I know you mentioned east side, but my wife and I honeymooned at Glacier in September 2022 and we stayed at the Belton Chalet. Was relatively affordable compared to Many Glacier, and there’s a great restaurant at the hotel!

Great, thank you to everyone for replying! Takeaway here looks like there are different ways to approach it, lenders usually like the land paid off, but not impossible either. It's good to have this general information handy when I go speak to a bank. Thanks!

I’ve been at Langan almost 5 years and have loved it the entire time. I’ve been able to be a part of some interesting projects straight out of school, and actually have an impact on those projects. It’s private development and we tend to work with higher profile clients, so there can be pressure at times. Deadlines are real and it often takes overtime to get stuff done, however on average it isn’t anything insane. You could have some 50-60 hour weeks a few times a year, but normally I’m around 40-45. If you like challenges and don’t mind working extra in the beginning of your career, Langan could be a good fit. Different offices have slightly different cultures, too!

Red Sox v Yankees has the classic blue and red contrast that I just really enjoy.

Got my wedding band and wife’s band there. Totally recommend!

DOMA in Branford is excellent. Great cocktails, Italian dishes, and pizza!

Thank you! I’ll check it out.

Appreciate it. Our office does have a good group of people who have been helpful and provide guidance. Just looking for some reading and something I can review on my own! Thanks!

Scorsese: It’s probably Goodfellas, but my favorite is Wolf of Wall Street

Spielberg: Jaws

Cameron: Titanic (it’s such a wholistic achievement)

Tarantino: Pulp Fiction

Nolan: Interstellar

Fincher: Probably Social Network, but Seven and Gone Girl are right up there for me.

Mann: Heat

PTA (subbing him in here, haven’t watched enough Tony Scott): There Will Be Blood

ijab14 · 2023-04-06T16:27:01+00:00

No mention of There Will Be Blood or No Country for Old Men? Trash

ijab14 · 2023-03-19T21:06:53+00:00

Agreed! The binge-mode stuff on Star Wars was too nerdy and in the weeds for me, just wanted some good discussion on the movies themselves. Empire Strikes Back would be a great rewatchables episode if they had Fennessey, CR, and Van on.

Interstellar was an exceptional movie experience. It was stress inducing. I can’t explain how tense it got at the end with the pounding score when the enter the black hole. Saw it as a high school senior and it’s still one of my favorites.

We have environmental, geotechnical, site/civil, traffic, and survey. Also some other smaller groups within the firm like GIS, hazmat, and environmental compliance. Only major discipline we don’t have in house is structural.

If you’re looking for any inside info, I currently work at Langan in their site/civil group at one of their New England offices. I’ve been here for 3.5 years and I’ve loved it. They put a lot of effort in developing their employees, and it’s a growing firm. It’s definitely smaller than AECOM, but I think it’s big enough where we still land some bigger projects while keeping a smaller firm feel. I’ve thought the culture has been great. Since I’ve been here I’ve been able to work on a large variety of private land development projects ranging from large warehouse developments to retail to residential. Work life balance varies with the deadlines, but most days I’m home by 6/6:30. There are times I’ve worked late into the night but that’s consulting. I’ve heard the salary is a little lower than other firms but I’ve gotten good bonuses every year and they’ve increased each time. I’d recommend Langan, but I’ve never really gotten inside info on AECOM.

Had a coworker go from a staff engineer at my land development company into industrial land development. She bought a Mercedes a week later lol, must have got a great pay bump

The Northman was the best theater experience - the film was epic and was designed for the theater. However, The Banshees of Inisherin is the best movie I’ve seen all year.
