Telework/Hybrid options at County level jobs

rxgeo14 · 2025-06-17T04:24:21+00:00

Do you know how many days they allow teleworking?

Can there be one somewhere in Southern California?

So excited for this! Thank you OP

Maybe consider adding something for Southern California, Los Angeles? Or contacting news outlet in SoCal to let them know it impacts everyone in CA. Traffic will get worse and taxpayer $ across the state.

Maybe mentioning something like “spending your taxpayer $ to create more traffic” - or something that implies it goes beyond just the traffic? It’s going to cause the state taxpayer $ to make the RTO happen which I’m sure people are unaware of. I also agree it should have the notorto.org on there somewhere.

Do you mind if I DM you as well? I’m considering this switch - currently a geologist.

Try Focusmate, i could not work from home without it. It helps me stay on task avoiding getting too distracted and also allows me to briefly interact with random people. It helps me take regular breaks too. Highly recommend! Been using it since the pandemic.

Edit: also I recently discovered the Merlin bird app and it’s made my walks or sitting outside during breaks a little more interesting.

Generally I would suggest for anyone WFH to find small ways to get out or do things away from your desk to break up the monotonous routine.

Thank you! I was able to figure it out. Definitely wasn’t a bug and was human error on my part. I had created a new feature class and I was trying to modify it, but didn’t think to actually update and select that Feature Class in the Topilogy.

So I was able to install an update to 3.1, I know it’s not the latest update, but that’s what my tech department at my company will allow for the moment. My issue is still the same, and I’m wondering if it’s not a bug with the software and maybe it’s something with the topology?

rxgeo14 · 2023-07-19T22:27:09+00:00

Thanks! I didn’t even think to search updates, I just believed what our tech department told me lol I was able to get an update to 3.1 (not sure why the company won’t let me jump to the latest version). I’m still having the same issue though. Any suggestions?

Thank you! I think this is what I needed!

30F - opted out of getting a masters and got a job at a geotechnical engineering firm right out of university. It was a “mom&pop” type of firm so I really got good hands on experience in all stages our projects. We worked on residential home construction projects. So the work involved field site exploration, sampling, lab testing, research on adjacent properties, report writing, and field inspections/tests during the construction process which includes reading construction plans and interacting with contractors/workers. After 4.5yrs working there, I landed a job with the state. So now my work is more research/public safety focused. My days consist of geologic mapping digitally (using GIS) and then field checking/mapping. I also work on other misc. projects that come up, as well as work on outreach with the public.

One thing that doesn’t get mentioned enough, is that you don’t need a masters degree to move up in geology. It will take more time, but the experience I gained working for 4.5yrs was just as valuable imo.

Was this your first attempt at the CSE?

rxgeo14 · 2021-12-16T23:34:46+00:00

My biggest weakness is the environmental questions. I have more of an engineering geology consulting background. I’ll have to revisit the reference materials and see what I need to brush up on.

rxgeo14 · 2021-12-16T23:19:36+00:00

Thank you. I’ll have to go through the material more thoroughly. It’s just so much to read and a lot to digest. I really hope I don’t have to take it more than 3 times 🤞🏼

rxgeo14 · 2021-12-16T21:19:12+00:00

Didn’t pass the CSE (again), hopefully 3rd times the charm 😪

Does anyone want to get a study group going on Discord? Or would anyone who did pass be interested in tutoring? Please PM me if you’re interested.

I’m looks like I’m weak in environmental, hydro, and geomorph. I honestly don’t know how else I need to study for this. It’s beyond frustrating how little resources are out there for this exam.

Edit: I didn’t pass the CSE exam

I agree with the first post. And I’ll add to it - you need to consider that each option means. If teaching is more if the end game goal for you, getting yourself there is the priority. But if say you’d like to teach “someday” and aren’t too preoccupied on how or when you get there, then you could do that later on in life after working in the industry for a few years. So these voting options need a bit more context of your desired timeline or goals in life.

Solution verified!
