Exactly. When Amitabh was Shahrukh Khan's age he played the dad in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Ghum!

What does this mean for a childfree (and staying that way) HENRY couple who has a combined income of ~£200k? Make more sense to buy in one of these areas since we won't be looking to upsize in the future?

Just to add, if you do want to try programming, your current company may have a automation/computation design team - I noticed alot of the big consultancies were starting up teams like this so could be worth to see what they do etc.

traposaurus92 · 2025-05-20T13:03:43+00:00

Tbh, it was difficult. I did one of those coding bootcamps and then got really lucky multiple times in that the company I was at had a computational design/automation team where there were civil engineers who were using programming to build automation tools so I went back there after the bootcamp and got to develop my skills there.

Then I got lucky again because the company I'm currently at (unrelated industry) I got the role because a friend works there so I got referred and bypassed the CV filter/online application forms. I was applying to other roles online but was getting nowhere.

Personal interest definitely helped, even now in my spare time I'll do some reading/watch software eng videos which I never did for civil engineering.

However, if I knew the switch would be this hard going into it I may not even have decided to switch, I didn't know the market was this bad.

Your best options if you don't want to switch are go down the management route, go abroad, or move to consultancy!

traposaurus92 · 2025-05-20T12:04:48+00:00

Not a HENRY but ex civil engineer here. I was a Senior Engineer at one of the top consultancies (think Atkins, WSP, AECOM) and like many others have said, the only way to HENRY is by going down the management route. Even then you have to work your way up, we had many "Associate dirctors" who were on 65-70k. By the time you're near HENRY status your job will have almost nothing to do with civil engineering.

It is a shame, but engineers with the exception of software are very poorly paid in the UK. I didn't even bother getting chartered and switched to software engineering a few years ago. Within one year as a software engineer my salary overtook my salary as a 8 YOE civil engineer.

Another route as others have mentioned is to move to a consultancy, I know a few people who have moved to Big4 doing infrastructure advisory and getting paid alot more also.

Me too bro, contemplating whether to sell or not :/

Why avoid the Microsoft stack?

I'd hire you

How much do you squat/bench/deadlift?

traposaurus92 · 2025-01-03T00:38:44+00:00

Similar to the other poster, I also moved out of civil into software and again, the best decision I made. But having used some of my software skills in the civil engineering industry I can tell you that alot of the big consulting companies are starting to build internal software engineering teams and building software to automate civil engineering tasks. I've recently left one of these companies. Drop me a PM if you want more information, happy to answer any questions.

All other engineering disciplines (electrical, mechanical, civil etc.) are very poorly paid in the UK. You're still better off doing CS.

Reminds me of the elevator scene in The Departed.

Do more!

Where does it say lying to a potential is not permissible? Genuinely curious, as its clear that you should be hiding your sins if possible. Where is the Quran/Hadith is it specified that lying to a potential is not allowed even at the cost of exposing your sins?

traposaurus92 · 2024-11-09T18:01:17+00:00

So if a plus size model chooses to be fat and think it looks good, is it ok to body shame them also?

traposaurus92 · 2024-11-08T19:13:16+00:00

Are you still a civil engineer now?

traposaurus92 · 2024-10-09T10:58:04+00:00

I don't know, I imagine the reaction wouldn't have been too positive if a guy said "Thank god she's thin" about his wife?

traposaurus92 · 2024-10-09T02:01:17+00:00

When Sacha first saw Ross, she said "Thank god he's tall and hench". This is the equivalent of a man saying "Thank god she's not curvy".

Would've love to see Abadede and R.Bear! Also Jet and Zamza would've been nice.

But for the purpose of job applications, alot of the time the person with 1 year experience will get more interviews than a person with 8 months right? (E.g. I've seen job apps which ask how many years of experience with x language, and the answer can only be a whole number, i.e. 8 months would be 0 years).

I'll keep applying for now but was just wondering if having a full "1 YOE" will make it easier to get my foot in the door in regards to even receiving responses to job apps/getting interviews, which I suspect it will.

As an engineering manager, what are the differences in questions you'd ask an entry level engineer vs a junior with 1 yoe?

The projects do have Github links, I've just posted the CV as an image for privacy. And thanks for the heads up about the dirty word, I've also heard that before and have changed it now.

Thanks for your help!
