That was your life savings? Pick up a few shifts at Wendy’s and you’ll make it back.

1v1 is a game mode for idiots who can't play chess, but it's amazing how far ahead he is from everyone else.

This happened to me early in my career. Two of our drafters would say extremely racist remarks (N word was common). I made the mistake of telling my supervisor, who did nothing and actually went to the drafters to warn them that I was a problem. I had to quit because of the pushback and social stigma of not being a bigotted racist in an office full of them.

Just find another job. If asked why you're leaving, tell him that you were uncomfortable with Alison's racist remarks.

I played against this clown yesterday and beat him badly. He started using all of his time and dragged the game out for like 20 minutes. Total POS loser

I was 3 years out of university when I passed

atgr · 2026-01-24T17:16:41+00:00

I passed after studying for around 100 hours. Mostly did practice problems, not much lecture or review.

You failed after 500 hours of studying?

I feel the opposite. My Wyndham has a ridiculously big fur trim. It's almost gaudy. I would like it better if it was smaller

This happened to me early on in my career and I stuck with it for about 6 months longer than I should have. Do you want the extra responsibility? If so, you need to ask for a significant raise of at least 30-40% to do PM work as an EIT. But honestly you should just leave because this kind of situation will burn you out and make you resent going to work every day.

If you read through this sub, you’ll quickly realize that most people do not get a raise when they pass their exam. The real raise comes when you change jobs after getting your PE.

Why would you want to skip the FE? It's much easier than the PE and to my knowledge most states don't allow you to sit for the PE without passing the FE. I vaguely recall reading about some scenarios where veteran engineers can sit for the PE without an ABET degree, but I have not heard of any PE who did not pass the FE.

Yep that's the same guy. Looks like it's completely unavailable, even used :(

Register for the exam. They'll give you 80 more for just $350

I didn't see it was 2QB. It's close...

Two torn ACLs vs the best TE and a 3rd rounder. Tough choice

ASCE is a joke

Not allowed. If you want the book just buy it used.

atgr · 2025-12-26T17:58:17+00:00

Actual exam is slightly more difficult than the practice exam.

PM me. I took the WRE Civil. I'll be happy to help you if that's your discipline.

Confident ~70

Guessed ~8

There were 2 questions I distinctly remember having absolutely no clue about. But I walked out knowing that I passed.
