I am a Civil/Structural Engineer in the UK with 4 years of experience, working to ICE Chartership. I don't want to stay in CivEng, mainly because of the pay progression in the field. I've researched and struggled to find other high paying careers I can pivot into with my background aside from management consulting. Still not sure whether to pivot now, or push through and get chartered and then think about it later. Is chartership even worth it if I don't want to stay in engineering?
Hi everyone 👋 Currently exploring a move into tech sales after working in commercial sales within the Premier League. My background is mainly sponsorship sales, strategic partnerships and high-value commercial negotiations, and I'm now looking at AE opportunities in SaaS - especially companies like Salesforce. Long term, my wife is American so we'd also love to eventually move to the US. Would love to connect with anyone who's made a similar move or has advice on breaking into the industry.
How does one even begin to think to go back to work when life isn’t just lifing, you went through some really f’d up stuff… career pivot from customer service possible start but what low stress jobs hire people like me with a social anxiety and ptsd? Work from home are so hard to find but best option.
Hey guys, any recommendations on where to start looking for remote jobs? i’m a SAHM with baby #2 on the way. sadly in this economy, one income coming from hubby just isn’t enough, and i’m sure in person jobs won’t hire a heavily pregnant mom... i’ve tried searching indeed and zip recruiter, but a lot of those jobs require some sort of college degree or need requirements i do not have, and are repetitive in the same listings. most of my work is in retail & restaurant hospitality
Is this a red flag? For context, I was going to college full time between 2015-2019. During that time, i was working in retail and on campus at some point. I also had two other jobs not seen in this screenshot I was at for at least a few years while also attending university. My first job was from 2014-2017 and the second job from 2017-2021. So, there were a few points where I was working two jobs while also attending college full-time. Would this look bad to employers?
So I just got a job offer in a field I previously worked and despite having every single listed qualification, skill, and all the preferred experience, my compensation offer is at the very bottom of the advertised range. I was hoping to at least land somewhere in the middle but should I just be happy with what I got and/or bring it up several months into the job or should I say something now? Definitely am not trying to lose the job before I even start...
Assuming ICE Chartership is the equivalent of an PE here in the states. I was in a similar situation, 2 years out of school and felt CE was poorly paid and a dead end. Decided to pivot to tech program/project management, 2 years later I make more then my newly minted PE, and then 3 years later even some of the senior ones. The thought of taking an 9 hour exam is stressful. Check out UK Deloitte major programmes , might be a good pivot
