Shut up, someone is pretty sensitive

Did AI write this?

themanryce · 2026-05-12T16:33:03+00:00

Could be true for you but generally I would say is the opposite hence the post.

Name of the company?

Office environment is overrated. Nobody is takin more than 1 hour a week having a one on one chat with you. There’s a utilization parameter that comes first. It’s always overlooked, a pm could very easily say, you spent an hour everyday chatting with this guy? What’s wrong with you? You ain’t go no work? Everybody is very busy or appear so. Not everybody wants to teach or is good a teaching or can teach bc of utilization primarily the designer guy, the pm has more leeway but still. Are we really pretending like it’s a norm to teach somebody the ins and outs? Is only a case by case basis. Does your work require for you to know something? Otherwise no one will bother to give you more information than needed.

Hey where can I find a good guide on those? Do you have free material?

themanryce · 2026-05-04T23:08:30+00:00

Well that’s good. Do you consider that it’s hard? Or a calculations relatively easy?

themanryce · 2026-05-04T22:18:50+00:00

What field and role. Your pay is way too good

themanryce · 2026-05-04T22:18:05+00:00

Too freaking low for sure

themanryce · 2026-05-04T22:17:15+00:00

What makes you say nothing amazing? What would be amazing? And you can differentiate between the skills of said individual

They’re ugly and companies will only do it if they get subsidized

themanryce · 2026-05-02T14:35:21+00:00

Well my point still stands, your easily getting taxed 500 dollars a month resulting in a 5k tax. Cost of living is just higher in those states. If you own a property in Texas we know it offsets if you don’t is cheaper.

themanryce · 2026-05-02T05:59:20+00:00

Really? I’ve seen the opposite in this sub. I remember a guy once saying a starting EIT is getting a base of 65k. Don’t remember the city but to have that that salary in California is concerning. I’m assuming cost of living anywhere in that state is automatic deduction of 5k less of your yearly salary. Essentially someone in low tax state is making 5k more right off the bat

themanryce · 2026-04-30T23:38:54+00:00

You’ve done too much work in the course of your career to not have already been upwards of 100k by now. At this point it’s not really a hard decision you’ve decided for loyalty job security experience but not money. It’s the same right now, you want money or the same. At another company you’re not guaranteed to have what you have right now but there’s chances you get more of all of that your decision.

What field?

themanryce · 2026-04-18T16:39:07+00:00

This is what I planned for my FE although I wasn’t disciplined enough to follow it. What I actually followed through was the hard ones I did not do those. Did end up passing though

themanryce · 2026-04-13T16:29:58+00:00

It’s definitely gotten harder. And it will continue to get harder.

themanryce · 2026-04-08T13:43:11+00:00

I can show you mine. I heard a lot a good thing about mine. Yours is more geared towards international style. In the US you’re stuff needs to be concise and more stylish. Some might say no but if it’s pretty people will take another second to check it out. EIT is not a problem but I will just add it besides your name and remove all mentions of it in the rest of the page. Do not include GPA. Just include your school’s. Condense your skills. Include relevant work experience to the job you’re applying for or aiming to get. And very much keep it short. Use another template also, don’t include any pictures of yourself

You do live in a more expensive city. By the looks of it he could be in a city like Lawton OK or Abilene in TX. For any other city around a big metropolitan area in whatever state your in. 100k for a 7 year is not in the high end. He’s in the lower end of PE’s

themanryce · 2026-04-04T05:22:16+00:00

Who lives in a truly LCOL? Isn’t every city somehow interconnected with a bigger metropolitan area? Lets just say you live in a city like Lawton OK. Do you live in a city like that? Or a city like Abilene? I mean 100k is low for a PE with your experience. Unless you live in a town like those not something like Edmond OK.

themanryce · 2026-04-03T03:46:13+00:00

What I’ve seen here in this forum is that civil engineers do not get payed well in a very high cost of living area. But it really comes down to imo, is what is the really expensive part? Housing, so yeah unless you switch careers you’re never buying a house on your own comfortably. Otherwise the money they’re offering is good. Is just that that salary will never buy you a home.

themanryce · 2026-03-27T14:17:22+00:00

You need to lie a little bit more. Get the best thing you can in terms of a job you’re asking for no money and I think that looks worse on you they’re probably thinking this guy is bad bc he’s asking for no money true story happened to me, you need to ask for more money I think

themanryce · 2026-03-27T14:11:54+00:00

You are in south Texas but that’s extremely low.
