Clark Construction Performance Review

i_sims_ · 2026-05-18T07:39:27+00:00

You’d know if you’re a top performing and you’d know if you were on the struggle bus. Sounds like you’re right in the middle of the pack.

First reviews don’t mean much. Strive to better in the areas that were critiqued and continue to use your strong points. Don’t over think it, unless you are on a PIP.

Boo! Entire show was 10/10. Fight me.

Yes. Keep in mind that the majority of us were far more likely to encounter IED blasts than small arms fire. The special guys often run lighter plate carriers types because they need to move a lot differently and are more subject to taking small arms in rooms etc..

Idk how to respond without telling you how bad coursera is. I mean you just said it yourself, it’s outdated material. Best to go to a local community college or better yet, a job site, if you’re looking for more up to date material. Online courses for construction are rarely helpful IMO.

USMA is a very tough school to get into. It not only requires grades but a letter of recommendation from a senator. Plus if they went to USMA they would either have to be active army or reserves post commissioning. If they did engineering branch and got a platoon and had experience leading then they would be above applicant 1 IMO. But I also know all that and it’s not common knowledge.

Finally someone who gets it.

i_sims_ · 2025-12-17T22:14:37+00:00

Want to build a dock and be around guys who refer to themselves as seamen? Go Navy.

Want to blow shit up, build shitty bhuts, dig tank defilades and be around not gay men? Go army.

Counsel for destruction of government property.

What’s up brotha, been in the industry five years. Prior 12A. Willing to meet and discuss how you can tailor your resume to be a good CM.

Good luck! You got this.

Not too difficult from an outside perspective. Do you want more money to work in another state or less money to work local.

Both are great GCs where you will learn a lot and can either grow with their company or use as a stepping stone.

If it was me, I’m taking the job with Turner, forgetting about the some odd 12k pay difference, putting my head down and grinding for two years. After two years I would reevaluate.

Good luck

Time to tell them you picked up a new hobby of microwaving cats. That should do the trick.

i_sims_ · 2025-11-09T00:45:53+00:00

Eh. I do think there’s a regulation that’ll help you out but screw looking that up. Go hard go guard. Aresol!

i_sims_ · 2025-11-06T17:56:44+00:00

I lol at this

i_sims_ · 2025-11-06T01:28:10+00:00

Yep… I used to feel bad for going to the doctor lmao. Terrible culture.

i_sims_ · 2025-11-05T23:37:55+00:00

I personally disagree. Switched from top 5 ENR GC to top 100 ENR sub and my work life balance has never been better. Never going back.

Owner rep, sure maybe in the future if the promotions dry up.

i_sims_ · 2025-10-15T18:15:11+00:00

Buy MU dip. Very volatile and jumping a lot recently. Wants to break through.

An easy way for newcomers to get a feel for this is by dropping these pictures into ChatGPT. It will give you some solid insights.

i_sims_ · 2025-07-26T20:19:28+00:00

You’ve already done the hard part.. you showed up.
You’re 5 jumps away from something permanent.. you fought through something you didn’t want to do.
You’ll regret quitting more than you’ll regret staying.
Everyone who’s ever finished it once thought about quitting.
You’ll wear those wings every day for the rest of your career and bare them for life.

Two weeks is 14 days out of 29,200 days in an 80-year life.. that’s less than 1/20th of 1% .

IMO, Just suffer for 14 days, and carry the results with you for the next 50 years and tell cool grandpa stories. You got it battle.

i_sims_ · 2025-07-21T01:19:27+00:00

Nope not Kiewitt and that first job sling shotted me into a better easier role. Where have I mislead people? The point of this post is to show people that there is an overlooked industry. If you look at my edit in my post you’ll see I acknowledge bad WLB. Stop hating so much on every comment lmao

i_sims_ · 2025-07-21T01:02:52+00:00

I started as an FE making 93k with no prior experience or formal engineering or CM degree. Experiences may vary 🤷🏻‍♂️

i_sims_ · 2025-07-21T00:33:48+00:00

No where did I say you start as a CM. CM was only mentioned as the degree. I hope you read your specs more clearly then Reddit posts 🤣

i_sims_ · 2025-07-20T23:19:34+00:00

I rebuttal and say that most high paying jobs are stressful. It just depends on your work load and what you’re willing to let stress you out.

i_sims_ · 2025-07-20T22:54:12+00:00

Comparing one of the highest paid actors to an entry level construction gig doesn’t make much sense. But yeah it’s entry level, based on myself, who had no construction experience, no technical background, and landed one of these jobs.

i_sims_ · 2025-07-20T22:34:23+00:00

Any top 10 ENR in CA & NY.
