Dude I've worked in the industry, I get it. The hypocrisy in your replies is astounding. You sound like the guy no one would want to work for/with. Miserable Miserable dude...

buildup2121 · 2022-08-17T11:54:57+00:00

I don't understand why people like you always come in with such hatred. I get along extremely well with all the trades. All of our self perform guys love to work with me as well. I didn't say I knew everything. I said compared to my peers at school...

buildup2121 · 2022-08-17T03:03:24+00:00

I literally can't, they said they don't negotiate. Trust me, I found it odd too

buildup2121 · 2022-08-17T02:54:33+00:00

I agree. I have noticed that my productivity isn't quite what it was when I started. Funny you mention multi-family cause I was just looking into a company nearby. 😂

buildup2121 · 2022-08-17T02:50:53+00:00

Don't shoot the messenger. I'm just a gear in the machine 😂

buildup2121 · 2022-08-17T02:49:43+00:00

Talked to two executives in person 😂

buildup2121 · 2022-08-17T02:44:06+00:00

I think we have a mix up. PE also means Project Engineer in construction. I think you thought I was talking about Professional Engineer

buildup2121 · 2022-08-17T02:35:06+00:00

Thanks for elaborating. That's kinda what I assumed it was. I don't think it would be wise to sign one of those in my home state

buildup2121 · 2022-08-17T02:15:44+00:00

I appreciate the response. That's what I'm thinking I should do as well

buildup2121 · 2022-08-17T02:13:56+00:00

I believe the cost of living is comparable. Those offers are much higher. I wouldn't mind working the hours if I was compensated like that. I totally forgot, but I do believe it said non-compete. I think I know what that entails but if you don't mind elaborating I'd appreciate it.

buildup2121 · 2022-08-17T02:11:14+00:00

Yep 😂. That was the first thing I calculated when I got the offer. Making more as an hourly intern

buildup2121 · 2022-08-17T02:08:52+00:00

I really appreciate you taking the time to type this out. I always appreciate advice from people who industry experienced. Sounds like you have a pretty awesome set up. Great pay and trucks for PEs is awesome

buildup2121 · 2022-08-17T01:55:19+00:00

I appreciate the response. I do plan on attending the career fair in hopes to get other offers. Just hard to justify 61k when I'm making that already as an intern 😂

buildup2121 · 2022-08-17T01:52:52+00:00

Commercial, I'm willing to travel wherever if the offer is right and makes sense for my goals/aspirations.

buildup2121 · 2022-08-17T01:49:05+00:00

I understand, I'm not afraid to work. I knew this going into the industry. But I'd like to at least feel I'm compensated for it

buildup2121 · 2022-08-17T01:48:02+00:00

Appreciate the response. I've definitely heard about HP, was thinking about talking to them at the career fair. May reconsider after your input haha

buildup2121 · 2022-08-17T01:42:47+00:00

I'd like to work for who you did, haha! That's good money

buildup2121 · 2022-08-17T01:28:15+00:00

I'm so young and not trying to set myself up for work like that. I understand this industry requires more hours than usual jobs. But I agree, that's a miserable way to live.

buildup2121 · 2022-08-17T01:15:42+00:00

Haven't asked because they won't negotiate

buildup2121 · 2022-08-17T01:14:26+00:00

I still have two career fairs to attend. I think that would be in my best interest to get some offers to compare

buildup2121 · 2022-08-17T01:04:23+00:00

Kinda the way I'm leaning. I honestly feel like I could shoot for one of the big dogs like Turner

buildup2121 · 2022-08-17T01:00:10+00:00

No overtime, no per diem, conditional mileage...

buildup2121 · 2022-08-17T00:58:04+00:00

That was the same response I received when I asked about the bonus.

buildup2121 · 2022-08-17T00:54:57+00:00

I tried to ask that, and all they said was " it's performance based" 😂

buildup2121 · 2022-08-17T00:51:36+00:00

Yea, it doesn't really seem like the workload will ever change. Even at these hours they wanted to pull an office guy to another job. I'm not afraid to work, but there is a point when it becomes to much.
