Finished reading the old stuff. Who was giving all the Neg reps? I can’t see from my phone.

Also regarding the negs:
posted by jmogAt about 6 to all those numbers.
Only 2 things have changed really, I make over 2x the money I did in 2017 and my first grandchild is due in August as my oldest got married last year.
Technically my title is Principle Application Engineer, Chemical Engineer is just my degree.
Sometimes I can’t believe how well my new company has done for me.
I left old one not that long after this post (about a year).
25% bump when I left.
5 typical COL increases averaging about 3.5%.
3 raises as my bonus plan changed from 10% to 20% over 3 years.
3 “promotion” raises, in quotes because same actual job, different title/responsibilities (think engineer 1, 2, 3, etc). About to get another one of these in a couple months, just going through the international committee approval.
Even not counting the original 25% as a “raise” that’s still 11 raises in 4.5 years.
I am CERTAIN that frequency will die soon as the bonus plan won’t change unless I get a “real” promotion managing engineers, and the “same job” promotions are basically out (possibly one more).
But it has been good to see my salary double in 4.5 years from old job to current.

Environmental

Environmental usually “specializes” in civil or chemical. Civil more about ground contamination and some water. Chemical more air contamination and some water.
I work with a lot of environmental engineers on the air pollution side.
Tell him if he wants to make money stay away from the EPA (obvious job for environmental engineering) and do EHS work for industry. More money
Just my 2 cents, and good luck
Wasn't salto thavoice, or was it another CCRunner name?
I thought salto was his own person but he had a couple names he cycled between.

that seems pretty young for an IT director (unless it's a small district and you do practically everything by yourself)
