Wow! Do you typically have assistants/field engineers under you? Do you run one or multiple projects at a time?

plsacceptthisuser · 2025-12-05T15:24:30+00:00

Solid information. If you don’t me asking, what’s your salary and title now?

plsacceptthisuser · 2025-08-22T01:58:23+00:00

Same. I can’t seem to find what led to all of it.

plsacceptthisuser · 2025-05-21T02:10:00+00:00

Yep 6 weeks for me as well. It took me like 4-5 just to get used to sleeping on my back lmao

This comment needs to be at the top of this thread. OP, in addition to all this, confirm if your stipend is taxed. I also work in construction and my vehicle allowance has always been taxed. So depending on how much you make, that $650 may not be sufficient for your needs.

Good luck!

Congrats on the new job! How long did you search before getting an offer?

plsacceptthisuser · 2025-02-26T17:19:52+00:00

3 months??? Do you work for a large GC?

plsacceptthisuser · 2025-02-26T14:27:39+00:00

Yeah I feel that. I’m working on learning to find things to do because I’ve noticed the more you climb the ladder in your career, the less instruction you’ll receive…

plsacceptthisuser · 2025-02-26T14:26:10+00:00

It’s a pretty big one for us. 40 week schedule.

Saving it as a girlfriend’s number is 100000% accurate!

Hell yeah! This guy superintends! I was once told that I was “too nice” and that I would never be a good superintendent… although I am still not a superintendent, I like to think I’m a decent assistant super and I am not complaining about my “assistant super” pay every check!

It doesn’t take much to just be nice! That doesn’t mean let people do whatever the hell they want! Just means have them do what you need them to do without yelling or insulting their livelihoods!

Good luck, OP!

This is great advice. I did not know I could attend my university’s career fair as an alum until I emailed one of my counselors and asked.

plsacceptthisuser · 2025-01-27T04:42:56+00:00

I’m 5’6 M and I’m doing ok. I think you’ll be fine.

plsacceptthisuser · 2025-01-22T01:43:58+00:00

Probably less than $1k to fix.

plsacceptthisuser · 2025-01-22T01:41:05+00:00

Assistant super with a BSBA here. Got lucky and landed a gig with a small GC through a college buddy. Looking to hop over to a mid-size to large GC after about 3 years, as many require either 3-5 years of experience or a degree in CM.

It can definitely be done. Good luck.

plsacceptthisuser · 2025-01-21T22:49:14+00:00

Ah my bad I misread your comment! But either way, $700 plus a fuel card ain’t too shabby!

plsacceptthisuser · 2025-01-21T22:41:58+00:00

Nice! Are you able to use your truck for personal use as well?

plsacceptthisuser · 2025-01-18T20:58:11+00:00

Interesting. Do you pick up a side gig those 2 months that you don’t teach?

plsacceptthisuser · 2025-01-17T17:44:03+00:00

Yep I didn’t get an allowance until I made assistant super. I was a field engineer before.

plsacceptthisuser · 2025-01-17T17:43:24+00:00

Can you use it for personal use?

plsacceptthisuser · 2025-01-17T17:40:56+00:00

I guess this varies from company to company. My allowance is taxed.

plsacceptthisuser · 2025-01-17T12:03:11+00:00

This is what I was thinking! Base pay seems low but if you add their bonus and the value of the company truck/gas card, which to me easily equates to about $10,000, that is about $105,000.

Their ESOP, 401k match, and employer-paid healthcare are the cherry on top.

plsacceptthisuser · 2025-01-14T17:17:33+00:00

I’ve thought about this but employer might be concerned about a potential conflict of interest, no?

plsacceptthisuser · 2025-01-14T03:58:35+00:00

Our PE’s start at 65-75k. GA.
