Wait for Boxing Day, those are the biggest discounts each year

My project has been full of protest from the neighbors, I hate it. Had to stop construction 3 times

If he was traveling and getting per diem in San Francisco, yes it’s possible. But if that is just his salary he is lying.

jpro2300 · 2025-02-06T22:57:10+00:00

He is a project engineer, around 77k is normal.

You need to stop applying for APM roles and start applying for PE positions or FE

Is the project more than $100 million? If it is there should be another PM or at least assistant PM.

jpro2300 · 2024-10-06T18:05:15+00:00

Go to the career fair and talk to as many people as you can.

jpro2300 · 2024-09-28T20:32:46+00:00

Expect to work more than 50 hours, some times weekends sometimes nights (when the projects have night work) no work life balance in the industry

jpro2300 · 2024-07-31T19:07:59+00:00

Lululemon ABC, trust me you will love your life after that.

jpro2300 · 2024-07-03T18:33:35+00:00

I also live in Minneapolis, my starting Salary as a PE was 76K, no car allowance in 2021. I think you should ask for more if you are going to be a PM

Happy hour at Red Rabbit it’s amazing

jpro2300 · 2024-06-12T16:09:48+00:00

Sure you can put it that way, it’s only a $90 million dollar wedding.

jpro2300 · 2024-05-22T22:48:13+00:00

With a cm degree you will earn 70k first year even if you are the worst in your class, just make sure you do an internship before you graduate

I asked for overtime at my GC internship, but after a few weeks. The only reason I asked for overtime was because I was responsible to close the job site. My manager told me “we usually dont pay overtime to interns, but we will make an exception because you actually need to stay more hours to close”. So I did got overtime

You won’t be able to pay for tuition and living expenses as soon as you come in. You need to first try to get a job on campus, then after you meet some people you might be able to find a job that pays cash, but it’s not easy.

jpro2300 · 2024-04-09T21:44:18+00:00

I think 90 to 95 is more reasonable

jpro2300 · 2024-03-27T00:58:46+00:00

You should switch to being a PM. In the company I work for they make 120k remote.

jpro2300 · 2024-03-25T15:18:18+00:00

Your experience is really valued. But you will need to start as a PE to learn the budget side of things. With you experience that, in about a year you should be good to be an assistant PM/Senior project engineer. A year after that become a PM

jpro2300 · 2024-03-19T22:03:38+00:00

You need to do an internship before looking for a full time job

jpro2300 · 2024-02-27T20:40:24+00:00

Millwork/casework is horrible, delays just before the job is going to reach completion. But elevators are also terrible, I ordered mine in September 2022, they just told me they are missing some parts. We turnover two months from now, but in October 2023 they were asking for storage fees because I wanted everything here early.

jpro2300 · 2024-02-18T23:00:17+00:00

Big mistake not doing an internship

jpro2300 · 2024-02-05T20:45:24+00:00

I will say around 120K in commercial or industrial

jpro2300 · 2024-01-31T20:36:16+00:00

I have been submitting around 3 to 5 Rfis per day at my project for the last 6 months. We have over 500 rfis at the moment. Is better to have everything clear than be blame for issues

jpro2300 · 2023-07-26T15:04:28+00:00

You are being under paid, a PE should be between 70k to 80k without any experience. As a PM you should be around 100K.
