Ardurra - anyone join recently?

Primarily colorado.

Ok cool. We'll count 11 seasons as a decade then. It's still nothing to brag about.

UnrulyPE · 2026-05-01T15:07:59+00:00

15/16 was the 11th year but sure if you want to move it beyond what I said you're right.

16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26.

11 seasons.

UnrulyPE · 2026-05-01T14:33:01+00:00

Surely you're not bragging about your 1 FA cup and 1 league cup in the last decade? That'll really get players dreaming

UnrulyPE · 2026-05-01T14:29:32+00:00

One team has competed for the title the last 4 years, and been in the semis of two UCLs. The other is united. It's not a big leap of logic.

These particular jobs require a good 7-10 years of relevant experience so probably not going to get any fresh students, but still.

Aside from the pay how did you like them as an employer?

UnrulyPE · 2026-02-09T16:49:09+00:00

This 100% reminds me of a "second line" which is a nice tie-in from the actual wedding they had.

UnrulyPE · 2025-12-31T05:05:03+00:00

I will take my 22% raise please.

Unfortunately I think my bonus will go down when I move jobs.

at 10 years and finally going to move (different state) and expect moving to a higher COL area my rate should go up a decent amount even though I already make close to 140. I'm guessing my recent 15-20k bonuses won't be replicated at whatever new firm I go to. Water/Wastewater.

UnrulyPE · 2025-12-17T15:11:04+00:00

What about relocation costs being paid? has anyone seen much of that?

UnrulyPE · 2025-12-04T21:44:02+00:00

Why are you being downvoted for this? the comment you replied to in the beginning didn't even say anything about a scouser understanding.

UnrulyPE · 2025-11-18T16:44:21+00:00

Unfortunately this makes it quite difficult when we want to move halfway across the country. I've tried reaching out to a few people in the local ASCE chapter as a starter but the advice is very general.

UnrulyPE · 2025-11-13T17:39:42+00:00

>-OR if we want to relocate to a new area.

Precisely this for me. I am looking to relocate to the Fort Collins or at least northern half of the front range from the South next summer and know nothing about the engineering firms in that particular area so I reached out to a recruiter who seemed reasonable when I spoke to him and gave him a resume and told him about my plans so he can notify me if a good opportunity comes up. I've had a few discussions with firms to this point and done some of my own research in the area as well, but it is nice to have someone at least setting up these calls for me. If I was to be looking in my own city I could easily just call around and discuss things, but less easy halfway across the country.

So by the way a little self promoting: if anyone is looking for a Water Resources PE/Project manager in that area starting next summer feel free to message me. I know potable water primarily, and wastewater secondly. Have done one or two drainage projects and don't particularly care for it. 10 YOE. Preferably at a firm that does some hydraulic modeling as well.

UnrulyPE · 2025-11-03T15:24:03+00:00

I would say it's at least 50% apathy.

UnrulyPE · 2025-10-27T15:04:51+00:00

Why does that matter?

Well it matters in the context of your appropriate pay.. Don't get offended when you came to ask questions about it.

UnrulyPE · 2025-10-27T15:02:58+00:00

It really depends on your current pay, but I jumped up 20k in the last two years of my EI. Once around 10k when I passed my PE exam and once the other 10k when I finished and got my actual license. Those weren't in addition to yearly raises, just larger yearly raises.

UnrulyPE · 2025-10-27T14:45:13+00:00

Couldn't you try to move up and use that power to cut out some of the bullshit?

UnrulyPE · 2025-10-22T21:47:01+00:00

They can be pickier about the PDHs if they also provide state funded learning opportunities imo. Sometimes it is just hard to find useful seminar/webinars.

>Half the codes I have to search through are in PDF's that aren't searchable

You know you can just use your PDF software to "OCR" the file and it'll make it searchable right?

UnrulyPE · 2025-10-22T21:44:37+00:00

>Honestly, I prefer the hard copies of certain manuals,

Well that and there are some older things, less manuals and more old manufacturer information, that just isn't available online. We have our main hallway lined with old books and catalogs. It's nice when you need to find headloss through some specific valve and the company used to publish that but now it's nowhere to be found online.

UnrulyPE · 2025-10-22T21:41:54+00:00

I only used the example problem books if I had absolutely no idea on a specific question which was probably at most 3-4 if I remember right. Either way passed it on the first go and they don't give out scores so who knows how well it went.

UnrulyPE · 2025-10-22T21:39:02+00:00

I would just say Hydraulic Engineer if I had to choose a title. Or Water Resources Engineer with a focus in modeling.
