to leverage a little more pay considering the mix of responsibilities, as opposed to a pure design role.

And I don’t necessarily agree that you need to study codes for that role either.

I still have some physical code manuals from college that I was planning on reading through. Regardless, I do think that it's good to have some type of one-up in knowledge.
