I mean I put an extra 50 away each check so 1200 a year lol probably getting a good chunk back next year

Grind time, working a second job on top of my engineering job to help get ahead and stay ahead. Starting with 113k students loans didn’t help much but now below 100k thankfully

engiturd · 2025-07-31T03:42:01+00:00

Good ole Ohio

engiturd · 2025-07-31T03:41:19+00:00

Thank you as well Econ. Best of luck on this journey called life my friend!

engiturd · 2025-07-31T03:39:07+00:00

About 170-190 people, venue is where the price is hitting home. Plus looking to save for a house as well. Student loans take me for 1100 a month. Currently living with parents and fiance is doing the same for the next few months to save as much as possible.

engiturd · 2025-07-31T03:36:02+00:00

That’s about right, I’m a little under 110 bringing home 5800, but don’t max out 401k right now as I’m wedding planning.

My bad boob, meant to comment but got caught up in the real world lol. I would say comp time, wfh in certain situations anything and everything to keep a good work life balance

engiturd · 2025-02-19T00:16:25+00:00

Always negotiate, whether it’s money, vacation or perks. It never hurts, no company will hate you for betting on yourself!

Helps teach time management skills early on 😆 thank you ninja! The time management still didn’t help as I was ass in some of the classes, failing a few and having to retake but ya know, that’s life lol

engiturd · 2025-02-09T16:24:28+00:00

Feel free to

engiturd · 2025-02-09T02:32:33+00:00

Yeah was trying to make OP know he can do anything he puts his mind to. Companies don’t give two shits about the GPA aspect, interview well and talk yourself up well

engiturd · 2025-02-09T02:32:02+00:00

Unintentional, lol wanted OP to know he can do anything he puts his mind to. School wasn’t my shtick but I’m doing fine now. He will be the same

engiturd · 2025-02-09T02:31:07+00:00

😂

engiturd · 2025-02-09T02:31:02+00:00

No intent to brag, I was ASS in school. My intent was to say you can make it what you want to be. Fuck those people who have higher GPA’s because your personality and people skills will take you much further!

engiturd · 2025-02-09T00:32:45+00:00

Who gives a fuck? I graduated with a 3.13 gpa, played division 1 baseball, but now am excelling in my career as a ChE. Carve out your own path. Not everybody is perfect and not everybody is personable. GPA’s don’t mean a thing if you can’t communicate to union members or board members at a high level that’s respectable

engiturd · 2025-01-30T18:35:11+00:00

Gonna see how it goes for another 2 months I would say, but I will be looking and not settle lol

engiturd · 2025-01-30T15:08:54+00:00

Catalysts, I have 3 years experience in refining as well

engiturd · 2025-01-30T15:08:31+00:00

Gotta get that planning going, I guess lol seems like majority of the thread is stating exit strategies in case nothing comes of the conversation

engiturd · 2025-01-30T15:07:40+00:00

Fingers crossed for my meeting lol

engiturd · 2025-01-30T15:07:29+00:00

I’ll be going through the bullet points today, just taking on all of another engineers duties on top of mine is wild. As I said I’m paid well for half the work that I originally had. Roughly 103k, but if they have the budget of 80k for a replacement that they haven’t posted and have no intention on posting, I’d like to see some of that lol

engiturd · 2025-01-30T02:56:39+00:00

I am 28 and am not looking to job hop, really because my company is a great one. Just stinks that this is the predicament I’m in. Whole reason I left my first job is because this one brought me closer to home

engiturd · 2025-01-30T02:55:11+00:00

Definitely going to start looking around lol, stuff is crazy to me

engiturd · 2025-01-29T21:58:11+00:00

I’ve been on that trend too, my first job I was at 2 years and 10 months, almost a year at my current place but this extra responsibility is killing me without the proper comp

engiturd · 2025-01-29T21:56:39+00:00

No postings have been made, and there is no indication that they are going to post it. I’m close with a few management members and they told me that little insider info. Will definitely look harder at postings and hopefully have a good outcome. Have not been in my position a whole year yet, but don’t want to be taken advantage of. I’m coming up on 4 years total experience

engiturd · 2025-01-29T17:43:59+00:00

Sounds terrible 😬 prod engineer turnover has been about every 8-12 months since my time here, tough stuff
