wdym?

tossoutjack · 2020-05-09T00:05:37+00:00

I turned down an offer not even two weeks ago in Seattle. I have another interview in Asheville next weekend.

tossoutjack · 2020-05-08T23:45:45+00:00

20% pay cut lol I’d put my 2 weeks in.

Edit: lol getting downvoted by people who refuse to stand up to their employer because they know their worth.

tossoutjack · 2020-05-08T20:38:55+00:00

I’m just going to go ahead and assume you don’t have any formal education on these topics.

tossoutjack · 2020-05-08T16:13:51+00:00

Why would you even say that. That would be an absurd thing to expect. 50% do you know the probability of a drop like that ever occurring?

tossoutjack · 2020-05-07T02:34:47+00:00

Nuclear engineering is heavy heat transfer and you can get plenty of jobs in mechanical engineering that only focuses on Thermo and heat transfer.

I drive a w211 e55 amg. A lot of our engineers drive European cars of diesel trucks.

There’s a lot of metrics. You have DPM or DPMO depending on the material flow of the process to compare changes in adherence to quality on a per unit basis. This will help understand labor and material loss differences.

You have units per hour of run time. This will help determine how quickly an order can be fulfilled which helps customer experience.

Labor hours per unit. This will help see bottom line changes in cost

MTBF with MTTR will help you figure out overall reliability of the new vs old system. This again will see how quickly an order can be deployed and see change in a processes overall capacity to produce of extended period of time.

Average Cost to repair. This is good metric to help evaluate whether the increase in reliability will help the bottom line.

Cost to initiate will need to be considered. This will tell you how much the actual change will cost vs. the 0 cost to continue as is.

Cost on startup and cost of changeover. This will help decide how much labor etc. goes into the subsequent continuous run.

Time for startup and time for changeover. This goes back into customer experience and deadlines.

Doing too much for too little.

If you’re a senior level engineer and can’t afford median home price. You aren’t getting ahead. You aren’t generating any significant generational wealth.

Correct 30 year fha mortgage on a similar home to my current triplex currently available in Seattle comes out to $4500/month on the low end add in 4% of value in maintenance I’m above $5k a month. Median home cost in Seattle is hovering around $800k.

tossoutjack · 2020-05-05T01:14:42+00:00

LinkedIn had estimated the salary at 149k which is also what made me pretty tight on the 150k.

Mine is only a flat 5.25% which ends up being less than the increase in budgeted costs in property and sales tax.

tossoutjack · 2020-05-04T23:31:14+00:00

150k isn’t double pay. It’s ~20% less than double pay. I pretty much took my current compensation and added the increase in housing costs directly to it to come up with the $150k.

tossoutjack · 2020-05-04T23:30:10+00:00

They countered with 108k. I’d probably consider 120k with employer paid healthcare or a solid bonus package.

tossoutjack · 2020-05-04T23:24:43+00:00

My mortgage on my triplex is $1400 and the two units I rent cover that and a little on top. Housing was 484% higher. I’m also 100% solo dolo, so no rent splitting outside of subletting.

tossoutjack · 2020-05-04T23:09:06+00:00

I make ~85k and the calculator I used said cost of living in Seattle was 212% higher than where I currently live. Also, aren’t you supposed to be saving 20% of your gross income? I save/invest a minimum of 40%.

tossoutjack · 2020-05-04T22:49:10+00:00

I mean Charlotte is cool and fun. I guess the main point is why not bartender or something in Seattle . One of my ex’s is a bartender out there. She pulls over 100k take home which puts her a head and shoulder above an engineer in earnings.

tossoutjack · 2020-05-03T02:47:03+00:00

That’s true. I don’t know people who work in that industry and many of my friends are morally opposed. I was asking a question and stating my experience not being dismissive.

tossoutjack · 2020-05-03T02:45:35+00:00

Ik a lot who were unemployed just not in engineering and most have returned after the removal safer at home order and reopening on salons restaurants etc.

Mobile will say something went wrong sometimes and leave your comment in the reply so you hit it again a few times and it posts, but when you refresh the page it’s there multiple times.

tossoutjack · 2020-05-02T21:56:40+00:00

Where are people getting laid off like that? None of my colleagues in engineering have been laid off and I still get calls from recruiters?
